Channel 4’s streaming hit Virgin Island is returning for a second series and is looking for local people aged 21+ who are still virgins to take part. The groundbreaking, heartwarming and authentic series follows a group of adult virgins as they travel to a luxury island retreat to embark on a unique hands-on course in intimacy, in the hope that it can help them overcome the fears that are holding them back.

Since its debut, the show has quickly become one of the year’s biggest conversation starters, rising to the top spot for Channel 4’s unscripted launches in this age group, outpacing recent favourites like The Jury: Murder Trial and Late Night Lycett, as well as long-standing staples such as Supernanny and the first Married at First Sight series.

Series one participant, Dave, said of his experience: “I had an amazing time on the Island, and I’m truly thankful for the time I spent there. Anyone who has watched the show will have seen how much my confidence grew over the course of the series, and I can’t speak highly enough of the experts and production team for making us feel so safe and secure. I was lucky enough to achieve the ultimate aim of the series whilst on the Island, and I can’t wait to see the next group of participants go on the same journey – I would wholly encourage anyone with enough courage and resilience to apply, it’s completely changed my life.”

Ever imagined yourself living it up on the island , could you see yourself joining the next series? More information, terms and conditions and the application form can be found at www.virginisland.co.uk
