ITV’s head of digital channels and acquisitions Paul Mortimer said: “Las Vegas may seem like an odd destination for the show but the canny producers have beaten Covid with a show that adheres to all production protocols and that could well be sensational.”
The show was able to go ahead because contestants have been living together in a ‘bubble’ to allow them to film during the pandemic.
Stars will isolate with their fellow castmates at the top of the Las Vegas hotel for the show’s duration.
Host Arielle Vandenberg and narrator Matthew Hoffman will both be back from season one, while one lucky couple is set to win a $50,000 cash prize.
Among the girls are promoter Kaitlynn Anderson, billing coordinator Justine Ndiba, model Moira Tumas and legal secretary Cely Vazquez.
Meanwhile, sales manager Carrington Rodriguez, student Johnny Middlebrooks and personal trainer Tre Fortethe are in the male line-up.
Love Island USA will begin on ITV2 on September 7 at 9pm. In the US, it began on August 24 on CBS and CBS All Access.
