If you're looking for love, or perhaps just a free holiday in the sun, we have some good news - the applications for Winter Love Island are still open.
It is due to start on January 12th, but yet the show is still looking for its final contestants.
And if the application form is anything to go by, ITV2 isn't just looking for Instagram stars this time around.
The application page states that the broadcaster is "looking for vibrant singles from across the UK who want to head to the Winter sun, in search of love."
It adds: "The chosen cast will spend time in a luxury villa, getting to know one another, but to remain in paradise they must win the hearts of the public and their fellow Islanders who ultimately decide their fate on Love Island."
So if you're free single and want to find someone who is your type on paper, looks like now is your big chance.
That is of course if you're also willing to be get cosy with potential partners on national TV. But, if nothing else the new villa is in sunny South Africa, so it's going to be incredible.
The show clearly hasn't filled all its spots in terms of contestants yet, but it's also lost its original presenter - Caroline Flack - after she stepped down from the winter instalment in light of recent events.
Last week, she was arrested and charged with assault by beating following a dispute with her boyfriend Lewis Burton at her North London home.
But today, Laura Whitmore was announced as her replacement.
She said in a post on Instagram: "I want to thank ITV for trusting me at the helm of this huge show. I wish it was in better circumstances; Caroline is a brilliant host and friend.
"We've spoken a lot in the last few days since she stepped down. She has been very kind to me and strongly pushed me for this role. I've watched her host every series and know I have big boots to fill. I will try and do it justice.
"Above all, I am a massive fan of this show. I've never been to a Love Island villa, and I can't wait to get in there to meet all the new islanders looking for love.
"The Love Island team are the best in the business... including the voice and heart of the show, Iain. He thought he was getting a holiday away from me...not a chance".
Want to see Laura in action and have a loved up albeit drama-filled holiday to South Africa? Well don't be a melt and apply to be on the show here.
