Love Island bosses 'introduce new feature in updated villa to encourage more hook ups'

Love Island bosses have reportedly gone to extra lengths to make sure the show returns steamier and sexier than ever before.

The ITV2 series, which will kick off at the beginning of next month, is said to be coming back with a huge gym and workout area- perfect for working up a sweat.

Producers are said to hope the new feature will lead to more hook-ups, as the single islanders will be able to watch their love interests from afar.

An insider revealed to The Sun : "Viewers love all the scenes of rippling muscles and sexy squats.

"Now producers hope that extra space for couples to work out will lead to more hook-ups as the testosterone flows."

Mirror Online has contacted ITV for comment.

This comes as rumours continue to spiral around who is set to head into the villa this year.

Among the reported line-up is 6ft 2ins basketball star Jordan Spencer.

The towering hunk, who played for the London Lions, is said to be currently in talks with bosses.

The 27-year old, who studied at Augustana University in South Dakota before graduating in 2018, regularly shares topless photos and action shots on his profile.

A source told The Sun : "It's still too early to say whether Jordan is in the final line-up but bosses are keen.

"He's been in talks to appear on Love Island and even met some of the producers who are working on the all-important cast list."

A Love Island spokesperson said: "Any names suggested are purely speculation at this stage."

It comes after it was reported producers are also lining up Turkish beauty Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu to appear on this year's series.

The influencer, who splits her time between London and Istanbul, already has a host of celebrity admirers among her 345,000 Instagram followers, including The Only Way Is Essex 's Pete Wicks and James Lock.

Her followers also include the likes of Wayne Lineker, and Piers Morgan 's son, Spencer.

The stunning star has previously featured in the TV series Kuzey Yildiz in her home country, and now looks set to enter the villa in Majorca.

The much-loved reality series will be broadcast from a brand new location as a new bunch of singletons look set to enjoy a summer of sun, fun and romance.

Last month an insider claimed: " Love Island is coming back with a bang and it will begin on the second full week in June.

"The schedules are being put together now and fans can expect a long, hot summer of fun from the villa from June 6, filming for the promotional adverts is beginning in the next couple of weeks and the ads will start in May.

"This series is going to be the longest ever and it’s from a brand new location so it’s all very exciting," the source added to The Sun.

When approached by The Mirror, an ITV2 spokesperson said: "It's too early to confirm scheduling for the show."

Back in February, ITV confirmed that this year's series of Love Island will be filmed in 'brand new villa'.

An official statement read: "The ultimate Summer of love is on the horizon as Love Island makes it's long awaited return, direct from a brand new villa in Mallorca. Applications are currently open for singletons looking for a long, hot Summer…"
