Love Island ‘could be set in the UK’ as bosses consider ‘delaying’ new series amid coronavirus

By Peter White

As concern grows over the worldwide spread of COVID-19, commonly known as coronavirus, the entertainment and sports industries are taking proactive measures to keep themselves and their audiences safe from the virus, which can be fatal in extreme cases.

The new series of Love Island has been postponed until next year because of coronavirus.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancee Carrie Symonds announced the birth of a baby boy Wednesday morning, just days after Johnson returned to work after recovering from the new coronavirus disease. Johnson was reportedly present for the birth of his son at a hospital in London. A spokesman for the couple said both mother and child were doing well.

Love Island host Laura Whitmore has said she will “never be OK” with Caroline Flack’s death.

British comedian Ricky Gervais continues to roast Hollywood’s elites whom he believes are becoming lecturers to the general public amid the global coronavirus pandemic and should simply stop trying to tell others what to do. "I've got nothing against anyone being a celebrity or being famous," he told the New York Times in an interview published on Thursday.

ITV’s Love Island is likely to come out in August of this year, and could even be filmed in the UK instead of the sunny surrounds of Spain.

Giving back. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have donated excess profits from their royal wedding broadcast to a U.K. charity feeding families amid the coronavirus pandemic.
