Love Island VIP Ups the Drama With Secret Villa Switch and New Entrants

The streaming-first season leans on producer-driven twists to jolt the cast and accelerate new connections.

Overview

  • Host Sylvie Meis moved the men into a separate “VIP Members Club” without the women’s knowledge in the latest double episode.
  • Singer Pietro Lombardi visited the main villa and performed, keeping the women occupied during the relocation.
  • Three new female contestants — Gaby, Sina and Joena — joined the men in the new setting and immediately drew interest.
  • A subsequent recoupling reshaped pairings and led to three contestants exiting the show.
  • Episodes premiere on RTL+ before weekly RTLZWEI broadcasts; Season 2 features 21 celebrity participants competing for €50,000, with the next linear episode due October 9.
