'Love Island' producers are seeking bisexual contestants.
Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore
The reality TV show is set to return to screens this summer after the Covid-19 pandemic prevented filming last year and show bosses are hoping that "up to 40 percent" of the competitors will be attracted to both men and women.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: "'Love Island' has always been inclusive – the only criteria is that you’re over 18 and looking for love.
"But this is the first year that finding contestants with more fluid sexuality has been part of the briefing.
"The casting team have been doing their best to tick that box as they whittle down the pool of contestants to the final numbers.
“The advantage Love Island has over these shows is that the pairings are organic. No one puts them together, they choose each other.
“So there is the potential for genuine same-sex relationships.”
Laura Whitmore will return as host, while her husband Iain Stirling will once again provide the voiceover.
Filming is expected to begin in Majorca next month.
The insider said: "After a year without 'Love Island', the bosses are determined the show should come back with a bang.”
