EXCLUSIVE: Love Island Australia is set to have a full broadcast in the UK.
The Sophie Monk-hosted reality series will screen from Monday August 13 on digital channel ITVbe and online platform ITV HUB.
The Aussie series, produced by ITV Studios Australia, has been heavily-sought by frenzied Love Island UK fans who lobbied the broadcaster to screen the full series.
They also under-pinned the show’s YouTube audience which drew a mammoth 179 million views (no that’s, not a typo).
With so much success for the brand, a US version is also under discussion with American networks (Update: CBS to proceed with US adaptation).
Nine is yet to announce a second season for 9GO!

Yummy Mummies was also on UK TV here. ITVBE screens reality TV at its best and worse. Love Island UK just won a BAFTA
Spreading the shame internationally.
Worst show, ever!
I am surprised that the local version more of these reality franchises that have an international following don’t do this. (Specifically, I could see Aus Survivor and Aus Bachelor doing decently in the aboard on some streaming service).
It’s up to the UK. LI is one a bit out of the box due to the brand and clear traction. UK narrator helps.
Usually if a channel has the rights to make a local version they can block an imported version being shown. Here in the UK though we do get quite a few US and Aussie versions of local franchises on the digital channels. Survivor isn’t one of them though – flopped here in the UK and axed after two seasons. The US version has never aired here.
