The sixth series of Love Island began broadcasting on 12 January 2020 on ITV2. The series was announced on 24 July 2019 when it was confirmed that two series would air in 2020, and is also the first winter edition of the series. Unlike the summer edition, the luxury villa is located in Cape Town. This series is also the first to be hosted by Laura Whitmore, having taken over from Caroline Flack. The series is narrated by Iain Stirling.
On 15 February 2020, following the death of former presenter Caroline Flack, the Unseen Bits episode due to air that day was not broadcast; but was made available on the ITV Hub. The regular episode did not air the following day either. The show returned on 17 February with a tribute to Flack. On the same day, ITV2 confirmed that the companion series Love Island: Aftersun which was set to air after that episode's main show would not be broadcast. A further tribute to Flack aired during the final on 23 February, which featured a compilation of her time throughout her five series as host
Love Island is due for a huge shakeup as ITV is looking to rejuvenate the show with a glamorous new offering called Love Island All Stars.
Building on the legacy of the show's ten-series run, the upcoming winter edition will feature fan-favourite contestants from previous seasons, all set in a villa in Cape Town, South Africa.
However, producers are also considering introducing unexpected elements to stir things up. In addition to bringing back familiar faces, there are discussions about introducing ordinary individuals who are not part of the Love Island fame circuit.This move is intended to test whether the participants are genuinely seeking love or just seeking fame.The producers hope that adding fresh faces to the mix will challenge the established dynamics and motives of the contestants.
A source revealed to The Sun : "Love Island bosses want to make sure they’re out of the ratings slump when winter rolls around for All Stars.They are working out ways to give the show a real kick and to make the format have a lasting impact on viewers." While the show is known for its drama and love triangles, the introduction of new contestants could reignite old rivalries and love interests, potentially leading to unexpected and captivating storylines.
