ITV Love Island to show sex scenes as Islanders are divided over villa's new twist

Grab your sun cream, it's about to get torrid in Love Island as the sizzling dating show promises more risqué entertainment than ever before. Celebrating a decade of steamy liaisons and romantic escapades, ITV's hit series is bringing sexuality to the forefront - quite literally on the table.

In a surprising reveal during an exclusive tour of the villa, Executive Producer Mike Spencer let slip the titillating plans: "If sex happens, we'll show it. The Hideaway will be open 24 hours."

This new season bids farewell to coy bedtime antics; instead, the cameras are set to capture every pulse-racing moment, with Mike emphasizing the necessity for innovation: "We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive. We the producers need to stay ahead of the curve. The whole 'twists and turns' thing is about making the show fresh. We're going to give it all we've got."

It seems viewers are in for an unabashed treat.

Returning host Maya Jama playfully chided past contestants for neglecting the anytime-access to the Hideaway, stating: "I feel like they forgot last year that you could come in the Hideaway at any time. We did tell them, but they kept forgetting!" That oversight certainly won't repeat this year, reports the Mirror.

The latest crop of love-seeking singles are bracing for this bold exposé. Among them, Megan Moore, known as Meg, a 25 year old payroll ace from Southampton, confided her take on the provocative format: "It's not ideal to be having it on telly, but you don't know because you're in that bubble. If it comes naturally, then it happens. You can't ever never say never."

Sophie Lee, a 29 year old Mancunian fire breather turned influencer and motivational speaker, is steadfast in her personal life choices: "I am celibate. I've practiced celibacy throughout my dating life. It'll take a really hot guy to change that! For me, intimacy is giving a piece of my soul. If I'm not in a confident place, it's a me problem - not his.

"I've gone over 8 months celibate now, I was two years celibate before, and I'm proud of that. I only want to have sex when I truly want to - not out of pressure."

Meanwhile, Meg is ready to ditch the daily grind for a summer full of sizzle as she enters Love Island in pursuit of Cupid's arrow.

Meg exudes confidence and camaraderie, describing herself as a "girl's girl" with a generous heart and already stirring interest even before her villa debut. She promises a genuine, slightly disordered charm and is determined to prove she's "not your typical Islander."

Her nurturing "mum of the group" vibes might just be the tonic for the villa.

Speaking of her sentiments about joining the reality show fray, Meg shared, "I thought I'd be more nervous, but I actually feel really chilled. Now it's getting real, and I'm so excited."

In an era where image can be everything, Meg has chosen to stay true to her roots—with the exception of her luscious new hair extensions. "I'm not someone who does loads of filler. I had a bit two years ago, but that's it," she disclosed.

On matters of the heart, Meg isn’t shy to make bold moves. "If I want a man, I'll go for it. Don't hate the player, hate the game," she quipped with a laugh.

Meg's romantic history?

"A bit of a shambles," she confesses, attributing poor hygiene in past relationships as a significant turn-off. Now, she's ready for a boyfriend - and perhaps a touch of drama.

While Meg is bringing the heat, Sophie is no stranger to it either. After enduring life-altering burns at the age of 22, the model is transforming that traumatic experience into her superpower.

"Body confidence has been a journey," she elaborates. "That's why I declined the show previously-I wasn't prepared. I still had inner work to do. Now, I'm in a position where I feel confident, beautiful, and proud. Beauty isn't just about your appearance. You could wear a bin bag and feel beautiful. For me, it's about how I feel inside. I'm at a point where I can handle rejection and understand that if something's not for me, that's okay."
