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.
Love Island is facing a fresh crisis amid the coronavirus outbreak, putting it at risk of not being able to air this summer. ITV bosses were hoping the hit show would be able to film in Majorca as normal following the success of the first winter series, filmed in South Africa.
With Love Island now airing twice a year, the stars that the ITV series creates have less time to cash in on their fame.
Daniel Mays has said he had to “embrace the madness” of his raunchy new TV series.
Love Island host Laura Whitmore has said she will “never be OK” with Caroline Flack’s death.

Love Island star Iain Stirling has reportedly popped the question to his host girlfriend Laura Whitmore. Iain, 32, and Laura, 34, are said to be engaged after the pair embarked on a romantic break in South Africa after filming the winter Love Island in Cape Town together at the beginning of the year.The Love Island voiceover proposed to Laura, who took over from hosting the ITV2 reality show from the late Caroline Flack, with a yellow diamond ring, according to reports.
