As Mallorca is on the amber list, it could be the cast that the parents meet the partners virtually, rather than in person.
However, a source told The Sun that family members who are fully-vaccinated will be entering the villa, as they won't have to quarantine for 10 days on their return.
The insider said: "the plan is to fly out the families to Spain if they’re double jabbed and happy to travel within the rules. Then there will be a socially distanced meeting – and there will be fireworks."
When might the meet the parents episode air?
The episode usually takes place in the week of the final. This year's final will take place on August 23, meaning that the parents could potentially feature on the show this week.
