Love Island’s Jessica Shears and Dominic Lever in talks over Newlyweds-type show documenting run-up to their wedding
LOVE Island’s Jessica Shears and Dominic Lever are in talks to star in a Newlyweds show – becoming the UK’s version of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.
The recently engaged couple are also to wed next summer, becoming the show’s first married couple having met in June.
They will pip series two pair Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen who have a date in September 2018 after getting engaged in December last year.
Now Jess, 23, and Dom, 26, are set to star in a new show documenting the run up to the big day, the Sun’s Bizarre column can reveal.
The show will be in a Newlyweds-style made famous in the noughties by singers Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson
A source said: “Jess and Dom couldn’t be happier right now.
“They’ve now got their date set and they’ll get married next summer.
“They’re currently in talks with telly bosses to star in a Newlyweds show in the run-up to the big day.
“TV chiefs are really keen to nab the ‘first Love Island wedding’ as it’s a guaranteed viewing hit.
“And by time it airs, Love Island fever will have struck the nation all over again following the next series.”
The pair put rumours of fellow islander Mike Thalassitis sleeping with Jess after leaving the ITV2 show behind them, and revealed they had got engaged earlier this week.
She revealed Manchester lad Dom had got down on one knee two weeks ago.
Jess said: "It happened the night before the TV Choice Awards. We were staying in a lovely apartment in London.
"Dom filled it with flowers and had got us a bottle of champagne. I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when Dom got down on one knee - he said afterwards that he had never seen me smile like that."
The pair revealed they would like to say ‘I do’ on foreign soil.

Devon born Jess said: "We'd like to do it abroad, either in the south of France or somewhere in Greece like Santorini.
"We don't want a big wedding, I only want our close friends and family there because, to me, that is what your wedding day is about."
And clearly going the whole hog, the couple have previously told the Sun they will try for a baby next year.
Dom said: “We are planning to have kids ASAP. Honestly I just want them now, I’m game.
“Jess keeps reminding me I’m almost 30 and need to be a dad soon.”
