Celebrities will be forced to sleep two to a bed in a sexy new TV show set on a desert island.

Ten randy celebs, who so far include Abi Titmuss, Liberty X's Michelle Heaton and former EastEnder Christopher Parker, will spend a fortnight on the island trying to find love.

Celebrity Love Island is being dubbed as a kind of OK! on the beach, and will be a far cry from the tortuous shows such as I'm a Celebrity.

Instead, the focus seems to be on watching celebs such as glamour model Jodie Marsh, ex-Emmerdale star Adele Silva and Corrie's Danny Young cavorting around half naked.

"It will feature ten young, single, good looking celebs - the sort you see in OK! magazine - on a paradise island," an insider said.

"We want it to be very glamorous. They won't eat bugs or get covered in muck."

The contestants will take part in romance-themed games and challenges, dating each other and snuggling up at night in just five beds.

Those that find love could take home a cash prize - but only if they are still a couple at the end of the series.

The ITV1 show will be screened nightly this summer.
