''Love Island'' (originally ''Celebrity Love Island'') is a daily British reality television programme. In the show, twelve single celebrities spent five weeks on an island in Fiji. Viewers would vote for the couple they would like to see in the "love shack" where the two would get to know one another better. In the first series, each week viewers voted celebrities off the island, but in the second, the inhabitants had the final say. The identities of those being kicked out were revealed in the elimination episodes. The prize for the final couple left standing was £50,000. The second series also featured the inhabitants having to cook and clean up after themselves to fight the appearance that they were just there for a free holiday.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Celebrity Love Island )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Celebrity Love Island (TV Series 2005–2006) )〕 It was originally presented by Patrick Kielty and Kelly Brook, with Fearne Cotton taking over as female host in the second series. It aired in the United Kingdom on ITV. The first series aired in the summer of 2005, and it was won by Jayne Middlemiss and Fran Cosgrave. The second series began in July 2006, dropping ''Celebrity'' from its name. It was won by Bianca Gascoigne and Calum Best. The theme tune for the first series was "Wish I", performed by Jem. A specially-composed summer theme by Daniel Pemberton (later released under the title "From Fiji with Love") was used for the second series. The show was axed in November 2006. On 13 February 2015, it was announced that ''Love Island'' will return on ITV2 in 2015. It was later announced that Caroline Flack would host the revived series〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Caroline Flack confirmed to present new-look Love Island on ITV2 )〕 starting on 7 June 2015. ==Series 1 (2005)== The first series was broadcast during the summer of 2005. The show attracted controversy from the moment it was announced by ITV. It was marketed as a rival for Channel 4's popular reality show, ''Big Brother'', which returned for a sixth series soon after the show's launch. Many commentators felt that the format of the show provided low quality television as an excuse to attract high ratings. Following the launch of the show, the celebrities were criticised by viewers for being boring, and the celebrity status of some of the participants was questioned. There was some suspicion that the contestants were simply using the programme as a free holiday, and the tabloids claimed that producers held crisis meetings to figure out how to keep things interesting.〔Kelly Telly Helly (Daily Mirror ) 21 May 2005〕 Soon afterwards, tabloid reports claimed that the show's presenters, Kelly Brook and Patrick Kielty, were engaged in a bitter feud. The problems between the pair allegedly started after Kielty told viewers on the live show that Brook had previously been involved in a relationship with one of the contestants, Paul Danan.〔Kelly V Kielty (Sunday Mirror ) 22 May 2005〕 However, even the promise of fireworks between the two hosts was not enough to keep viewers interested, and one episode of the show only attracted less than 2 million viewers. Producers later hired model Nikki Ziering to spice up the show. The show was also resented by fans of long-running ITV soap ''Coronation Street''. ITV decided to move its flagship programme from 19:30 to 20:30 on Monday nights, to provide a successful lead-in for ''Love Island'', in the hope of increasing ratings. Writers John Fay and Daran Little complained to the press about the treatment of the show. ITV argued that it took the decision to move the soap very seriously and only did so when absolutely necessary. A meeting was requested with ITV programming director Nigel Pickard to discuss the issue.〔Corrie at War Over ITV Flops (Sunday Mirror ) 10 June 2005〕 On 10 June 2005, although ratings were beginning to pick up, with the show close to overtaking ''Big Brother'' in popularity, a strong storm over the islands of Fiji disrupted the programme. A live eviction show had to be cancelled as six-foot waves made it impossible for crewmembers to cross over to where the celebrities were staying. Instead, ITV was forced to repeat the episode from the previous night with unseen footage. Shekoni was the first celebrity to be voted off the show by the public. "For the short period I was there I got on with everybody and didn't have any negative experiences. But when I watch it now I just think, oh God, I had a lucky escape that I didn't end up crying in front of the cameras, or getting rejected by any of the guys, or involved in any of the arguments. I know my family are just pleased that I got out and didn't do anything to ruin my integrity and morals and didn't do anything embarrassing in there. I knew almost instantly that I didn't fancy any of them, and I think that's why I got voted out. That's fair enough because it is supposed to be the love island and I obviously hadn't found love. I'm still looking, though, and I've been out searching ever since." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Love Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
