Love Island will be back on our screens in 2021 and this year, the series is reportedly welcoming LGBTQ+ contestants.

The show has teamed up with dating app Tinder to target possible singletons and encourage them to take part.

Men and women who identify as gay on Tinder have now noticed the adverts inviting them to apply.

Love Island bosses in previous years have said a show with a variety of sexual orientations would have been difficult to produce.

However, in a recent statement to the Daily Star about the Tinder ads, ITV said:

"Our only stipulation for applicants on Love Island is that they are over 18, single and looking for love."

The show is set to hit our screens this summer and is still looking for people to take part. You can find out more on that here.
