Love Island 2025 to feature unfiltered sex scenes, ITV confirms The popular TV show will return to our screens on Monday, June 9 This series will mark the dating show's 10th anniversary (Image: ITV ) Love Island is set to turn up the heat in unprecedented ways this year. A decade on from its debut, full of flirtations and heart-to-hearts, ITV's beloved series returns with a bold twist: sex may well be broadcast for all to see. Executive producer Mike Spencer revealed the surprising change following an exclusive villa tour. He said: "If sex happens we'll show it. The Hideaway will be open 24 hours." This season promises unblinking cameras and unabashed action. Mike continued: "We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive. We, the producers, need to stay ahead of the curve. The whole 'twists and turns' thing is about making the show fresh. We're going to give it all we've got." Returning host Maya Jama brings her trademark flair and fierce attitude, adding: "I feel like they forgot last year that you could come in The Hideaway at any time. We did tell them but they kept forgetting." That's unlikely to be overlooked this time around. Megan Moore, 25, from Southampton (Image: Instagram @ ) Show contestant Megan Moore, a 25-year-old payroll specialist from Southampton, shared her thoughts with The Mirror about the change. She said: "It's not ideal to be having it on telly but you don't know because you're in that bubble. If it comes naturally then it happens. You can't ever say never."

I've practiced celibacy throughout my dating life. It'll take a really hot guy to change that. For me intimacy is giving a piece of my soul. If I'm not in a confident place it's a me problem – not his. "I've gone over eight months celibate now, I was two years celibate before, and I'm proud of that. I only want to have sex when I truly want to – not out of pressure."

Love Island's Megan Moore reveals why she really dropped out of last year's series - and insists she doesn't look up to ANY stars of the show
Megan Moore will be stepping into the Love Island villa on Monday and has revealed why she dropped out of last year's series. The payroll specialist, who goes by Meg, is one of the 12 new islanders to jet off to Mallorca and star in the newest instalment of the ITV show. Meg had applied for 2024's season but didn't end up entering the villa. Now, she has admitted she 'felt like I wouldn't really have fitted in'. The 25-year-old from Southampton continued living her normal life until she was approached again this year and thought, 'what have I got to lose?' She explained: 'So I applied and did a few Teams interviews or Zoom and then I went up to London, and obviously met the casting, had an interview with them.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Meg was then kept up to date with things about the show in a WhatsApp group where she would say who she 'fancied' and who her 'top three' would be. 'Then it just got to the point where I felt like I wouldn't really have fitted in, like I just didn't really think, yeah, we'd really get on with that person,' she admitted. 'So they always kept me in the loop and then it just all happened really quickly, to be honest,' Meg added. 'I didn't really think about it, I was still living my normal life. So then obviously, it come around again this year and then they said, 'Meg, would you go for it again?' And I was like, 'Well, nothing's changed',' she revealed. The new islander went on, 'We've been on no dates, I'm still single, so what have I got to lose?' This series marks the tenth anniversary of the ITV show and despite there being plenty of stars in the villa, Meg admitted she hasn't really 'looked up' to any of the previous islanders and celebrities. Instead, she feels like 'you just have to be you' and get to know others for who they really are. 'I think you take you for you, and I think that's what people need to do, and that's what I'll be doing anyway, because I don't think you should change for anyone,' she added. Meg explained: 'And when you say, look up to people like I look up to people in my family, I'll look up to my mum. 'She doesn't have a man, but that's the type of person I'd look up to, to have the same traits as her. So when it comes to celebrities and islanders, no, you just gotta be you.' Meg boasts a strong social media following and regularly posts photographs of her travels. She hopes to meet someone 'tall with a nice tan' who has a good fashion sense and a funny personality to match her own.

You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it WOULD MAYA HIER YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she'd hire me because I'm a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number. I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway. NAME: Ben Holbrough AGE: 23 FROM: Gloucester OCCUPATION: Private Hire Taxi driver WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

I feel like Northern people have much more banter than Southerners. If you look through my previous dating history, you'll see I clearly go for personality. You can pretty much laugh me into bed. WOULD MAYA HIER YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I would say hire but then quickly fire soon after. It would only be a temporary contract. NAME: Kyle Ashman AGE: 23 FROM: Stafford OCCUPATION: Water operative WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone that's fun, confident and just themselves. WOULD MAYA HIER YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I'd say I'd be hired. I just go with it, find something to compliment a girl on and go from there. NAME: Megan Moore AGE: 24 FROM: Dublin OCCUPATION: Musical theatre performer and energy broker WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they're not bad looking, that's always a plus. I love a boy that's a bit pasty, like Timothé e Chalamet. I don't mind scrawny, or a bit of a 'dad bod'. I'm 5ft1 so any height really. CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I've also done Panto. NAME: Blu Chegini AGE: 26 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Construction Project Manager WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way. WOULD MAYA HIER YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? She¿d fire me, but I¿ve got the charm to smooth things over with a girl.

Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE? Booming¿ but they¿re all frogs.

NAME: Harry Cooksley AGE: 30 FROM: Guildford OCCUPATION: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? The girl next door that makes me laugh and can hold eye contact with me. I don¿t think I¿d go for the most obvious girl, I like a real sweet girl. CLAIM TO FAME? I¿m the body double for Declan Rice. So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You¿ll never see my face, but you¿ll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing.
