Love Island’s winter series ratings have dipped after the show launch on Sunday, with 800,000 fewer viewers tuning in.
More than 2.5million people tuned in for the show, which is currently being filmed in Cape Town, South Africa.
Compared to the summer series of the show, which was won by Amber Gill and Greg O’ Shea, less people tuned in to watch, however, the ratings currently only include live viewing and not those watching on catchup on the ITVHub.
