Love Island Winter starts this Sunday, and we're dying to get more details ahead of the first episode. We met the contestants and we can already tell that this series is set for some major drama.

This year Love Island was hit by a shakeup after all the Caroline Flack assault drama. Laura Whitmore is set to replace Flack as the new host for this first-ever winter edition of Love Island. This year will also see Islanders in a brand new location: contestants will be looking for love in Cape Town, South Africa.
Love Island producers have kept some classic elements from the Majorcan old Love Island house, such as the beach hut, fire pit, pool and the controversial communal bedroom. But there are new features that are going to make things more interesting: a new dressing room for the boys (fair enough), a 'vibey new hideaway', and The Love Island Dog House!
Let's take a look!
Let's say, for example, a contestant gets into a fight or gets coupled up with the wrong person. Instead of continuing to sleep with that person or crashing on the couch, they can opt to put themselves in the dog house.
The Love Island Hideaway is a private room where contestants can go to have privacy if they feel like they need it. It's pink and very Love Islandy. The 'vibey' private room is also a new addition, it has a hot tub like the old house, so couples can relax and take a dip together with champagne.
There is going to be a big change this year boys also will also have a proper dressing room (about time!), a great new addition considering the girl's dressing room has given us some big Love Island moments.
Of course, old aspects of the former villas are there like a pool (challenges wouldn't be the same without a pool), a beach hut, and a lounge area. They've even managed to make the room look pretty much identical! And how did they get the EXACT same fire pit in the villa... amazing!
