The singletons will be heading out to a new house this year

With the new series of Love Island launching next week, ITV has treated fans to a sneak peek at the brand new villa where the drama will unfold this year.

It was announced earlier this month that the show would be taking place in a new location, but producers had remained tight-lipped as to specific details about the new love-nest.

This year the villa looks set to be more luxurious than ever, with the photos showing a converted farmhouse set in lush countryside surroundings, complete with an infinity pool and hot tub.

The hideaway – which was the catalyst for much of last year’s drama (Kady kicking off, Alex and Zara’s scandalous night of love etc etc) will be back, and the housemates will once again all be sharing a room, which surely means more of those controversial bedroom scenes.

There’s also a gym and beauty station to help keep the contestants looking buff and beautiful at all times.

Earlier this week, ITV announced the first batch off contestants jetting off to the island, including an alleged former flame of Prince Harry’s and an ex member of Blazin’ Squad.

However, the show has already faced accusations of being fixed after new contestants Camilla Thurlowe and Chloe Crowhurst revealed they had never put themselves forward to appear in the show but instead were approached by a PR company.

The dating show also faces a launch night ratings battle, with the new series of Big Brother kicking off on Channel 5 at the same time.

Love Island series three begins on June 5 at 9pm on ITV.
