Sun\u2019s out, the Love Island 2022 line-up<\/a> has been announced and we\u2019ve got our first peek at the new villa where they\u2019ll be getting it on in just one week\u2019s time.<\/div>\n\n
Love Island executive producer Mike Spencer gave RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press a tour of the new space, which is replacing the show\u2019s home since season 3.<\/div>\n\n
It looks like ITV has gone bigger \u2013 and maybe even better \u2013 with the bedrooms being modelled to look like they did in the old seasons. Yes, that means bedrooms with beds opposite one another. Check them out below.<\/div>\n\n

\u201cThis is the biggest bedroom we\u2019ve had,\u201d Spencer said. \u201cSo basically the idea behind this was we wanted to take it back to what it used to be in the early series where they\u2019re opposite each other. So yeah, it has that because I think there\u2019s so much more banter when you\u2019re cross and going to bed at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though the pool is a similar size as last year\u2019s, the actual space around it is bigger than in the previous villa, which will give the islanders plenty of nooks to be pulled into for chats. Spencer confirmed this, saying they\u2019ve got more \u201cchill areas\u201d this season.<\/p>\n

And, if you were wondering whether the new villa means the iconic fire pit is gone, don\u2019t despair. A brand new fire pit has been built for the season, complete with colourful cactus and plenty of seating room for all the drama to unfold in comfort.<\/div>\n\n

The girls will be happy to hear the make-up room has expanded also.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year there was a circular table of four seats for eight girls \u2013 at least now you\u2019ve got six seats,\u201d Spencer explained. \u201cAlso this year we\u2019ve got a really big space in the bedroom with a sofa and they\u2019ve got more storage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The beauty products themselves have been custom-picked for each contestant, Spencer added, to ensure they work for their skin types.<\/p>\n

Spencer also added how they had catered the space to be inclusive of its first ever deaf contestant, model Tasha Ghouri<\/a>, who wears a cochlear implant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got provisions in terms of swimming, and we\u2019re just working with her,\u201d he said.<\/p>

We also got a glimpse at the kitchen, where the islanders will be making breakfast and snacks \u2013 though dinner is provided and catered for off site.<\/p>\n

So, what do the contestants have to choose from to start their day? \u201cThere\u2019s bacon, fresh fruit for smoothies,\u201d he said, which all \u201ccome in off camera\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll probably just pull a fold-up table here (inside the kitchen) we basically get all their dietary requirements and do a big buffet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
