Instead, Chris Taylor will be joining Indiyah Polack and Amy Hart for the daily debrief on the villa’s goings-on.
Chris appeared on season five in 2019 as well as this year's All Stars series, but proved to be a controversial face the second time around.
A source told The Sun said: “Chris is Love Island royalty and bosses were thrilled to add him to the presenting line-up for The Morning After podcast, as well as the regular weekly Aftersun panel.
"The four of them make a great team and they have amazing chemistry."
