Love Island bosses have reportedly banned filtered photos being submitted as part of the audition process for the new series. 'In 2019, the first episode aired on June 3, meaning Love Island will be over three weeks later this year due to current restrictions on overseas travel. 'Winter Love Island on the other hand has been 'indefinitely postponed' as bosses put all their energy until the summer series.' Paige Turley, 22, and Finley Tapp, 21, won the first winter Love Island series in 2020, weeks before the UK was plunged into national lockdown. The show, presented by Laura Whitmore, 35, wasn't as successful ratings-wise after the launch episode attracted 800,000 fewer viewers than the 2019 summer series.
