The makers made the first trailer for this series available on December 26, 2022. It was a five-second clip showing a spinning, bejeweled pink velvet mechanical bull. A full-length trailer was released on January 1, 2023, where we saw Maya Jama, the hostess for the show, riding the bull and speaking out the tagline, “It’s time to grab love by the horns, I’m ready, are you?”.
The show is telecast on ITV2 and ITVX. The names of the islanders were announced just a week before the release of the show on January 9, 2023. This is also the first time the show has a partially-sighted contestant – Ron Hall sustained an eye injury while playing football when he was just 8. He now works as a financial advisor. On January 12, the makers revealed that the public would decide on the first “bombshell” of the series. Viewers were allowed to vote and choose between Ellie Spence, a business development executive who hails from Norwich, and Tom Clare, a semi-professional footballer from Barnsley.
