Love Island crew battle to transform brand new villa in time for 2022 series set to star Michael Owen’s daughter
IN a matter of weeks a number of sexy singles are set to descend on the villa to find love.
And Love Island crew members are busy trying to create a perfect backdrop for a long, hot summer.
New images show there’s still a bit of a way to go to match up to the villa used in previous series.
The rustic Majorcan retreat looks less flashy than the old house, but it clearly posses charm and extra touches like light bulbs will create a romantic feel.
There is still scaffolding in place and it appears a balcony is being built off one of the six bedrooms.
The villa is situated in the middle of lush greenery and at the foot of a large hill.
