Winter Love Island chaos as bosses rush to finish villa ahead of new series start date

Love Island bosses and producers are reportedly rushing to prepare the winter villa in time for the newest season of the show.

The brand-new villa is being given a "complete makeover" in time for the show returning in January, reports the Mirror. The new islanders will travel to South Africa for a new season of Love Island in the stunning property, which costs £450 to rent as the Sun reports.

The property, which is set in millionaire's row, has a huge T-shaped pool and is surrounded by incredible views. Sources have informed The Sun that the villa is still in need of more work ahead of the impending start date.

Insiders said: "The villa is getting a complete makeover - it'll be bigger and better than ever.

"The firepit is back and absolutely huge; they've built a bridge-type structure over the pool so islanders don't have to walk all the way to confront love rivals.

"Plus, it's covered in neon signs that fans will recognise from the original villa."

The new show will be hosted by Maya Jama for the first time after she replaced former host Laura Whitmore.

Maya has shared her excitement over the new job, she said how excited she is to be "hosting one of the nation's favourite shows".

Maya will also host the summer version of the popular dating show, which is set in Majorca. As the show has started to make more of an effort to be more environmentally conscious, the house is eco friendly and runs off grid by generating its own electricity and water.

There is no official start date yet, but the series is set to start in January 2023.
