It’s not the first dating series the channel has been planning to launch after the success of Love Island. 

Earlier this year, the broadcasting company announced plans to create a dating show where they encourage contestants to hit on people who are already in relationships.

According to The Sun, the programme will be set in a ‘luxury location’ and makers are ‘already advertising for ‘adventurous singles’ who are willing to ‘take part in a new social experiment dating series’.’

Channel 4 bosses are no doubt hoping that each series will follow in the success of previous dating shows including Love Island and Netflix‘s original hits like Love is Blind and Too Hot to Handle

Earlier this year it emerged it was not only the stars of Love Island who can expect to cash in on the series – with ITV netting as much as £73.5million in lucrative sponsorship deals.

The broadcaster signed up nine official partners – including Boots and Tinder – for the reality show’s latest series, which ends on Monday.

Five of the deals dictate products that must be visibly placed or used in the Majorcan villa, according to media and marketing firm North.

Meanwhile four allow firms to use the show for their branding and ad campaigns. Just Eat, the show’s main sponsor, is thought to have bagged the most lucrative deal – worth £50million.

The takeaway service, which is allowed to show adverts at the start and end of each commercial break, also backs the official Love Island podcast.

JD Sports, which has provided the villa with a gym and workout gear, is estimated to have spent £2.4million on the partnership – as well as £5million on the podcast.

And online fashion brand I Saw It First – which has kitted out the islanders in bikinis and swimming trunks – is thought to have secured a deal worth £2.4million.

Boots and Cloud Nine, which have provided the contestants with hair and beauty products, are thought to be paying between £1million and £2million for the endorsements.

Outside the villa, Wrigley’s Extra gum has spent around £3.6million for six TV adverts and new packaging encouraging customers to ‘Find Your Other Half’.

WKD has also paid between £2.5million and £3million to be the show’s official alcohol partner, creating exclusive on-pack branding and a new TV advert.

Meanwhile Spotify is thought to have paid around £1.6million to host the official Love Island playlist.
