LOVE Island bosses are planning a huge twist this series to keep Islanders on their toes.
Next week, ten singletons are heading into the villa in South Africa and while they might think they know what to expect, they could be in for a big surprise.
A TV insider said: “Love Island bosses are always thinking of new ways to keep the Islanders and viewers captivated and this year they have really pulled it out the bag.
“Everything is being kept really hush hush but it’s like nothing anyone has seen before.
“Fans thought an older Islander could be headed back in again, but it’s not going to be that.
“Let’s just say no one can get too comfortable this series.”
