Presenter:Laura Whitmore
Num Days:44
Winner:Finn Tapp and Paige Turley
Network:ITV2
Num Episodes:36

The sixth series of Love Island began broadcasting on 12 January 2020, on ITV2.[1] The series was announced on 24 July 2019, when it was confirmed that two seasons would air in 2020, and this is also the first winter edition of the seasons.[2] [3] Unlike the summer edition, the luxury villa is located in Cape Town. This series is also the first to be hosted by Laura Whitmore, who has taken over from Caroline Flack.[4] [5] The series is narrated by Iain Stirling.

On 15 February 2020, following the death of former presenter Caroline Flack, the Unseen Bits episode due to air that day was not broadcast; but was made available on the ITV Hub. The regular episode did not air the following day either. The show returned on 17 February with a tribute to Flack. On the same day, ITV2 confirmed that the companion series Love Island: Aftersun, which was set to air after that episode's main show, would not be broadcast.[6] A further tribute to Flack aired during the final on 23 February, which featured a compilation of her time throughout her five series as host.[7]

On 23 February 2020, the series was won by Finn Tapp and Paige Turley, who received 44.52% of the final vote.[8] Siânnise Fudge and Luke Trotman finished as runners-up with 43.61% of the vote, making it the closest voting percentage between the final two couples ever with less than 1% between them.

Musician Sean Paul makes an appearance in the Villa during the season.[9]

Production

The first 10-second trailer for the series aired on 2 December 2019, featured the tagline "Do one, winter." It was then followed by a full-length trailer that used the song "Lose Control" by Meduza, Becky Hill & Goodboys which was released on 6 December 2019, and featured Caroline Flack.[10] On 17 December 2019, Flack announced that she would be standing down as host following allegations of assault against her boyfriend.[4] On 20 December, it was announced that fellow TV presenter Laura Whitmore would be her replacement.[11] She also took on the role of presenting Love Island: Aftersun, which for the first time aired every Monday after the main show rather than its usual Sunday slot.[12]

Villa

For the first winter edition of the show, the Islanders will stay at the Midden Cottage, located in the "ultra-wealthy" Constantia suburb of Cape Town.[13]

Islanders

The Islanders for the sixth series were released on 6 January 2020, just six days before the launch.[14] These include Eve and Jess Gale, who are the second set of twins to compete in the show following John and Tony Alberti in 2015.[15] The series was won by Finn Tapp and Paige Turley.

Coupling
  • On Day 26, the original Islanders were told that they would be re-coupling. They were only given the option to remain in their current couple or to choose one of the new Islanders. However, as the boys and the girls were living in separate villas, they were not aware of what the other one chose. If one decided to re-couple and the other did not, then they would be single but still remain on the island. If both re-coupled then they would both remain in the villa with their new partner, and any remaining single new islanders would be dumped. Already single, islanders Rebecca and Mike chose to couple up with Jordan and Priscilla respectively. Finn and Paige, and Luke T and Siânnise remained together. Callum picked Molly, Jess chose Ched, Luke M coupled up with Natalia, and Nas went with Eva. As Demi and Shaughna's original partners failed to recouple with them, they were now single. The new single islanders were then dumped from the villa.

As Jess and Luke M, Rebecca and Wallace, Siânnise and Luke T, Sophie and Mike all received votes, they went head-to-head with each other in a public vote to save. It was then revealed that Rebecca and Wallace, and Sophie and Mike had received the fewest and were therefore at risk. It was then up to the safe islanders to decide which one from each at risk couple to dump. They chose Sophie and Wallace.

  • On Day 31, the islanders competed in "Rumpy Pumpy" where islanders competed against each other to pump up balloons with their bodies and answer a sexy question. The Blue team won which consisted of Callum, Ched, Luke M, Paige, Priscilla, Shaughna and Siânnise.

Dates

  • On Day 38, following the islanders voted for the two least compatible couples the previous day, Demi and Luke M, Jess and Ched, Molly and Callum, Natalia and Jamie, and Priscilla and Mike who all received votes went head-to-head with each other in a public vote to save. It was then revealed that having received the fewest votes, Natalia and Jamie had been dumped. Molly and Callum, and Mike and Priscilla were also still at risk, and it was up to the safe islanders to decide which couple to save. They ultimately chose to dump Molly and Callum.
  • On Day 41, the public voted for their favourite couple. Mike and Priscilla received the fewest votes and were therefore dumped from the villa.

Ratings

Official ratings are taken from BARB and include ITV2 +1.[48] Catch-up service totals are added to the official ratings.[49] Because the Saturday episodes are weekly catch-up episodes rather than nightly highlights, these are not included in the overall averages. The week 6 Sunday episode did not air due to the passing of former host Caroline Flack.

Controversy

Viewers called for contestant Ollie Williams to be axed after pictures were obtained by The Sun showing him posing next to animal corpses from endangered species in South Africa. A representative of Williams claimed he is a "conservationist and worked with an anti-poaching unit in Mozambique" culling sick animals, while Metro reported Williams is the director of Cornish Sporting Agency, a hunting business. In since-deleted images on his social media, Williams posed with dead animals alongside his clients. A Change.org petition was started to remove Williams from the series.[50] [51] Regulator Ofcom received 272 complaints after the first airing, 231 of which regarding Williams inclusion on the show.[52]
