If you havent heard, know now that the dating reality TV show “Love Island” is coming to Nigeria courtesy ITV studios.
The UK franchise as well as other international versions of the show enjoyed massive success after it’s revival four years ago. However, production, which takes place on the Spanish island of Mallorca was halted due to coronavirus concerns.
