Love Island 2018: The ITV2 show might be getting a winter series ahead of summer return

Muggy behaviour but less muggy weather

Still from this years show (ITV/Rex)

Breaking Bad couldn't resist a prequel; Game of Thrones couldn't resist a spin-off; will Love Island (yes, I'm talking about these three shows in the same breath) make it to summer 2018 without airing a between series series?

Given what a huge success and national talking point it was for ITV2, a bi-annual edition of Love Island must have crossed their minds, and indeed it seems like the broadcaster is tempted.

2017 contestant Chloe Crowhurst told MailOnline of her recent TV stints: "I love doing This Morning and they loved having me. There might be something with me coming back as their reporter for Winter Love Island."

She then added, perhaps optimistically: 'I'd love to be a presenter on the Winter Love Island series as well - which might work out."

What a winter version of the show would look like is unclear. Would it head to a part of the southern hemisphere where it's warm in December? Or would it be more a Love Cabin? Would there be Christmas, with giant condoms serving as stockings?

We've reached out to ITV for comment.
