The Channel Nine dating show will sadly no longer be filmed in Spain and, according to The Daily Telegraph, the series was originally intended to be filmed in Fiji.

However, that country is no longer in the pipeline as the country’s government was allegedly concerned by the “sleazy tone” of the show.

The publication reported that Channel Nine producers have now agreed to film this season in Queensland.

It may not be the glamour of Spain or the beauty of the Fijian Islands, but Queensland will be significantly more convenient for the show’s Aussie staff.

Rumours were circulating that Jessika Power would be starring in Love Island Australia 2019, however, she has since denied the remarks.

While the network is yet to reveal the cast, Dr Sam Hay’s wife— who’s a producer on Love Island Australia— told KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O show that they’re “Twice as good as last year. [That’s] mostly [based on] looks, because they haven’t actually sort of really sat down and had a chat with them.” Some interesting characters seem to be coming through, too.” 

Sophie Monk shared two trailers on her Instagram account in the lead up to the show.

The first teaser (above) shows the blonde beauty sitting on a cloud and chatting to the Gold of Love – voiced by Eoghan – who says “we’ve got a big problem with love. There’s just not enough. Dating apps aren’t working… we need more love.”

“It’s all taken care of,” Sophie responds. “I’ve got the perfect place for falling in love. It’s an island… a love island.”

“God of Love, you can count on me,” she adds as she takes on the task of finding “loads of hot bodies” to join the island.

In the second teaser, Sophie plays the role of cupid as she sits in a support group for “beautiful people” looking for love.

“I try to wear clothes, it just doesn’t feel right,” says one shirtless hunk.

Another shares his own woes, “I know I am an 11 but to find another 11, we’re like unicorns.”

“I get 50,000 likes but all I really want is love,” another says.

Sophie then tells them “Beautiful people, I feel your pain and I am here to find you, love. Imagine an island with beautiful people.”

The next season of Love Island Australia will premiere on Monday, October 7 at 8.45 pm on Nine.
