Love Island has been renewed for another series following Monday night’s final.

The hit ITV show, which saw Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde crowned champions, will be back for a brand new series in 2017.

There is also talk of a spin-off show for the winning couple, who proved the most popular with the public after six weeks in the villa.

Following the live final, fans urged bosses to consider giving the couple their own television programme so that they could follow their progress.

One person wrote on Twitter: “Please can Cara and Nathan have their own show after Love Island? Literally doing anything like a Gogglebox with them two, yes?”

“Cara and Nathan need their own TV show. I would be all over that, they are epic together,” wrote another person.

Someone else got slightly carried away, writing: “In 20 years’ time we won't be reading Romeo and Juliet in school we'll be analysing Nathan and Cara instead.”

ITV announced that another series of the popular show will hit screens next year thanks to impressive ratings.

Rosemary Newell, Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions for ITV, said:

“Love Island has come back so strong this year, and become unmissable viewing, particularly with younger viewers, which is our focus on ITV2 .

“As six weeks of hugely entertaining television come to a close, we’re delighted to be bringing the show back for a another run next year.”
