It was then followed by a full-length trailer that used the song Lose Control by Meduza, Becky Hill & Goodboys was released on December 6, 2019 which featured Caroline Flack. On December 17, 2019, Flack announced that she would be standing down as host following allegations of assault towards her boyfriend. On December 20, it was announced that fellow TV presenter Laura Whitmore would be her replacement. She also took the role of presenting Love Island: Aftersun, which for the first time aired every Monday after the main show rather than its usual Sunday slot.

For the first winter edition of the show, the Islanders will stay at the Midden Cottage, located in the "ultra-wealthy" Constantia suburb of Cape Town.

Controversies
Viewers called for contestant Ollie Williams to be axed after pictures were obtained by The Sun showing him posing next to animal corpses from endangered species in South Africa. A representative of Williams claimed he is a "conservationist and worked with an anti-poaching unit in Mozambique" involved in the culling of sick animals. However, according to Metro Williams is the director of a hunting business known as Cornish Sporting Agency. In since-deleted images on his social media, Williams is seen posing with dead animals alongside his clients. It led to a Change.org petition to remove Williams from the series.

Regulator Ofcom received 272 complaints after the first airing, 231 of which regarding Williams inclusion on the show. The producers stated they have no intention of removing Williams and "refuse to back down to the public" believing it will "blow over".
