The sixth series of Love Island began broadcasting on 12 January 2020, on ITV2.[1] The series was announced on 24 July 2019, when it was confirmed that two seasons would air in 2020, and this is also the first winter edition of the seasons.[2][3] Unlike the summer edition, the luxury villa is located in Cape Town. This series is also the first to be hosted by Laura Whitmore, who has taken over from Caroline Flack.[4][5] The series is narrated by Iain Stirling.
On 15 February 2020, following the death of former presenter Caroline Flack, the Unseen Bits episode due to air that day was not broadcast; but was made available on the ITV Hub. The regular episode did not air the following day either. The show returned on 17 February with a tribute to Flack. On the same day, ITV2 confirmed that the companion series Love Island: Aftersun, which was set to air after that episode's main show, would not be broadcast.[6] A further tribute to Flack aired during the final on 23 February, which featured a compilation of her time throughout her five series as host.[7]
On 23 February 2020, the series was won by Finn Tapp and Paige Turley, who received 44.52% of the final vote.[8] Siânnise Fudge and Luke Trotman finished as runners-up with 43.61% of the vote, making it the closest voting percentage between the final two couples ever with less than 1% between them.[8]
Musician Sean Paul makes an appearance in the Villa during the season.[9]
Production
The first 10-second trailer for the series aired on 2 December 2019, featured the tagline "Do one, winter." It was then followed by a full-length trailer that used the song "Lose Control" by Meduza, Becky Hill & Goodboys which was released on 6 December 2019, and featured Caroline Flack.[10] On 17 December 2019, Flack announced that she would be standing down as host following allegations of assault against her boyfriend.[4] On 20 December, it was announced that fellow TV presenter Laura Whitmore would be her replacement.[11] She also took on the role of presenting Love Island: Aftersun, which for the first time aired every Monday after the main show rather than its usual Sunday slot.[12]
Villa
For the first winter edition of the show, the Islanders will stay at the Midden Cottage, located in the "ultra-wealthy" Constantia suburb of Cape Town.[13]
Islanders
The Islanders for the sixth series were released on 6 January 2020, just six days before the launch.[14] These include Eve and Jess Gale, who are the second set of twins to compete in the show following John and Tony Alberti in 2015.[15] The series was won by Finn Tapp and Paige Turley.
