The new ITV2 reality television show replacing Love Island 2023

Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan were crowned Love Island 2023 winners on Monday, March 13. The ITV2 and ITVX dating series was on screens every single night at 9pm from Monday, January 16, so many fans of the dating programme will be looking for something to fill that void now it's over.

While there will be another series of Love Island later this year, in the meantime, bosses have confirmed what will replace Love Island in that 9pm slot on ITV2 from Tuesday, March 14. A new reality gameshow called Loaded in Paradise will replace the dating series.

Loaded in Paradise is described as an "action-packed, adrenalised reality gameshow where party-loving pairs island hop around Greece's Aegean Islands in a race to take control of - and spend - 50,000 euros." The series actually landed on ITV's streaming service ITVX on Wednesday, December 28, so all episodes are already available to binge.

The series starts with five pairs, including friends Kishon and Kara from Brighton, best friends Millie and Amelia from Cheshire and Bury, sisters Karra and Jasmine hailing from Milton Keynes, best friends Ieuan and Kane from Wales and Bristol respectively, and Jamie and Guy who have been friends for 15 years.

A synopsis for the series reads: "The series starts with 5 pairs and a Gold Card loaded with cash, to blow on the wildest trip of their lives. However, only one lucky pair can be in control at any time. For this pair it's simple, live their best life on the run but don’t get caught! Meanwhile, everyone else will be trying to hunt them down and take control of the card.

"The cash card will be loaded up with afresh cash injection daily, so our spenders can live it up and spend, spend, spend. At the end of each chase, a luxury Safehouse will open and everyone will reconvene.

"Dotted across the Aegean islands, these amazing and luxurious hubs will allow viewers to see the drama and fallout of the chase as they all come together. On the final leg of the chase, there'll be a big twist as everyone chases the Gold Card one last time. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
