How long is Love Island 2021 on for?
LOVE ISLAND is back on our telly screens very shortly and reality fans cant wait to spend their summer watching the romantic hopefuls in the villa. Heres everything you need to know. Its unclear at this stage how long this years Love Island will last for. Previous series have dominated our TV screens for up to eight weeks of the summer. A lot could hinge on the coronavirus pandemic, with a surge in cases - or an outbreak on set - causing the show to be stopped prematurely. According to the Radio Times, the current series may last longer than usual because producers are concerned about a rise in Covid-19 cases over the winter. ITV aim to do two series a year of the hit TV show but its not been on air for around 18 months due to the pandemic. Speaking about Love Islands cancellation last summer, Kevin Lygo, Director of Television at ITV told The Sun: "We have tried every way to make Love Island this summer. "But logistically it's just not possible to produce it in a way that safeguards the well-being of everyone involved and that for us is the priority. "In normal circumstances we would be preparing very soon to travel out to the location in Mallorca to get the villa ready but clearly thats now out of the question. "We are very sorry for fans of the show but making it safe is our prime concern and Love Island will be back stronger than ever in 2021." Love Island will start on Monday, June 28 at 9pm. And the show will return to the iconic villa in Majorca. In a statement, ITV said: "Love Island returns for its seventh sizzling series, as a host of new singletons seek to find their perfect match. "Returning to ITV2, the Islanders must do their best to flirt, date, couple up and try to avoid being 'dumped'."
