The Sun reported that people are hard at work on the property, which has been vacant for two years due to the pandemic.

In May, fans got a glimpse at the Love Island trailer which saw presenter Laura Whitmore looking ready to cause chaos as she smashes a heart-shaped glass box that says ‘in case of Love Island, crack on.’

Another teaser clip also shows a car with the licence plate ‘LOV3’ cruising down the street.

Laura, who took over from the late Caroline Flack as host of the winter 2020 series, was snapped filming the promo for the new series a little while back. 

Love Island is expected to return Monday 28 June on ITV2.
