As we count down the days until June, when the popular show is expected to return with Caroline Flack, it's being reported that former Big Brother contestant Lotan Carter is being lined-up by bosses.

Probably one of the most shocking Love Island recouplings was definitely Maura and Curtis. Against all odds the pair made it to the final and weeks after leaving the villa they became an official couple. Upon leaving Love Island, the Irish ring girl gushed about her other half to Closer magazine, saying, "I'm not going to lie, I'm excited for being alone together and what's about to come. "[He] better be able to keep up, or he'll be gone!"

Michael left us - and the villa - shook when he decided to recouple with Joanna, leaving Amber single. Despite the awkwardness, Michael and Joanna seemed to kind of be working - until she was dumped from the island and then he said he still has feelings for Amber. He was then dumped from the villa and Joanna was then spotted 'kissing' Michael at a festival. Michael has since sparked rumours that he's recoupled with another Casa Amor star.

Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt

Lucie and Joe had a rough time in the Love Island villa, especially after the sandwich maker was accused of "gaslighting" his other half. Luckily post-villa they managed to work through all the drama and are now in a relationship.

You'll remember stripper Lotan, who has his penis insured for £12 million (yes really), from the 2017 series of Big Brother, where he was removed from the famous house for 'aggressive behaviour'.

But now, it looks the FIT LORD will be making a return to TV, with a source telling The Sun: "Lotan’s really up for it and he’s been training so he looks his best on camera. Producers seemed really interested but he’s worried his reality show past might work against him.

"He’s got some really good stories about celebs, though, and would make great TV.

"And he’s looking for love. He wants to find The One and hopes that he can find someone to settle down with through the show."

Despite the rumours, it's being reported that bosses at ITV are yet to decide which contestants will appear on Love Island 2019. We can't wait to see this year's singletons!
