The brand new Love Island villa has been unveiled for the first time ahead of the start of the series next week. The summer is about to get a whole lot hotter as the ITV2 dating show returns to screens on Monday, June 6.

Love Island is nearly upon us as the show is set to kick off in just six short days with a host of new sexy singletons looking to find The One. A brand new villa and food challenges being scrapped are not the only changes to be introduced to the 2022 series though as show producer Mike Spencer has confirmed sex will be shown again after a blackout ban appeared to be introduced last year.

LOVE ISLAND revealed year's lineup of dating hopefuls on Monday, and it has been announced that the singletons WILL be shown having sex despite last year's series' blackout. Love Island producers confirmed to MailOnline that sex is still on the menu, and they will assess each moment of pleasure between the Islanders on a case-by-case basis.

Love Island villa will be back on TV screens on Monday, June 6, but it won't be the one fans know and love.With a complete image overhaul, the villa will look slightly different on-screen with some new changes - but the famous fire pit will still be a main feature, along with a brand new gym with a large training area.Speaking with Daily Star and other press, executive producer Mike Spencer said he loves the villa ITV bosses ultimately decided on after looking at numerous locations.He said: "We looked at quite a few villas, but this one was by far the best.“The view is beautiful.

Love Island bosses may have toned back the amount of sex scenes shown on air, but it doesn’t mean the villa has become less raunchy.Islanders haven’t held back when speaking about their sex lives with their fellow stars, though some try to keep things a little more under wraps.And if they do keep their X-rated antics to themselves, they still have plenty of protection - in the form of square-shaped Love Island logo condoms.Each year the villa is filled with condoms which feature a heart-shaped logo on the wrapper, and while bosses confessed they hadn’t yet received them, they’re definitely on their way.Speaking to Daily Star and other press, Love Island bosses said there were currently no condoms in the villa the week prior to the launch.However, when prompted on if condoms will be hitting the shelves, they confirmed a "bucket load" of condoms will be placed in the villa, before adding they would be "finished with the logo".The influx of condoms goes hand-in-hand with the new hideaway which is still yet to be unveiled.And it looks like bosses are predicting a lot of steamy set-ups this year, with executive producer Mike Spencer admitting they’ve been working overdrive on their match-making.He said: “We've worked really hard to match make this year."I'm hoping that there's someone for everyone, I think we've done well with types.

Love Island 2022 is quickly coming around the corner - and rumours of the contestants are swirling around. However, could some of the contestants actually be former favourites heading into the villa to try, once again, to find the person of their dreams? Bosses seem keen - and hints have been dropped.During a Q&A with fans on Reddit on Wednesday, executive producer Mike Spencer confessed he would "love" to bring back the stars of the show for a one-off special...

Love Island boss Mike Spencer says he would "love" to make an "all-star" series of the dating show that features former contestants from past series.Participating in an Ask Me Anything session on forum site Reddit, Executive Producer Mike Spencer was asked if he would ever bring back Celebrity Love Island.Though he wasn't keen on reviving the old format, he did offer an alternative... which might be an even better option for fans.For those not in the know, Celebrity Love Island was the original format of the dating show and was a big hit on TV from 2005 to 2006 – but then fizzled out.It starred the likes of Paul Danan, Bianca Gascoigne, Calum Best, Brendan Cole and Shane Lynch – but only lasted for two seasons in total.Producer Mike doesn't seem keen on the idea of a celebrity version of the popular dating show returning though but did offer a potential alternative.

Love Island bosses have confirmed there will be no more food challenges on the show after viewers dubbed them 'disgusting'.
