Love Island has edited out sex scenes since 2020, meaning fans have never truly known whether a couple has gone all the way or not.
But this summer, that is set to change.
Mike Spencer, Love Island’s executive producer, has told The Mirror: “If sex happens, we’ll show it. The Hideaway will be open 24 hours.”
He added: “We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive.”
This will be the first time in five years that X-rated scenes will be aired during episodes of the ITV2 reality show.
But speaking in 2020, Love Island narrator Iain Stirling confirmed that bosses had decided to censor sex scenes going forward.
Iain told Vice that having sex on TV was “done” and said some former contestants had lived to regret their very public actions.
He told the publication: “I think there might be a bit less s******g on TV this year, because they know it’ll be on television.
“But I actually think there might well be s******g, They’re beautiful young people in a luxury villa – there probably will be some s******g.
“Sometimes it’s important for the narrative, but you can tell that story through the conversations afterwards.
“It’s not a moral question – if anything, that’s less of an issue now, because people coming on are so aware of what happens with the footage from the villa.
“What I don’t know is if we’ll show it. It’s done now – people have shagged on TV. We broadcasted it before because it was an interesting thing to show and deal with. Now, having sex on telly? It’s done.”
This year’s Love Island kicks off on Monday but there has already been chaos among the line-up.
2022 –Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu’s time in the villa was anything but a smooth ride, but they managed to win the public’s hearts – and the ITV2 reality show. STATUS: Broken up.
2018 – It wasn’t surprising fan favourites Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer won the show, as they were strong throughout. But sadly things didn’t last. STATUS: Broken up.
2016 – Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde were together from the start of the series, and since they won the show they’ve had two kids and are married. STATUS: Still together.
Dejon had spoken to cops alongside Kettering FC footballer Harlain Mbayo, who was ordered to carry out a community resolution, which can involve an apology or compensation.
ITVwas aware of the incident with Dejon when he secured his place on thedatingshow, a spokesman confirmed.

The law could see users required to enter credit card details or other forms of official ID to verify their age.
Aylo also runs other popular porn sites such as Youporn and RedTube – which will also now be unavailable in France.
The company argues that device-based age verification is a better solution than requiring porn sites to police the age of users.
Aylo’s VP for Brand and Community Alex Kekesi said: “All it requires is that the government enforce regulations on three companies – Apple, Google and Microsoft – the three operating system manufacturers requiring age verification at the device level prior to accessing adult content.
“The French government refuses to take this simple step and instead are focused on futile and entirely symbolic regulatory actions which are unenforceable, do not protect children and expose your private data.”
Pornhub is the world’s most visited porn site, with France being one of its biggest markets.
The website claims that France was its second biggest audience in 2024 after the United States.
Kekesi added: “We’ve made the difficult decision to suspend access to our sites in France and instead use our platforms to speak directly to the French people.
“French citizens deserve a government and a regulator who are serious about preventing children from accessing adult content.
“They also deserve laws which protect their privacy and safeguard their sensitive data.”

French Gender Equality Minister Aurore Bergé posted on X that Aylo’s decision meant there would be “less violent, degrading and humiliating content accessible to minors in France”.
She added: “Pornhub, Youporn, and RedTube refuse to comply with our legal framework and decide to leave. Good!”
It comes after Aylo made similar moves to block access to its porn sites in several US states over age verification laws.

The bans cover around one third of the US population.
Methods of checking under these laws can include providing a government-issued ID or even scanning a user’s face.
It has seen many porn sites opt to block access to their pages rather than implement such verification systems.
States that have implemented these laws include Texas, Florida, Arizona and Virginia.
The European Commission has also launched an investigation into several adult websites – including Pornhub – over accusations they had not complied with regulations aimed at stopping minors accessing porn.
The UK also has a law requiring platforms to have “robust” age checks in place by July.
It is currently unclear whether the same porn platforms will also block access to their sites in Britain when this comes into force.

So if you’re planning a pint at a Spoons, it’s worth popping in nearby pubs to see if you’re settling in at the cheapest.
Choose your day – Each night the pub chain runs certain food theme nights.
For instance, every Thursday night is curry club, where diners can get a main meal and a drink for a set price cheaper than usual.
Pick-up vouchers – Students can often pick up voucher books in
their local near universities, which offer discounts on food and drink, so keep your eyes peeled.
Get appy – The Wetherspoons app allows you to order and pay for your drink and food from your table – but you don’t need to be in the pub to use it.
Taking full advantage of this, cheeky customers have used social media to ask their friends and family to order them drinks. The app is free to download on the App Store or Google Play.
Check the date – Every year, Spoons holds its Tax Equality Day to highlight the benefits of a permanently reduced tax bill for the pub industry.
It usually takes place in September, and last year it fell on Thursday, September 14.
As well as its 12-day Real Ale Festival every Autumn, Wetherspoons also holds a Spring Festival.

THIS is the wild moment all hell breaks loose after Morrisons shopper launches items at customers at self-checkout desks.
The dramatic footage depicting staff breaking up the brawl, was captured inside an Eccles store, in Salford, Manchester, on June 3.
The customer throws her items at a fellow shopperThe women fall to the ground as members of the public try to pull them off each otherMorrisons staff desperately try to intervene
It shows a woman hurling items in her basket through the air in front of horrified onlookers.
Someone can be heard yelling “you stupid b****” as the irate shopper continues to throw products.
Concerned Morrisons staff attempt to jump in and diffuse the situation with help from security guards.
But the disturbing scene escalates after the woman kicks another customer, throwing her to the floor.
She continues launching her attack while her victim lays on the ground.
When the woman sets her sights on another shopper she is finally apprehended by members of the public.
One even appears to kick her while she’s held restrained.
The footage cuts off as those involved fall over and brawl on the floor.
One customer, who caught the shocking scene on camera, told the M.EN: “To be honest, I am not too sure what set her off. She just started screaming and throwing things.
“Then she got out of her chair and attacked a poor woman who only came in for a balloon.”
Another witness alleged the aggressor even tried attacking police officers who arrived.
Greater Manchester Police were called to the store at around 6.15pm.
They arrested one woman at the scene on suspicion of assault and assaulting a police officer.
A Morrisons spokesperson declined to comment.
This comes as other shocking scenes across the country have been caught on camera.
Concerning footage showed the man riding in a cycle lane on Springfield Road, in west Belfast, with the youngster on his back.
The child, who didn’t appear to be wearing a helmet or any protection padding, was riding piggyback style.
At one point the little one, donning a short sleeved red top and beige shorts, flung their legs out to the side – barely clinging on as they gripped the man’s neck.

WITH wedding season in full swing, deciding what outfit to wear as a guest isn’t always the easiest of shopping tasks.
Not only is there so much choice out there, but some dresses can cost a fortune.
And that’s an added cost on top of actually attending the wedding itself.
Luckily the high street is full of options that don’t have to break the bank and will still make you look and feel amazing.
From feathered one shouldered gowns, to tummy flattering ruching and dresses to accommodate a fuller bust, Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale has scoured the shops to bring you ten of the best dresses all for under £50.

Empire line dresses are super flattering and look great on those with a fuller bust.
Not only does this New Look dress plunge into a v-neckline, but the lining underneath the bust will hold shape, before flowing over the rest of your body.
This pretty check floral pattern is soft and romantic, plus it has a cut out detail at the back, but it’s high enough that you can still wear a bra – result.
Ruching is a great technique that looks great and flatters all, especially in areas you may feel more self conscious of.
This H&M dress keeps you cinched in at the waist with its stretchy fabric, the asymmetric element gives Grecian vibes with the gold clasp on the shoulder making this dress look a lot more expensive than its £22.99 price tag.
This is certainly a dress that you’d be comfortable in all day long.
Nothing screams glam quite like a one shouldered cape dress with a feathered cuff.
And for under £50 – practically unheard of.
This dress from Zara really brings the wow factor and if you’re after something that is lightweight, airy and most importantly comfortable for the day, then this ticks all the boxes.
Pale yellow is one of the big colours for the season, so why not hop on board the trend for just £25.
The twist front around the bust area makes this a great option for everyone no matter what size you are and the tie straps also make a nice additional detail.
The dress is made from a stretchy ribbed fabric, meaning it won’t cling where you don’t want it to.
Wrap style dresses are always a fail safe flattering option for all and this dress from River Island is a new take on the look.
The fabric gathers together at one side, giving the illusion of a wrap dress and the bardot sleeves are also a great way of showing your decolletage and having some of your arm covered if you wish.
This puff sleeve floral dress from Next is a great option for a wedding.
As well as the classic navy floral pattern it also comes in a polka dot and a red.
The puff sleeves and empire line detail elevate the dress and also make it flattering at the same time.
A great way to decide what colours to accessorise with is to pick them out from the dress and with plenty of other colours in this look you’ll be spoilt for choice.
F&F at Tesco has not only launched online recently, meaning you no longer can only shop in store, but it’s new rage of occasion wear will make you feel like a million dollars.
This particular dress is just £29.50, with ruffle capped sleeves and that empire line cut.
If you’re looking for a long sleeve maxi dress then this one from Boohoo could be for you.
Not only is it a fun vibrant colour perfect for summer, but the elasticated waist panel in the middle makes this dress extra comfy and gives you some wiggle room.
Having the elastic in the middle then means the dress fans out and flows over the body to create a lovely shape.
What’s the best style that suits everyone?
ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there's a new style of dress that suits all body shapes.
Low-slung, dropped-waist silhouette styles have surged, thanks to the Noughties fashion trend that has swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street.
First seen on the runways of luxury labels Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically cinches around the hip and pelvic area rather than the waist.
Now a plethora of more affordable options of the dress that suits a number of body shapes have dropped just as the sun starts to come out.
Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor, said: “There’s something so stylish about these dresses, and I love them.
“The simplicity of the top half teamed with the full skirt is like a sleeker and more grown-up tutu.
“I have a short torso so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but, thankfully, the long skirt means your legs don’t look shorter.
“Plus it means I can tap into the low-waist trend without baring all in a pair of low-slung jeans.
“I know I’ll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunnies, but for now all I need is a blazer slipped over the top and a closed-toe shoe and I’m ready to go.”
Meanwhile, Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer, added: “I remember dropped-waist dresses from the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now!
“Forty years on from when they were first popular and I am not so sure they will be quite as flattering around my middle, because two kids and middle-aged spread later, my waist doesn’t exist any more.
“With a dress like this I can disguise my middle bit and still feel on trend for summer.”

ALDI is launching a blooming great bargain just in time for summer – Butterfly Lavender for only £3.79 each, in shades of purple, pink and white.
Available in stores across the UK, including in places like Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, from Thursday 12 June.
Butterfly Lavender, also known as French Lavender, is loved for its frilly blooms and aromatic leaves
Not only will it brighten up your garden, but it’ll also fill the air with a sweet scent for months and attract buzzing bees.
Butterfly Lavender, also known as French Lavender, is loved for its frilly blooms and aromatic leaves.
It flowers from late spring right through summer and even into autumn if looked after properly.
It will go dormant in winter, and return bigger and bushier next year if maintained properly.
How to care for lavender
To get the most out of your lavender, plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
Once it’s settled in, it won’t need much watering – in fact, it prefers to stay on the dry side.
French lavender typically flowers from late spring into early autumn, with a peak bloom period between May and September.
Some varieties, like Lavandula stoechas ‘Papillon’ and ‘Tiara’, are known for their continuous flowering from late spring to early autumn.
After French lavender flowers, you should trim the spent flower stalks to encourage more blooms and keep the plant compact.
You can also prune the plant back in late summer or early spring to rejuvenate it and prevent it from becoming woody.
French lavender is a versatile herb with various culinary and creative applications.
Beyond its beautiful scent and visual appeal, it can be used for baking, creating bath products, making essential oils, and even crafting home decor items like sachets or potpourri.
And Aldi’s plant is a bargain! A quick check at B&Q shows similar lavender plants starting at £12.
The 5 best flowers to help bees to thrive
Nature experts at Faith In Nature have shared the 5 best flowers Brits can plant in their gardens to help bees thrive.
Rebecca Miller, Fabulous’ Associate Editor and keen gardener explains why “bees are brilliant”.
“They are vital. They pollinate our food and play a crucial role in our ecosystem. But climate change, the increasing use of pesticides and loss of habitat means bees are endangered. No matter how big your garden or outside space is, you can plant a flower or two to help bees.”
Lavender
Lavender can thrive in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. It’s fragrant and flowers all-summer-long meaning it’s a big hit with bees – especially bumble bees.
Sunflowers
This cheery flower giant are bee-magnets. And if you look closely at a sunflower head, the big ‘flowers’ are actually a cluster of small flowers, called an inflorescence which attract pollinators.
Ideally, grow sunflowers in groups to provide nectar and pollen for as many bees as possible. At the end of summer, collect the dried seeds from the sunflower heads to feed the birds or plant next year.
Heather
These abundant, bell-shaped blooms are brimming with nectar and pollen – which is good news for bees.
Cornflowers
A vivid blue wildflower, cornflowers are often planted alongside other meadow blooms, like ox-eye daisies and poppies.
They grow on tall stems and are packed with nectar, making them particularly attractive to bees. Cornflowers bloom for a long time and are simple to grow, so they’re perfect for first-time gardeners and experienced alike.
Crocuses (and snowdrops)
Later this summer, when you’re starting to plan for your Spring displays, consider crocuses and snowdrops.
They provide bees, such as the queen buff-tailed bumblebee and male hairy-footed flower bees, with vital early pollen as they emerge from their winter hibernation.
Over at Waitrose Garden and Hillier, prices range from £7.99 to £13.99, depending on the size and variety.
This is the latest in a string of green-fingered savings from ALDI.
Earlier this month, rival Lidl launched a range of garden plants starting from just £1.99, undercutting pricier garden centres and online sellers.
