Love Island bosses will send the show’s female stars to Casa Amor for the first time in three years, MailOnline can reveal.
The girls, which include Gemma Owen, 19, Tasha Ghouri, 23, and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 27, think they are going for a cocktail but are instead whisked away to the rival mansion, where they are welcomed in by a string of singletons hoping to turn heads.
A source told MailOnline that Casa Amor is destined to become “the girls’ dream vacation” as the boys will eventually wonder if their new relationships have any chance of surviving.

“This year is all about the girls – they’ve kept the boys busy and will continue to do so by leaving the main villa and going to Casa Amor,” a TV insider explained.
“The new arrivals are poised to turn heads and for the first time in three years, it will be the show’s female stars preparing to return to the villa with a possible new man on their arm.
“It’s all up for grabs and Gemma and Luca’s relationship and Tasha and Andrew’s will really be tested.”
The girls were last sent to Casa Amor in 2019, the series which starred the likes of Maura Higgins, 31, Molly-Mae Hague, 23, and Amber Gill, 24.
