It's time to swap Spain for a Scottish island or space 🏝️

timeout.com/news/five-stro…
The Love Island villa is on the move. Well, the villa itself isn’t moving anywhere – but the show is moving from its previous location on the Spanish island of Majorca. So obviously there’s one big question on everyone’s lips: where are the islanders heading?
For now, Love Island bosses haven’t confirmed a new location. They have said, however, that it’s pretty likely the show will stay in Majorca – and simply migrate to another villa. But let’s be honest, that would be boring. Very boring. Why not mix things up a bit?
The show could do with a bit of a shake-up after seven years of pretty much exactly the same format.

We thought it’d be a tiny bit entertaining to suggest some locations for a funner (and funnier) edition of Love Island in 2022.

Here are five definitely very plausible ideas 👇
📍Alton Towers

Ever tried to chat someone up while plummeting the 55-metre drop of Alton Towers’ legendary Oblivion? We haven’t, but we imagine it’d be pretty difficult. Staffordshire’s finest theme park would add fresh difficulty to a frankly tired formula
📍London Zoo

Watching Love Island is a lot like observing another species of human. We’re sure islanders will relish the chance to show off on camera and in front of a live audience of humans and animals. Get David Attenborough to narrate the contestants’ strange mating rituals
📍Canna

Canna in the Inner Hebrides has been struggling with attracting new residents for decades. Sure, the islanders would likely have to learn Gaelic, give up their tans and get into birdwatching, but it’d all be worth it to almost triple the island’s current population
📍Zip World Llechwedd

On the face of it, a disused slate mine in north Wales might not be as glamorous as a sun-drenched villa in the Med – but this ain’t any old mine. Full of zip wires, trampolines and opportunities for climbing and caving, it’s basically just a damn good time
📍Space

Let's see the islanders jetted off on a rocket. The host could be Elon Musk, while contestants face the challenges of trying to make a space suit look sexy. An added bonus: getting some of the world’s most annoying people far away from the rest of us as humanly possible

One night at the Mexican pad costs more than the average annual salary in the UK 🏝️

timeout.com/news/the-too-h…
With its huge thatched atrium, stunning beach location, luxuriant garden and impressive variety of swimming pools, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Casa Tau in the Mexican resort town of Punta Mita is just a typical – albeit very, very posh – holiday pad

“Absolutely awful. Too many French people thought it was funny to throw croissants and pain aux chocolate at me! Not a fun experience”
“They wouldn’t let us in. Even though it was cold and rainy outside. The guards couldn’t even smile for a second. The Queen refused to open the door or even wave at the window”

The true crime doc will make you question who you're really talking to online... 🤳

timeout.com/news/the-tinde…
Netflix’s new catfishing doc The Tinder Swindler is the true-life story of a handsome billionaire, Simon Leviev, who turns out not to be a billionaire after all, but an Israeli fraudster called Shimon Hayut. He's also the cause of suffering for the women who fall in love with him
Leviev/Hayut’s Tinder profile spoke of global jet-setting, designer labels, fast cars, and a watch collection to make Jay-Z jealous. But he also seemed to be a soft-hearted romantic who wanted to settle down and, presumably, fit a baby seat into one of those Lamborghinis

German heiress Anna Delvey was a New York socialite, entrepreneur and ridiculously loaded high-flyer.

Except, she wasn’t really any of those things.

Now Shonda Rhimes is bringing her tale to Netflix 👇

timeout.com/news/inventing…
🔴Who is Anna Delvey?

In the mid 2010s, the twentysomething Delvey became ubiquitous in Manhattan high society – an effortlessly chic figure swanning into fashion shows, hobnobbing with hedge fund types and tech bros, and having a flawless radar for where to be seen
Delvey knew all the right people and used her connections to create an exclusive art space and private members’ club called the Anna Delvey Foundation, or ‘ADF’. People queued up to give her money because she had vision, iron self-confidence and the chops to pull it all off
