Love Island is reportedly set to be the focus of a new tell-all book that promises to reveal behind-the-scenes information about the reality show. In an exclusive article released by The Sun on February 25, 2025, it was reported that Vanity Fair contributing editor Anna Peele is writing the book, which will be published by Simon & Schuster.
The book will allegedly contain interviews with former contestants and insiders from the production team, discussing the behind-the-scenes story of what actually goes on when the cameras are not rolling.
In contrast with official tie-ins, which share a polished take on the show, this book is likely to look more deeply at the Islanders' experiences, along with the impact of the show in their everyday lives. It will reportedly examine major controversies, production practices, and personal accounts from cast members about their time in the villa.

The book will also allegedly discuss the tragedies linked to Love Island, including the deaths of former contestants Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon, as well as former host Caroline Flack.
What will the Love Island tell-all book reportedly reveal?
According to reports, the book will not be an official Love Island publication, meaning it will not follow ITV’s branding or promotional guidelines. Instead, it will reportedly provide a detailed account of the reality series from multiple perspectives.
As reported by The Sun, the author has allegedly spoken to several former contestants and members of the production team, gathering insights into what happens both during filming and after contestants leave the villa.
The book will reportedly deal with a wide range of subjects, such as the psychological impact of being on the show and how ex-Islanders have navigated their personal life since leaving Love Island. The Sun article reported that although the book will mention some of the show's success stories, it will also seriously examine the difficulties contestants experience, especially with regard to mental health and the media spotlight.
Behind-the-scenes revelations and cast experiences
As part of the book’s investigation, several former contestants have reportedly shared their experiences, including how they were treated on and off the show. The book will reportedly discuss how cast members are selected, their interactions with producers, and the impact of editing on their public image.
It is also set to allegedly examine the structure of the show, including how storylines are shaped and the extent of production involvement in key moments. While Love Island is known for its dramatic recouplings and emotional exits, the book will offer insight into what happens beyond what is aired on TV.
Fans can expect to learn more about how contestants adapt to life after the villa, including the opportunities and challenges they face. As the book’s release date approaches, more details are expected to be revealed.
The most recent season of Love Island concluded last month, with Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman winning All Stars. The finale saw the couple crowned as winners after securing the most public votes, beating other finalists in the competition. A new season is expected to premiere later this year, featuring a fresh group of contestants searching for love.
Love Island: All Stars episodes are available to stream on ITVX.
