‘Love Island’ bosses are searching for a male virgin, a female stripper and someone related to royalty for the new season of the show.
Casting agents and talent spotters for the ITV2 show – hosted by Caroline Flack – have been asked to find an eclectic mix of people to take part in the upcoming winter series, which will air in January.
They are also on the lookout for a rock chick and a male surfer dude.
A source told The Sun Online: "It’s no secret that contestants for the show come through a lot of different channels.
"As well as tens of thousands of people applying through ITV’s website this year, the show accepts contestants put forward by talent scouts and agents, and producers approach people on social media too."
It was previously revealed that the ITV2 dating show is also seeking "twins, goth girls and Essex lads".
One guy, who was approached by show bosses at a Spanish pool party, said: "I was asked if I was single and they showed me credentials from ITV2.
"I was a bit nervous about giving my name so they then showed me an email where they’d been asked to find ‘types’. On there, it listed twins, goth girls and Essex lads."
While the show will move to a brand new villa in South Africa for a winter sun version of the show, the summer series will return to Europe later in the year as usual.
Paul Mortimer, Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions at ITV recently said: "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."
