But in a slight change, the show has stopped placing them in a row and has a number of beds facing each other for a more communal feel.
In addition, the new villa has also brought back “the dog house” – a folding bed in the living room, where islanders who find themselves on the wrong side of their partner can spend the night.
Upstairs, the girls’ dressing room leads to the enclosed sun terrace which overlooks an infinity pool which now has in-water lounge chairs.
A pop art theme and eye-catching neon lights run throughout the villa and a rose gold kitchen has been installed outside.

The garden includes a variety of seating areas with yellow, blue and pink accents.

He added that the foyer area where islanders often congregate before spills and new arrivals is now more of an “arena” for the show’s most dramatic moments.
