Love Island accepting applications from 'people in relationships' for 2022 series

Love Island is reportedly allowing people with partners to apply for its 2022 series.

Applications are now open for the longest-ever edition of the ITV show, which is traditionally strictly for singletons.

But a loophole in the application process allows people in relationships, who perhaps don't expect to be for much longer, a chance to apply.

Applicants are asked: "Are you single?"

But if they click "no", the site says: "Please describe your current relationship situation."

Applicants can then fill in details and are allowed to still apply.

This year's series of Love Island is expected to be the longest yet, with hopefuls told they will need to block out 10 weeks of the summer.

ITV said: "ITV2 are looking for vibrant singles from across the UK who want to head to the sun, in search of love!

"The chosen cast will spend time in a luxury villa, getting to know one another, but to remain in paradise they must win the hearts of the public and their fellow Islanders who ultimately decide their fate on Love Island."

It comes as the famous villa has reportedly been scrapped.

Love Island has been filmed at a luxury villa in Majorca for five years, but bosses are on the hunt for a new space to 'enhance the show,' .

Every year, the show attracts millions of viewers to watch a score of outgoing singles as they try and find love in the Spanish sun.

Last year Millie Court and Liam Reardon won the show, which was cancelled in the summer of 2020 due to coronavirus restrictions at the time.

Local contestants in recent years include Bristol's very own Siânnise Fudge and Weston-super-Mare's Jake Cornish.
