A new Love Island style series with a twist is set to come to our screens soon.
According to The Sun, bosses want a more mature edition of the hit dating show, featuring older singletons with “normal bodies”.
The show will see men and women in their 40s and 50s go on a retreat and be “coupled up” behind the scenes by their kids.
Filming for the show, with its working title ‘Your Mum, My Dad’, will reportedly start later this year ahead of a hoped-for screening in 2023.
A TV source told the publication: “Times change and the current generation in their 40s and 50s still care about how they look, are fit and healthy, into fashion and are ready to let their hair down.”
“This show will give those who settled down young a second chance at love while they still feel in their prime.”
“And, let’s face it, they know their minds, will be capable of intelligent conversation and are likely to be much more adventurous — all ingredients regular Love Island sometimes lacks.”
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two.
