While the famous first episode is still in the works, a sneak peek of the initial coupling ceremony has escaped the grasp of the tight-lipped execs and the new singletons are looking island-ready!
This comes following huge backlash encountered by show producers regarding the "Identikit" bodies featured on the show. One comment from ITV2 producers, in response to a lack of body diversity, appeared to attract floods of media attention due to controversial interpretations.
