Love Island series 7 has been moved to 2021 because of the pandemic.
Host Laura Whitmore has tweeted that "next year will be BIG!"
She says the show has been affected by "restrictions with travel, social distancing" and they couldn't plan ahead.
Like with a lot of things because of restrictions with travel, social distancing and unable to plan ahead, Love Island is postponed until 2021.
Great news is that there have been more applications then any other series! Next year is going to be BIG. Stay safe ❤️— Laura Whitmore ⚡️ (@thewhitmore) May 4, 2020
Director: "Making it safely is our prime concern"
Meanwhile ITV's Kevin Lygo says it's just not possible to produce the show safely:
"Logistically it's just not possible to produce it in a way that safeguards the well-being of everyone involved and that for us is the priority."
"In normal circumstances we would be preparing very soon to travel out to the location in Mallorca to get the villa ready but clearly that’s now out of the question.
"We are very sorry for fans of the show but making it safely is our prime concern and Love Island will be back stronger than ever in 2021.
