We now live in a world where Love Island is a BAFTA winning show, so keep that factoid in your back pocket when someone is judging you for watching it this summer. The hugely popular series sees a bunch of really, really good looking men and women head off to an island in the sun looking for love and well, the top prize, which is given to the public's favourite couple at the end of the series.
While this year the show is set to have lesbian and gay contestants from the very start for the first time, show bosses have said that they are considering an LGBTQ version of the series.
When asked backstage at the BAFTA TV Awards whether fans would ever see same-sex couples on the series, producer Richard Cowles told Digital Spy: "We've had bisexual people in the show - for a dating show, you need everyone to fancy everyone, so if you have gay and heterosexual in the same place, they're not going to fancy each other."
"We'd have a dedicated show [for that]... absolutely we'd consider two series a year."
Cowles also spoke about the summer's much anticipated new series and answered whether anyone can expect any twists this year: "We've always got things up our sleeves, but the show is written as it goes along."
"So everyone is reacting to what's happening on and then the format is being written as it happens... whatever we have planned, (they) get ripped up pretty much every hour as the cast goes in.
"Everything we predicted hasn't happened and whatever is happening is more exciting than we predicted. We just go for it."
Love Island 2018 does not yet have an air date but it's set to be the show's longest series yet running for eight weeks.
