Fans of Love Island no longer have to wait a whole year to get their fix, as the show has confirmed there will be two series in 2020.
Producers will be creating a winter series in South Africa, as well as the usual summer version in Europe.
Love Island confirmed the exciting news today. It comes as the current series has drawn a whopping 6 million viewers at its peak.
In early 2020 Love Island will be back and it will be filmed in a brand new villa in South Africa.
The normal series will then follow, meaning viewers will only need to wait months for more Love Island drama.
