This is the second time in the show's history that the winter show has been axed, with the first series airing in 2020 and the second in 2023, after a two-year break.

A source told the MailOnline: "The winter series of Love Island has been axed for a second time… viewers just aren't interested in watching the show twice a year. "It will be replaced by a brand new All Stars series, which will feature former Islanders who are still looking for love.
