Love Island stars Kem Cetinay and Chris Hughes are the first couple to land their own spin-off show
KEM Cetinay and Chris Hughes are the first Love Island couple to land their own reality TV show.
The pair will star in a two-part series on ITV2 this year as fans get the chance to follow their close friendship outside the villa.
A TV insider confirmed: “Kem and Chris will begin filming for their brand new show this week.
“The series will be all about their bromance and what happened from the point of them leaving the villa until now.
“It has been commissioned as a two-part series at the moment – with the thought to develop it into a longer running show.”
The Sun’s Bizarre column revealed the pair were being lined up to star in their own programme last month.
A source said at the time: “Bosses don’t want to see an end to their bromance and are already brainstorming possible TV show ideas to pitch for when Love Island is over.
“Fans won’t be seeing the end of them just yet.”
Their friendship became a major talking point throughout the series as fans enjoyed watching their on-screen antics.
Several couples from this year’s series of Love Island have already decided to call quits on their romances.
But Kem and Chris have forged a closer bond – with the pair sharing numerous pictures on social media together and hinting at “big things to come.”
Love Island fans will remember Kem, who won the series with girlfriend Amber Davies, proving his affections for Chris by shaving his name into his pubic hair.
The pair even debated giving each other Love Island bracelets to symbolise their special friendship.

Kem said: “It’s so weird we’ve only known each other six, seven weeks but we sit here and we’re inseparable.
“We should really get a bracelet as well.
"I feel like Amber would be fuming if I got another one with you. Shall we get matching anklets?”
Chris replied: “Yes we should."
