Love Island bosses CONFIRM there will be two series in 2020

The news has finally been confirmed that we've all been waiting for... Love Island is set to return with two series next year, with the first planned to air in early 2020!

Confirming the news on Twitter, ITV2 posted a video of the current Islanders jumping in the pool, with the caption, 'DOUBLE THE LOVE It's official! Love Island will be back for TWO series in 2020! #LoveIsland2020 @LoveIsland #LoveIsland'.

ITV revealed the show will be back after Christmas, in a new, stunning location - SOUTH AFRICA! A brand new bunch of singletons will head to a new villa in their quest to find love.

Paul Mortimer, Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions at ITV said, “Off the back of a record-breaking year, we're delighted to be bringing an extra series of our biggest and sunniest show to the 2020 schedule.

"Love Island has proven yet again to be the perfect format that engages younger audiences. In response to this viewer appetite, a new batch of young singletons will deliver some highly anticipated post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location".

The show's success is testament to the magnificent production team that decamp to Mallorca every year to deliver the award-winning show with its trademark warmth, wit and wide-ranging appeal. And now 2020 is going to have even more love than before".

And fans are over the moon with the news. Taking to Twitter, one user replied to ITV2's tweet, writing, 'OMG TWO?! Wow what did we do to deserve this? Thank. You.', whilst another added, 'That could be the end of my marriage, seriously ffs'. sic

With the show hitting a peak of six million viewers this year as well as reaching two billion impressions on Twitter, ITV are hoping the next series will have a much success as the previous five.
