Set on a hilltop away from a nearby village, the pad, which was used on the show last year, is currently a hive of activity as the workers give the property an almighty upgrade.

Staff have been busy for days setting up the hidden cameras and linking up the microphones to make sure every cough and spit is captured on screen.

Yards of wiring run along the outskirts of the pad while bikini-clad babes and musclebound hunks make up and break up for the cameras.

And although everything may look effortlessly pristine on TV, behind the scenes there's evidence of a lot of hard work, with wheelbarrows and skips filled with wood surrounding the pad.

 Cameras are set up everywhere to catch the couples, like Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt, enjoying the large beds
