ITV bosses have announced today that they will not be commissioning a third series of its summer reality show ‘Love Island’.

The announcement came as the network unveiled its winter and spring schedule in London.

Mr Shaps said he had “nothing but admiration” for the production team and the show had been “brilliantly made”.

“But I just don’t think the public appetite… was strong enough for us to bring it back for a third year,” he continued.

I am quite disappointed by this decision as I actually quite enjoyed this years Love Island. However ITV would have got much better ratings if they had not pitched the show as a rival to Channel 4’s Big Brother. Love Island just wasn’t exciting enough and Big Brother is almost a reality TV institution. Maybe they should have aired the show a month earlier, or earlier in the evening. I’m sure that if they experimented in this way they could have attracted a much larger audience.

Chris Brosnan shocked clubbers earlier this week when he loudly demanded to be told where he could purchase some cocaine and was then seen inhaling it.

A witness told the Sun: “He just did not seem to care. He had been openly asking night clubbers where he could get some ‘sniff’.

“After taking one line in the gents he went to the cash machine in the club to try to get £100. He only got £30 because of insufficient funds.

“He was trying to find out where he could get more cocaine but he wasn’t successful. After he took the drug he became really loud and lively.

“He started dancing with lots of the girls in the club and giving them a cuddle.�

Love Island winner Bianca Gascoigne said she is torn between fellow Love Island contestants Calum Best, 25, and The Streets singer 29-year-old Leo Ihenacho.

She has also described how growing up amid domestic violence at the hands of her stepdad, Paul, has affected her, and how she turned to comfort eating on the island.

Speaking about Calum, she said: “I’ve always fancied him. I couldn’t believe my luck when he turned up on the island. He’s my dream man!

“We went out as friends. We get on well. I have admitted it’s a lust thing with Calum – I won’t deny that.

“I love a bad boy. But I do genuinely think he wants to get rid of that tag. He really wants to find someone to have a proper relationship with.”

However, she also admitted she still has feelings for Leo. She said: “Leo’s got a great sense of humour and a great sense of life and other people. He’s lovely.

“When I left, we were on the phone every day, but this last week we didn’t speak and I didn’t know what was going on. But then he called me yesterday to say he liked some pictures of me he had seen on a magazine. That was nice.

“I love them both.”

However, she says she isn’t in a hurry to get into a new relationship. She said: “I’m happy for now. I’ve been single since February and that’s a big step for me as I’ve always needed a boyfriend. I used to be really needy, but now I’m having fun being single.”

She also spoke about her turbulent relationship with her stepdad Gazza. Describing his violent marriage to her mother, she said: “The things I’ve gone through in life have affected me, and made me the person I am.

“I texted him last week because he phoned my mum. She was upset after the horrible things he’d said in the papers, but he told her he was proud of me, so I texted him to say thanks.

“The man I call ‘dad’ publicly disowned me. I’m just getting on with life.”

Talking to New! magazine about her time on Love Island, she said that the other girls’ comments about her weight had upset her.

She said: “I’ve got weight issues, and the comments brought back memories of me being a chubby child. It also made people on the island focus on my weight, which I didn’t want. But I was comfort eating a lot out there.

“It was a stressful situation and I missed my mum a lot.”

The former fashion buyer also spoke about her hopes for the future since winning Love Island, and has said she would like to move into music.

She said: “I’ve had two offers for presenting work, which is exciting. But I’m also passionate about singing and some music producers have been in touch. Hopefully I will be recording some material soon.

“I’d like to make music like Beyonce’s. I’m very ambitious. I wouldn’t be happy with just a number one single. I’d want a number on album.”

However, she has denied that she would like to follow Calum’s example and move into modelling.

She said: “I did a shoot for a men’s mag recently. I was nervous because of my weight gain, but I liked the end result. I don’t want to be a glamour girl though.”

It has been revealed today that this summer reality TV show Love Island cost ITV £12 million pounds, twice as much rival show Big Brother.

Hundreds of crew and entourage were flown to the South Pacific, their hotel bills and fees also contributed to the costs. Big Brother’s production team was around 60 people, and was filmed at Elstree in Hertfordshire.

Despite the hiked production costs, the ITV1 show did not bring in the anticipated viewers for the broadcaster.

Over its run, Big Brother attracted an average adult audience of 4.2 million with Love Island only managing 2.14 million viewers.

Bianca Gascoigne, who was crowned the queen of this summer’s series of the reality TV show, was terrified about going on the programme because she thought she would become a public hate figure.

She explained: “I was sh***ing myself before I went on it in case people hated me or it was edited badly.

“I was worried about people assuming that I would be stuck up because I had a famous dad.”

Bianca, the stepdaughter of football legend Paul Gascoigne, has also revealed she is planning on launching a singing career.

She explained: “I’d love to be a singer. I’ve had producers approaching me but I don’t feel like I’m ready.

“I need to find my own voice and be completely happy with my style first.”

Despite her singing ambitions, Bianca hasn’t quite made up her mind about what direction she wants her career to go in.

She added: “TV presenting also appeals – so watch this space!”

Love Island winner Calum Best has today revealed that he is keen to fall in love, get married and start a family any time soon.

“I’ve got this playboy image which I don’t mind running with, and I don’t really do much to make people think otherwise,” he told Celebs on Sunday. “But just because I’ve had a couple of years sowing my oats doesn’t mean I’m going to be single my whole life.

“When it’s time for me to settle down, and I’ve found the right person, I’ll put in 100%. Do I want kids? For sure. I haven’t planned when – but of course I do.”

Sophie Anderton has revealed that she wishes she hadn’t taken part in this years Love Island show, as she feels the public may have gotten the wrong impression of her.

Speaking on Friday Night with Jonathon Ross she said: “I think it backfired; it wasn’t what I expected – it was difficult. I just thought it would keep me out of trouble for the summer – I didn’t expect them to throw so many mind games into it.

“I wear my heart on my sleeve and I think it came across. I didn’t expect to be so emotional, but I asked for it really – I’m a glutton for punishment.”

Although Love Island viewers may have been hoping to see some of the celebrities getting together, Sophie admitted that it was written into their contracts that they weren’t allowed to have sex.

When asked if she had been tempted to with Chris Brosnan, she said: “I snogged his face off but it didn’t go any further, definitely not.”

Sophie added: “I just wish I hadn’t snogged on TV.”

LOVE Island contestant Kate Lawler is having a breast enlargement as a result of her time in the Love Island result.

Kate, 26, says she has been thinking of going under the knife for years.

But her mind was made up when she saw the other Love Island girls’ busty swimsuit figures.

Kate, who became famous when she won Big Brother 3, told yesterday how her second reality TV experience left her green with envy.

She said: “Bianca Gascoigne’s boobs look great. I’d like mine to be a similar size.”

maybe she should ask Bianca to recommend a surgeon then.

LOVE Island hunk Shane Lynch has admitted that he’d like to wed the girl he left the ITV show for.

Our very own Prince Charming walked out on the reality show after a month so he could get back together with Sheena White.

And speaking at the premiere of Will Ferrell flick Talladega Nights, Shane told how he hopes she’s The One.

The 30-year-old said: “I’ve known her a while and I did some wrong things but we’re back together. I love her dearly.

“I hope she’s The One. I hope we’ll get engaged, although not just yet.�

Shane sensationally walked out on the reality show to win back the 25-year-old woman he describes as his “true love”.

He said recently: “When I went out to do the show I realised how much I loved Sheena, what I had in her and I wanted to go back and make amends and fight for the girl I wanted.

“Being out there and being introduced to all these different people, they didn’t have a scratch on what this girl has.â€?

LOVE Island winner Bianca Gascoigne was caught by police speeding at 93mph on a motorway in the Midlands, a court heard today.

The 19 year old was fined £200 and had 500 penalty points added to her driving licence by magistrates in Walsall.

Bianca sent a letter to the court explaining that she was in a hurry to see her mum when she was clocked by the police patrol unit in March. Not much of an excuse was it?

Lee Otway has kissed and told his story to The Mirror this week, as he admitted to a bit of passionate contact with fellow Love Island contestant Kate Lawler.

Lee told the Mirror: “Kate came back to my hotel when we left the Island and we had a bit of a kiss and a cuddle.

“But it’s between me and her exactly what happened. I’m a gentleman but it was a really nice experience.

“The old Lee would have just jumped in feet first with Kate but I’ve changed. I’ll start off just mates and let you know in a few weeks of there’s something there.�

Fresh from leaving the Love Island, pals Bianca Gascoigne and Kate Lawler have announced to the world that they are both single and on the lookout for a man!

Despite Bianca getting it on with both Calum Best and Leo Ihenacho while on the island, Bianca said: “Leo or Calum? I’m single.”

Kate Lawler commented: “I think both of those boys have got lovely qualities but you know what, I still don’t think Bianca’s made up her mind. Anyway she’s single now – we’re single chicks out on the town together. We love each other.”

Although Kate admitted to snogging Chris Brosnan since leaving but went on to say “I want a boyfriend…..I want to be in love. I want romance.”

Love Island winner Calum Best and runner up Chris Brosnan were yesterday kicked off their Fiji to London flight in Los Angeles.

Fuelled by two bottles of bourbon the pair became rowdy and disruptive while aboard the long haul flight and managed to upset both crew and passengers.

An insider said: “They’ve been celebrating Calum’s win on the show since Monday and continued on the flight. They were knocking back booze like nobody’s business.

“They were loud and obnoxious. The cabin crew and passengers were getting fed up with them. They may have seen it as high jinks but not everyone was laughing.�

The Love Island producers refused to pay for their new plane tickets to London, but somehow I don’t think the boys will be bothered!

Jack Osbourne has stated that he in no way regrets his decision not to take part in this years Love Island.

Jack thinks that he was just too clever to take part in the tropical island love-fest and couldn’t bear the thought of having to make conversation with all those thick celebrities!

He said, “I’d lose my mind if I was stuck on an island with a bunch of thick people. All they do is sit there, get drunk and try to have sex with each other.”

Typical Calum! No false modesty for him, he won and he thinks he deserved it, after all this is his second series you know!

He stated today:

“I think that the amount of time I’ve put into this f**king show…�

“Everybody had an opportunity here and it would have been good if anybody had won but I’ve been in two series back to back, and it’s the least they could give me!�
De she regret making a play for Bianca Gascoigne….’course not!

“I’ve got no regrets man. I think I handled it quite well.�

“I think she’s a f**king quality woman,� he insisted, “Last night we had to give these awards and I gave her the achievement award. She’s a young lady, she’s the youngest girl in the group and she has overcome so much shit.

“Although she might have her thick moments, I’m happy for her. I hope that her career is long and prosperous man, she’s a quality girl.�
