While the health crisis has forced most TV shows to halt production, it is said to be “all systems go” with the planning of the ITV2 show’s summer series.
A source said:
‘The production team is now doing everything possible to prepare for the new series.
‘It’s a difficult time but it’s a case of “all systems go”. They’re determined not to let the virus stop the series going ahead’.
Producers are said to be using video calls to vet potential Islanders for the upcoming series.
The source added to the Daily Star Sunday newspaper:
‘Obviously they can’t have meetings or meet potential contestants.
‘But they’re finding ways of getting things done in a different way.
‘Lots of the casting process is being done via video calls’.

This comes after Luke Mabbott – who took part in the first-ever winter Love Island earlier this year, which was hosted by Laura Whitmore – has offered his home to NHS staff completely free of charge.
He is isolating at his brother’s house with his girlfriend and nephew, and so he’s offered his empty property to the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic.
Luke told his fans on Instagram:
‘Basically there’s no one living at my house so if you work for the NHS, if you are a nurse or a doctor, whatever, hit me up and we can work something out if you’re struggling for a place to stay.
‘I’ll pay for everything: water, gas, electricity and rent. You won’t have to worry about any of that.
‘It’s just a place for you to stay if you don’t want to give your family corona or just need a place to chill out’.
