The return of the winter edition of Love Island is just days away and viewers are being given a sneak peak inside the brand new villa which will host this year's contestants. The winter version of the popular ITV2 dating show is back on screens on January 16 for its second series, with the first airing back in 2020.
The new series will see Maya Jama make her debut as the dating show's host, taking over from Laura Whitmore who announced she was quitting the role at the end of the 2022 summer series. Laura, 37, took over from her friend Caroline Flack in January 2020 to present the first ever winter series and continued hosting after Caroline's tragic death in February 2020.
Now Maya, 28, will follow in Laura's footsteps as she is set to present this winter series, and the usual summer edition in Majorca later this year. Not only is there is a new host, but ITV bosses have announced several changes to the show including a social media ban.
