ExCLUSIVE: Executive producer Mike Spencer has predicted that the new series will have its most exciting year yet, and these two brand-new islanders are divided on the new “twists and turns”
Hold onto your bikinis, because Love Island is heating up like never before. After a decade of drama, declarations, and duvet-diving, ITV’s sun-soaked hit is back – and this time, sex is on the table. Literally.
Yes, it will be visible. After giving an exclusive tour of the villa, executive producer Mike Spencer said, “If sex happens, we’ll show it.” The Hideaway is open daily.
Forget fumbling under the covers – this year, the cameras aren’t blinking. Mike added: “We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive. We the producers need to stay ahead of the curve. The whole ‘twists and turns’ thing is about making the show fresh. We’re going to give it all we’ve got.” Well, mission accomplished.
Host Maya Jama, back with her signature sass and slay, said: “I feel like they forgot last year that you could come in the Hideaway at any time. We did tell them, but they kept forgetting!” Not anymore, Maya.
And what do this year’s sizzling singletons think? Megan Moore, who goes by Meg, is a 25-year-old payroll specialist from Southampton, told us: “It’s not ideal to be having it on telly, but you don’t know because you’re in that bubble. If it comes naturally, then it happens. You can’t ever never say never.”
Meanwhile, Sophie Lee, a 29-year-old former fire breather, influencer and motivational speaker from Manchester, is taking a different route: “I am celibate. I’ve practiced celibacy throughout my dating life. It’ll take a really hot guy to change that! For me, intimacy is giving a piece of my soul. If I’m not in a confident place, it’s a me problem – not his.”
I’ve now been more than 8 months celibate, having previously been celebate for two years, and I’m proud of that. Not out of fear, I only want to have sex when I really want to.
This summer, Meg enters the villa in search of romance, and she is putting her passion on payslips.
Before she even steps foot inside the villa, Meg, who calls herself a “girl’s girl” with a heart of gold, is already making waves. She insists she’s “not your typical Islander,” and that she’s refreshingly honest and somewhat chaotic. She could be exactly what the villa needs with her “mum of the group” energy.
She told us, “I thought I’d be more nervous, but I actually feel really chilled.” “I’m so excited because it’s getting real right now.”
Meg kept it natural, aside from a new set of hair extensions, unlike many Islanders do cosmetic preparation. I don’t do a lot of filler, I guess. She claimed that she had a little trouble two years ago, but that’s it.
Meg is ready to give it all when it comes to love. “I’ll go for a man if I want one.” She exclaimed, “Hate the game, not the player.”
How has Meg fared in her romantic life? She admits that her relationship with her partner was “a bit of a shambles” and attributes poor hygiene to previous relationships as a major irritant. She is now prepared for a boyfriend and a little drama.
While Meg is bringing the fire, Sophie is no stranger to it too. After suffering life-changing burns when she was 22, the model is channelling that traumatic time into her superpower.
She explains that losing body confidence has taken a journey. I previously declined to participate in the program because I wasn’t prepared. I still needed to do some inner work. I’m now feeling confident, beautiful, and proud. Not just how you look, your beauty is. You could feel beautiful while carrying a bin bag. It’s about how I feel inside, in my opinion. I’m at a point where I can handle rejection and trust that it’s okay if something doesn’t work for me.
