Love Island has edited out sex scenes since 2020, meaning fans have never truly known whether a couple has gone all the way or not.
But this summer, that is set to change.
Mike Spencer, Love Island's executive producer, has told The Mirror: 'If sex happens, we'll show it. The Hideaway will be open 24 hours.'
He added: 'We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive."
This will be the first time in five years that X-rated scenes will be aired during episodes of the ITV2 reality show.
In the early days of Love Island, nothing was censored and fans were often given a full view of steamy bedroom antics.
This included Terry Walsh and Emma Jane's infamous romp on top of the covers in 2016 - and his very public display with Malin Andersson during the same series.
in 2016 after having sex on TV with Alex Bowen.
Meanwhile, the now-late Sophie Gradon, who tragically passed away in 2018, had sex with Tom Powell in a cupboard.
But speaking in 2020, Love Island narrator Iain Stirling confirmed that bosses had decided to censor sex scenes going forward.
Love Island 2025: Top villa snog spots
Iain told Vice that having sex on TV was "done" and said some former contestants had lived to regret their very public actions.
He told the publication: 'I think there might be a bit less s******g on TV this year, because they know it'll be on television.
"But I actually think there might well be s******g, They're beautiful young people in a luxury villa – there probably will be some s******g.
"Sometimes it's important for the narrative, but you can tell that story through the conversations afterwards.
"It's not a moral question – if anything, that's less of an issue now, because people coming on are so aware of what happens with the footage from the villa.
"What I don't know is if we'll show it. It's done now – people have shagged on TV. We broadcasted it before because it was an interesting thing to show and deal with. Now, having sex on telly? It's done."
This year's Love Island kicks off on Monday but there has already been chaos among the line-up.
Kyle Ashman, 23, was axed from the show before stepping in the villa after it emerged he had been arrested in connection with a machete attack.
