Love Island news has emerged indicating that the contestants that will be entering the villa this season will be tested for the coronavirus. The news comes after it was revealed by an insider that the show will not be filmed in the United Kingdom, and that bosses are pressing on with their plans for the summer to be filmed in the late summer in Spain.
It hasn’t yet been officially confirmed that the show will be going ahead as planned, with insiders claiming that the plans will likely focus on the show starting in August rather than the initial date of June. That date could yet be pushed back until a later date should the virus continue to disrupt travel plans.
Love Island News: Hosting The Show In The UK Not Happening
It was rumoured that the show could be filmed in the United Kingdom should the travel bans not be lifted. However, these rumours were knocked back by insiders who claimed that this would destroy the concept of the show, as the weather will ensure that it doesn’t feel like a Love Island experience that fans have come to expect.
The bosses have revealed that they will allow up until November for the series to be completed, with a start date of August or September looking the most likely. The start date isn’t likely to be revealed until later in the year when more details are known surrounding the possible lifting of travel restrictions.
