2020 Winter Love Island? All You Need To Know
The wait for the most anticipated summer reality show is almost over, as ITV has announced that winter Love Island is on its way. Less than six months since the reveal of Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea's victory in the summer series of Love Island 2019, the nation is preparing for six weeks of heads being turned, getting pied, girl code and grafting.
Starting on the 12th January 2020, twelve fresh influencers and Instagrammers will enter a brand new winter Love Island villa in sunny Cape Town and begin their mission to find love. Between cracking on and laying it on factor 50, the islanders will also have to watch out for the of the brand new host, Laura Whitmore as she throws comical and bizarre challenges their way along with shock dumpings and new islanders.
The 2020 Winter Line-Up
Following on from the announcement of the winter line up, it’s looking like it’s going to be the most eventful Love Island season yet! Here’s a sneak peek into the faces we can expect to see in the Cape Town villa.
Eve & Jess Gale
In the six years of the TV series, we haven’t seen any siblings compete against each other in the Love Island villa. This is all about to change as we see twins Eve and Jess join the cast of this year's original islanders. The 20-year-old sisters, students and VIP hostesses hope to bring all the fun to the show and aren’t afraid to shake things up.
Sophie Piper
Easygoing, confident and extremely similar looking to her sister Rochelle Humes, Sophie Piper has also been announced to be part of the original cast. The 21-year-old, who is in medical PR, hopes to find love on the island with someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Unlike other guests on the show, Sophie doesn't like cheesy pick-up lines.
