ITV is said to have already started interviewing potential contestants for this year's Love Island.

After last year's series was cancelled due to coronavirus, producers are said to be determined to get the show back on air safely this summer and are in the process of creating a COVID-secure set in Majorca.

A recent report suggested that ITV has received a record 100,000 applications, and according to former contestant Georgia Harrison, producers are already talking to their favourites.

"I'm so jealous of anyone who gets to go on it. I've heard of a few people who are in the interview process and it's just so exciting," she told The Sun.

"I wish I could go back in time and be in their position again.

"I don't want to say who [I know] because I might get into trouble for that - they might get dropped.

"It's just friends of friends - it's just a few people I know."

The new series has been earmarked for a July launch on ITV2.
