Love Island 2019: FIRST LOOK at the villa ahead of show launch

It is the smash hit dating show which will launch its 2019 series in just five days time.

And Love Island fans have been given their first look at the Mallorcan villa which will house a troupe of sexy singletons over a long hot summer.

In new aerial photos from the site, the Spanish villa appears far from ready for the contestants’ arrivals with storage containers by the smoking area and a  line of blue shipping containers at the edge of the compound.

The Hideaway, which has been the scene for many steamy trysts for would-be couples over the years, is also notably absent – with the room located next to the living area on the 2018 series.

A large white wall, surrounded by smaller walls and an open air space is in its place, indicating work is still ongoing on the romantic room. 

The ITV2 show’s famous infinity pool is visible in the shots, with the fire pit, jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen clearly seen.

Day beds – the scene for many deep and meaningful chats between the Love Islanders – are also dotted around the pool.

This comes as the Love Island Jacuzzi is set to relocated into the hideaway in a bid to amp up the romance of the room.

Love Island boss Richard Cowles told The Sun: ‘The hot tub has moved.

‘The hot tub is now in The Hideaway – it wasn’t getting enough use.

‘Now islanders will be able to go on dates to The Hideaway and have a night in the hot tub.’    

 MailOnline has contacted a Love Island representative for comment.

The ITV2 show unveiled the first 12 contestants earlier this week, with Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy and Strictly star AJ Pritchard’s brother Curtis being among the new 2019 cast. 

Now, The Sun says producers have hatched a plan to bring in ‘bombshell arrivals’ to rile up the original contestants by appearing as the series goes on.  

Returning for its fifth season, the hopeful singles will aim to follow in the footsteps of 2018 winners Dani and Jack, despite their relationship now being over.  

Ahead of the launch show on Monday June 3, some of the new Islanders may already be recognisable to the public.

The fresh cohort of singletons boast links to famous faces, with the line-up including 2018 Islander Charlie Frederick’s ex-girlfriend Lucie Rose Donlan, TV personality Ellie Brown’s BFF Amber Rose Gill and Scottish reality star Anton Danyluk.

Die-hard Love Island fans may recognise one of the new contestants set to appear on the new series, as newbie Lucie, 21 – a professional surfer – hit headlines last year when she dated model Charlie, 23, who was an Islander on the 2018 series.   

The couple began dating a mere matter of weeks after Charlie was dumped from the island with his partner Hayley Hughes and attended many high profile events together.

Lucie, who also detailed she’s briefly spoken to former TOWIE star Joey Essex, shared: ‘The last guy I was with was Charlie from last year’s Love Island. We got together a few weeks after he came out of the villa.’  

Also among the new crop of Islanders this year is beauty therapist Amber, 21, who has not been shy of showing off her connections to the celeb social scene, as she is close pals with former Islanders Ellie and Adam Collard, and has enjoyed fun-filled nights out with Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan.

The honey-blonde bombshell, who currently has 4.4K followers on Instagram, will certainly turn heads in the villa with her incredibly-toned physique and stunning looks, which she often flaunts in sizzling social media snaps. 

Another new Islander who has had a brush with fame is gym owner Anton Danyluk, whose failed romance life has already been displayed to the masses as the 24-year-old appeared on internet-based series Glow, which aired for two seasons from 2016 till 2017.

During his stint on the show, which was Glasgow’s answer to The Only Way Is Essex, the fitness model and personal trainer often engaged in fiery arguments with former girlfriend Denise Wilkie, which even caused bar manager Denise to prematurely quit the second series.

Other new Islanders boasting celeb links are pharmacist Anna Vakili, 28, who has rubbed shoulders with Dan Bilzerian, and Aircraft Engineer Callum Macleod, also 28, who is a close pal of Welsh rugby player Josh Navidi.

This year’s edition of Love Island will also star scientist Yewande Biala, 23, catering company owner Joe Garratt, 22, bodybuilder Michael Griffiths, 27, cougar-loving rugby player Sherif Lanre, 20, and former Miss West Sussex Amy Hart, 26, whose grandparents famously splashed out £5,000 on a boob job operation to help boost her self-esteem back in 2014.
