Caroline will host the CBB replacement Winter Love Island
 
Quote:

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!

Her carbon footprint is a disgrace tbh.

We don't want this

Greg! 23-07-2019 09:21 PM

Can ITV just buy CBB I miss ha :bawling:

RileyH 23-07-2019 09:21 PM

This is a bit tragic

Cal. 23-07-2019 09:24 PM

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

Jason. 23-07-2019 09:29 PM

This is gonna be the downfall.

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

Jason. 23-07-2019 09:38 PM

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 23-07-2019 09:41 PM

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

Here for it

Mitchell 23-07-2019 09:51 PM

This will be the start of the end tbh

Overkill.

Well, it's over

Greg! 23-07-2019 10:37 PM

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 23-07-2019 10:42 PM

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.

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

Ant. 23-07-2019 11:18 PM

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 24-07-2019 07:02 AM

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 24-07-2019 07:51 AM

A double dose of LI
 
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 24-07-2019 08:11 AM

...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...

user104658 24-07-2019 08:57 AM

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 24-07-2019 09:01 AM

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 24-07-2019 09:04 AM

I just don't get Love Island.

Greg! 24-07-2019 09:18 AM

It's only for thirsty people really.

bots 24-07-2019 09:45 AM

Natalie. 24-07-2019 10:03 AM

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