Caroline will host the CBB replacement Winter Love Island

[Cal.]

CAROLINE Flack will host ITV2's Winter Love Island when it launches next January.

The telly presenter, 39, will front the first ever in sunny South Africa.

Like the summer version she’ll jet back and forth for the duration, which kicks off next January and is rumoured to be six weeks long.

She wants to keep her projects going in the UK and look after her beloved French bulldog Ruby. It's no wonder Flack has a year-round tan.

A telly source said: “ITV bosses have been thrilled with the popularity of the show this year and enjoyed bumper viewing figures so it seemed like a no brainer to fill the January reality TV slot left by Celebrity Big Brother.

“Caroline is now synonymous with the show so it wouldn’t seem right to have anyone else hosting it. They’ll use the same production crew too so it should all run like clock work.”

A big mistake imo!

[Marsh.]

Her carbon footprint is a disgrace tbh.

[Greg!]

We don't want this

[Greg!]

Can ITV just buy CBB I miss ha :bawling:

[RileyH]

This is a bit tragic

[Cal.]

A ski lodge version with Maya Jama that got axed after one series would be less damaging for the brand!

[Jason.]

This is gonna be the downfall.

[Amy Jade]

A mistake. People will get sick of it like they did CBB

[Jason.]

Six weeks long :skull:

It'll finish in like late February and there'll only be a 3-month gap between the summer show. KEEP IT.

[Tony Montana]

If it ain't broke, don't ****ing fix it!

[Strictly Jake]

Here for it

[Mitchell]

This will be the start of the end tbh

[Wizard.]

Overkill.

[Ross.]

Well, it's over

[Greg!]

Why don’t they have a shorter LGBT version or something? Airing the exact same show twice a year is one of the reasons that BB/CBB died. People like variety!

[Mokka]

If I'm honest... I'm more likely to watch in the winter than summer. I was really into this series but summer life is to busy so I'm at least 8-10 episodes behind. Winter I just sit and knit to tv... or put it on in the kitchen while I bake. (Yeah I'm old !)
But it would mean I'll try less and less to watch a summer one

You need to catch up asap Mokka, it's been amazing.

[Ant.]

If this happened last year, Shipwrecked might've stood a chance </3

[Ant.]

It's really frightening to think of the impact Love Island has had. So many International versions are being announced and now we're getting two series a year?

If they want a Love Island in the winter then bring back the Celebrity version.

[Firewire]

The winter one should be an all stars series.

Although I don’t know if that would work, I don’t think most would do it again.

It’s overkill anyway.

[Kazanne]

On TV this morning for those interested Love Island will be on twice next year and shot in South Africa, I just hope they don't over do it and people get bored

[Ammi]

...they probably will overdo it...but with so many reality shows there’s something to be said of making the most of the shows popularity atm as it could have a very short shelf life...

[Toy Soldier]

Honestly I think it's probably an error. I'm fairly sure Big Brother would still be going right now if they'd kept it to once-a-year event television and I think if LI runs in January, people will be far less hyped for the summer series, and viewership will decline from there. A mis-step, IMO.

[Nicky91]

nah maybe one celebrity series for fun in january only to run for 1 or 2 weeks, also they could have celebs with their own charities, they could do it a bit differently than the civilian main LI series honestly


and the real main event being civilian LI in summer which lasts quite throughout most of summer


:think:

[Livia]

I just don't get Love Island.

[Greg!]

Already a thread

This has been confirmed:

[LaLaLand]

Can we have a senior series? Age 50+ :love:

[Nicky91]

you can have The Voice UK Senior if you want, that's Age 60+

[Calderyon]

I just don't get Love Island.

It's only for thirsty people really.

[bots]

i thought the thread said a double dose of LT which would be impossible for anyone to cope with :omgno:

[Natalie.]

I'm pleased about this news, something to watch now no CBB

[thisisdanny]

Trash

[Livia]

It's only for thirsty people really.

Maybe we could liven it up... set a psychopath loose on the island with live ammo and watch all the Kens and Barbies try to make a plan... now that I would watch.

I thought that too LOL.... I thought, what the **** have we done to deserve that?

seems like a idea for a Syfy channel sort of B-Movie ;)

[Strictly Jake]

Flippin heck they dishing them out as often as that bloke that hosts strictly tibb dancing or whatever its called!

[Trouble1321075]

You all should give the American version a go. It started a little slow but they are really mixing things up now. The show is heating up.

Yeah but the difference is, everyone loves that!

[Headie]

They should use the SOTF format for the winter series and have ex islanders/All Stars instead.

This would be fab

Not everyone. But my best friends on here do :hee:

[LukeB]

Apparently this means the summer version will also be 6 weeks instead of 8.

[MB.]

That's a silver lining tbh

[Morgan.]

This would be better if it was going to be in a wintery location because at least then it’s not watching hot people frolick in swimwear for 6 weeks again. If it was at least in a different climate there’d be just a different feel to it which I think is needed.

And like you don’t have to go all BB: Panto winter (although that wouldn’t be that bad) but idk just a wintery feel would be better.

the girlies to wear their boyfriends' hoodies while they sip toffee nut lattes round the fireplace (the replacement fire pit!) reading texts?

[Ant.]

(lmao at BB: Panto being mentioned </3)

[Morgan.]

Ken mentioned this morning on TM the winter love island will be 4 weeks - not sure how much truth in it but

[Denver]

Tbh I dont think this series has dragged at all? It has felt like it's been the right length

[Ross.]

I honestly think this will be the beginning of the end for this show

[sleleen]

So many viral tweets today about Maya Jama hosting nnn

[Ross.]

Not our Caroline to get the treatment Maya got on The Circle

[Denver]

I guess the Circle is really the Hit RTV show huh?

[Greg!]

I will FUME if Caroline gets the Brian Dowling and Maya Jama treatment!

[MrTheMan]

It's actually quite depressing to think that people see this pointless winter series as a "replacement" for Celebrity Big Brother. For me, nothing can ever replace BB/CBB. The show is simply too iconic to be replaced it's irreplaceable.

Hopefully, this winter show will be the start of the decline of this tediously overrated and overhyped trashfest.

I mean CBB/BB has been dead for years and hasn't been taken seriously since Natasha Giggs left as the winner

Can’t wait!

But would love if the winter series was a celeb one

Poor Survival of the Fittest, taking their time slot and filming location
