First look at brand new Love Island villa in Majorca – and it’s getting a very glam transformation ahead of show launch
THE Love Island villa is getting a brand new makeover for the 2024 summer series, our exclusive pictures reveal.
Builders are working their magic to tranform the huge ITV set for a fresh crop of sexy singletons in Spain.
The Sun revealed the first girl and first boy heading to the sunkissed mansion, nestled within lush mountains on the island of Majorca.
Scaffolding and builders have been spotted all across the rented property where the contestants of series 11 will enjoy a long hot summer.
Shots of the rustic retreat show Love Island contractors adding modern features including the terrace where secret chats and snogs are all caught on camera.
The flash pad has also been given a new paint job, with areas painted a distinctive yellow, blue, and pink, adding to the romance in the ITV dating show.
The giant pool and huge fire pit – where host Maya Jama reveals who is getting dumped – look ready to go.
ITV have planned a major shake-up to Love Island launch night with plans to launch the show simultaneously across ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX for the first time ever.
Last summer’s launch hit 1.7million when streaming figures from ITVX were included.
Meanwhile, The Sun can reveal a hunky Welsh rugby player is joining the hunt for love.
Ciaran Davies plays for rugby union team Tondu.
A source said: “Ciaran caught the eye of Love Island bosses.
“He’s gorgeous with a fit, athletic build that will send the girls in the villa wild, but he’s also a sweet boy next door from Wales.
“He’s been in talks for weeks and is set to jet out to the villa in Majorca in the coming week or so.”
We also revealed a Love Island legend has teased their return to the villa.
