If you're anything like us, you'd probably forgotten that Winter Love Island is an actual thing that's happening, and soon you'll have nightly entertainment to get you through the dark and dreary evenings.

Announced by ITV2 off the back of, er, Summer Love Island, a January version of the hit show is coming, with a number of singles being whisked off to South Africa in a bid to find love.

While fans are currently speculating that the show will follow the same format as the existing show, presenter Caroline Flack has been teasing some major details about January's series, promising it will be "hotter than ever".

Speaking to The Sun Online, she commented: "I literally cannot wait. It is going to be so hot. Probably the hottest one yet. Cape Town, can you believe it? Love Island's twice a year now, it's going to be mad."

OK, so it's not as if she's revealing the chosen contestants' middle names and phone numbers, but still. Hotter than ever.

This comes as Paul Mortimer, Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions at ITV, explained why they had chosen to create a winter version of the show. "Off the back of a record-breaking year, we're delighted to be bringing an extra series of our biggest and sunniest show to the 2020 schedule.

"Love Island has proven yet again to be the perfect format that engages younger audiences. In response to this viewer appetite, a new batch of young singletons will deliver some highly anticipated post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location."

That is our January sorted.
