The BEST reactions to 'Celebrity Love Island' 🙈
Sorry!
Last updated 1st Apr 2019
When we woke up this morning and saw the date in our diaries, we just couldn't resist but play a little April Fool's Day prank on you lot. As our friends over at heatworld revealed a fictitious line-up for 'Celebrity Love Island', we told you that Hits Radio presenter Gethin Jones would be included in the line-up.
Watch the moment Gethin revealed the news live on air...
After the 'announcement', which included the likes of Vicky Pattison, Gemma Collins, Lewis Capaldi, Callum Best, Jordyn Woods AND Miranda Hart in the line-up, the Internet went WILD at the news, with some of the celebs even getting in on the prank.
Vicky Pattison, who recently called off things with Ercan Ramadan, took to Instagram to write, 'Well it looks like the cats out the bag!!! As you all know I’m a HUGE @loveisland fan and it’s no secret that my love life is tempestuous to say the least but I’m hoping my luck will change and I’ll find love in the villa!!! ‘I GOT A TEXXXXTTTTTT.....’ 💕✈️🥂📱👙'. sic
Calum Best, who appeared on the original series of Celebrity Love Island, then added, 'Whos ready?!! @loveisland round 3 !!!! #celebrityloveisland . Finally find my myself a mrs ❤️'. sic
Miranda Hart also got involved, tweeting, 'Well @heatworld finally announced there will be a Celebrity Love Island this year and I can confirm with nerves and excitement I am going to part of line up with Gethin Jones and Gemma Collins amongst others. Such fun times ahead.' sic
'Someone You Loved' singer and social media legend Lewis Capaldi also reacted to the news he was going to appear on the show.
Taking to his Instagram Story, the Scottish singer shared the article with his fans.
You can see Lewis Capaldi perform at Hits Radio Live Birmingham on Saturday 4th May - alongside Ellie Goulding, Zara Larsson, James Arthur, The Vamps, Mabel, Tom Walker and HRVY. Get your tickets here.
Former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger then added, 'Here you go .. ready to meet my husband 🤫'.
It wasn't just celebs that reacted to the news either, you lot were completely overjoyed at the prospect of a celebrity edition of the popular reality series.
One fan wrote on Twitter, 'JORDYN WOODS IS GONNA BE ON CELEBRITY LOVE ISLAND????????????????', with another adding, 'OMG they’re doing a celebrity love island... this is life changing'. sic
A third wrote, 'There’s going to be a celebrity love island this year and I’m SO SO excited'. sic
Although the story was completely made up for April Fool's Day, we have to admit, this line-up would be pretty special:
Hits Radio's Gethin Jones
Hits Radio breakfast host Gethin Jones couldn't be more excited to head into the world's most famous villa. The really-quite-aethetically-pleasing Welshman says: "I'm going on Celebrity Love Island for one reason only; to find the one. Who's to say I won't find my dream girl in there?"
Failing that we're always here, Gethin. Call us.
Sam Thompson
He's tried his luck on Celebs Go Dating twice; and now Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson's hoping it'll be third time lucky on Celebrity Love Island. Describing his dream date, Sam says he's looking for someone 'geeky, bubbly and a bit of a laugh.' Will he find that in the villa?
Lewis Capaldi
Someone You Loved and Hits Radio Live Birmingham artist Lewis Capaldi's an absolute social media sensation who's hoping his charm will help him find love in Majorca. "I want someone I can serenade in the Spanish sun," he says. Cute.
Get your tickets to see Lewis at Free Radio Hits Live on May 4th 2019 HERE.
Calum Best
Calum originally starred in the 2005 series of Celebrity Love Island and - like Sam - gave Celebs Go Dating a bash. He's on the lookout for someone 'blonde, adventurous and deep.'
Well we tick two of those boxes, babes.
Gemma Collins
Ladies and gentlemen; The GC is heading for the Celebrity Love Island villa. Guess the producers don't have much faith in her on/off relationship with Arg, eh?
Katie McGlynn
Swapping the cobbles for a slightly more exotic location, Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn reckons her northern charm will help her secure a man in the villa. "I'm a bit of a mad one," she says. "It takes a strong man to handle me."
We think she'd be a perfect match for Sam, by the sound of things 👀.
Tulisa Contostavlos
Making her return to telly following her stint as a judge on The X Factor, Tulisa promises to be 'honest and real' in the Celebrity Love Island villa. Take it she won't be on her Best Behaviour, then?
Jordyn Woods
As if life hasn't been dramatic enough for Kylie Jenner's former BFF Jordyn lately, she's set to cause a stir over in Spain. We cannot WAIT.
Vicky Pattison
Having reportedly split from her boyfriend - and rumoured Love Island contestant - Ercan Ramadan, Vicky's hoping to heal her broken heart with a new squeeze on Celebrity Love Island. Why aye, pet.
BOMBSHELL: Miranda Hart
Miranda's even set to join the villa is a Bombshell this series. That's sure to throw a spanner in the works.
So, despite a Celebrity Love Island NOT taking place this year, maybe ITV might get some ideas for 2020? 🙈
Meanwhile, the normal series of Love Island is due back on our TV screens in June!
