DATING show fans have been given their first glimpse inside ITV2's new 'Winter Love Island' - The Cabins - where contestants have 24 hours to find love.

Contestants face a race against the clock to connect with their potential partners, with just 24 hours to get to know their cabin mate before deciding if they have a future together.

To help them with their decision making, the UK-based cabins will come with hot tubs, crackling fires, glasses of bubbly and even inviting double beds.

Each of the three cabins have different colour schemes and themes, but are all kitted out with plush soft furnishings and fluffy throws for the couples to potentially snuggle up underneath.

They all have fully equipped kitchens too, so the pairings can cook or bake for one another to try and show off their culinary prowess.

Six people will pair up and after 24 hours they can choose to spend more time together or 'Check out' and leave the cabin.

The show - which has already been recorded - was able to go ahead after ITV put strict health and safety Covid-19 protocols in place.

This included contestants isolating at a hotel while awaiting their Covid test results and any pre-show filming carried out with minimal crew, who all wore face masks and were regularly temperature checked throughout production.

In a new trailer, viewers get a glimpse at the contestants looking for love, with one couple climbing into bed together while another share a snog after going in the hot tub.

Others enjoy a round of karaoke while two females are seen having a water gun fight outside.

Nearly three million viewers tuned in to see Finley Tapp and Paige Turley crowned winners, and show bosses will be hoping those fans will get stuck into The Cabins.

As well as a hit with fans, the show also produced long lasting relationships.

Fin and Paige are still together, as are their fellow finalists Luke Trotman and Siannise Fudge.

The Cabins starts Monday, January 4 at 9pm on ITV2.
