The winter series was an extra one launched for the first time this year, not a replacement for the traditional summer Love Island series.

While a new villa in South Africa was used for this recent season, the ITV2 show will be returning to Majorca for filming later this year.

ITV announced in 2019 that Love Island would be returning for two series in 2020.
