[Love Island bosses plan to launch new series
for 'people in their 40s and 50s with
real bodies' after viewers complained
about lack of diversity

After seven years of perfectly
toned twenty somethings gracing our
screens it's been reported ITV are launching
a brand new Love Island for
middle-aged singletons.

The dating show, which first aired
in 2015, will see older contestants
with 'real bodies' hoping for a
second chance at love.*

With a source telling The Sun more
mature islanders will likely bring
*'intelligent conversation' and a new
perspective to TV screens.

The men and women will live together,
much like the current format,
however will be coupled up behind
the scenes by their children and has
the working title of 'Your Mum, My Dad'.

A source went on to tell the
publication:*'Times change and the current
generation in their 40s and 50s
still care about how they look,
are fit and healthy, into fashion and are
ready to let their hair down.]

That would be Terrible

[bots]

the itv2 audience are young though, not interested in what their parents get up to romantically. It would be bolk material for most

[arista]

It will be Single Parents
looking for Love

[rusticgal]

I think it would be good…30-45 year olds

[user104658]

that's just what love island is though... People at 40+ "looking for love" are either going to be divorced, widowed or just somehow so truly awful that they've never been in a relationship at 40. Depressing stuff surely. Not that people shouldn't still be able to find love - but they should be doing it the "real" way I.e. Meeting and getting to know people naturally, not on a dating show.

What they could do is have a year of Love Island where tleveryine they get in is proper grown ups instead of silly little boys and girls - they have them up to 30 now, so one year where the oldest is 30 but the YOUNGEST is, say, 25, could be an interesting change. Higher chance that most of the people there would actually be genuinely looking to make connections and not just there for a larf.


In terms of having a show with more intelligent conversations and more diversity - isn't that why they're bringing back Big Brother?? I thought that was the whole point

[Alf]

I'm going in. I will walk it. I'll have them hanging off me.

[Alf]

I'll be coupled up with at least two birds at one time.

They will both bring me breakfast in bed and do my ironing for me.

Not half the show being Alf chatting some poor lady's ear off about British Sitcoms at 3am...

[Alf]

These youngsters are always making breakfast for the girls. We'd have none of that if I was in there.

The best way to a mans heart is through his stomach. Take note of that ladies.

They would be playing a tune on the flute at the time though.

[Alf]

Women like a real man, whom they can wait on hand and foot.

[Alf]

My bedtime highlights would have to be censored and only available on pornhub.

"looks like a High-pressure block coming in for the end of Jan" he tells Agnes

"why dont you go f** yourself old man" says Jan 43

[user104658]

To be fair if it was just a bunch of cynical old bastards and jaded divorced women it could be hilarious telly.

"Gonnae make me a cup of tea hen..."

"Aye that'll be right I'll jam this cup of tea right up your arse!"

Sheriff in the corner: "Wahaaayyyy he likes things up his arse doesn't he haw haw haw!!"

[Mystic Mock]

Basically the "real bodies" comment is they're looking for ugly mother****ers.

Seriously though it'll be a cast of MILF and DILFs.
