LOVE Island’s famous movie night will air a week early this year as bosses capitalise on a resurgence in ratings.
Maya Jama’s dating show has mopped up viewers turned off by politics and sport on other channels, with some 3.4million tuning in.
Now execs have shaken-up the schedule to air the dramatic format point on Sunday night.
Movie Night sees the Islanders shown footage of their other halves’ behaviour during the Casa Amor relationship test and usually lands at least seven episodes after.
A source said: “Execs are keen to keep the ratings rolling so want to pack the schedule with guaranteed drama.
“Movie Night always delivers on that.
“Several of the lads haven’t been as up front and honest with their girls as they could have been and rolling the tapes will immediately expose that.
“With Sean’s flirting, Ciaran’s history with Ellie, Wil’s Hideaway moment with Lucy and the full extent of Ayo’s pursuit of Jess laid bare, the drama is going to be off the scale.”
In 2021, the segment sparked a row so ferocious it became Ofcom’s most complained-about moment of the year.
Faye Winter laid into her man Teddy Soares over a clip of him which actually proved he’d stayed loyal – but she erupted.
She said the word “f*ck” 57 times in the now infamous row, resulting in over 57,000 complaints to the regulator.
But every series, the segment produces drama.
Maya Jama returned to the villa to find out who wanted to be with who. The results were:
Ciaran and Nicole
Konnor and Emma
Sean and Matilda
Jessy and Joey
Ayo and Jessica
Trey and Ellie
Hugo and Jess
Grace and Blade
Dumped: Ruby, Diamanté, Lucy, Jake, Moziah, Lionel, Joel
