But as the series returns on Monday, this year's islanders will have nowhere to hide. Show boss Mike Spencer-Hayter revealed: "The walls for the terrace are lower and more see-through so not as secret as before." "I think we just felt like it was a bit too covered up," he added. "You can't see it fully, it's still private. But I think lowering it and the kind of fretwork turns out good. Extra gossip." Previously, the terrace was connected through the girls' changing area, had high walls which were made taller thanks to decorative flower walls. However, those have been stripped back in this year's series, with a long terrace now in place, with lower walling and no extra decoration. It makes the view of the terrace that more clearer from the garden, where most of the islanders tend to spend their days. Over the course of the show, the terrace has delivered iconic moments, including Ekin-Su crawling across the floor in order to be completely obscured as she made her move on Jay Younger. The terrace is not the only part of Love Island that's getting a switch-up – with the team aiming for twists bigger and better than ever before, starting in the first week.

"It's not a celebrity. We've not seen it before.' He added that changes will be noticeable from the very start of the series. He said: 'There will be things happening for the first couple of days we've not done before and certainly in week one. During that week, there's something incredibly big we've never done before. 'Hopefully we can do it. It's quite experimental. I just think you can't rest on your laurels, being like, 'This is really popular.' 'We have to keep it exciting and tear up the rule book a bit.' Love Island starts Monday at 9pm on ITV, ITV2 and ITVX. 6 Ekin-Su famously crawled across the floor to avoid detection on the terrace 6 Islanders will have to get creative to find someone quiet for a smooch Credit: Rex
