AS Love Island prepares to return to our screens next month for only the second winter edition in its history, a first look at the very luxurious Casa Amor has been revealed.
Producers have chosen a snazzy home for the iconic Casa Amor segment, just feet away from the main house – right next to the action in South Africa.
Casa Amor is one of the most anticipated moments in the show – bringing us shocks including Andrew Le Page hooking up with Coco Lodge behind Tasha Ghouri's back.
Having the two villas so close together means the ITV show's most controversial twist will be even more drama packed when it returns in January.
And the accommodation for the drama to unfold looks as swanky as ever before.

The new Casa Amor is in South Africa’s Western Cape, an area packed with vineyards and popular with British holidaymakers.
The large home features a huge outdoor swimming pool with reclining chairs beside it.
There’s a vast outdoor area perfect for contestants to pull each other for chats in privacy, against views of the stunning South African surroundings.
The winter series’ Casa Amor also boasts a sizeable kitchen with an island which attaches to a large lounge.
It’s likely the luxurious accommodation will look different when given a Casa Amor refurb, but there’s plenty of room for Love Island’s iconic dramatic scenes to unfold.
Discussing this year’s big twist, a source said: "Casa Amor's inhabitants have always been able to relax in the knowledge that the people they're coupled up with are miles away.
"Well not any more – if there's any wild partying going on, the main villa may well be able to hear it.
"This year, it really could be a case of having trouble with the neighbours as the bombshells try to crack couples apart."

The Casa Amor stage of Love Island comes when the boys and girls are divided – with one group sent to live in a new house.
They are then tempted by a group of lusty new arrivals, while the same thing happens back at the main villa.
Winter series of the programme are not filmed in the traditional hotspot of Majorca because the temperatures are too cold for the permanent swimwear the show is famous for.
However, there will also be a regular series in the summer months in the show's usual home.
