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.
