Capital FM have launched a search for a new ‘Love Island’ contestant.
The music station has unveiled a new way fans can try to get onto the popular ITV2 summer series, which will air later this year, by telling their 1.05 million Twitter followers to tune into the station and let them know them why you could be the "ultimate" islander, for a chance to appear on the show.
They tweeted: "We’re searching for the ULTIMATE Love Islander. If you wanna be on the next series of #LoveIsland, tell us why you’ll be the best Islander. http://capitalfm.co/ListenNow (sic)"
ITV previously confirmed ‘Love Island’ will return next year – after the final broke a ratings record for ITV2.
The popular show has been recommissioned for a fifth series after an audience of 3.6 million viewers, peaking at 4.1 million, tuned in to see Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham triumph during the series.
In the final, the couple defeated second placed Laura Anderson and Paul Knops, third placed Josh Denzel and Kaz Crossley, and fourth placed Megan Barton Hanson and Wes Nelson in the final to take home the £50,000 prize money.
Paul Mortimer, ITV’s head of digital channels and acquisitions said: "’Love Island’ was once again the must-see show of the summer.
"At ITV2, we were thrilled with the level of younger viewer engagement to the extent that it broke all our previous audience records and is now firmly established as the biggest ever series in the multi-channel space. The main show, The ‘Hot List’ and ‘Aftersun’ have all helped propel ITV2 towards what will undoubtedly be its most successful year so far."
