Crisis meetings for 'Love Island'?
Celebrity Love Island producers attended a crisis meeting yesterday as they discussed how to save the ITV1 reality series, according to The Mirror.

As consultant producer, the show's host Kelly Brook was also asked to sit through the three-hour meeting.

"Everyone on the crew knows the celebrities just aren't performing - they're not doing enough," a source told the newspaper.

"The idea of putting two young celebs together in the Love Shack turned into the most boring television ever seen, because Lady Isabella Hervey laid on her back all day. She looked like a bronzed corpse.

"The producers called their whole team together to hammer out ways of breathing new life into the show and forcing the celebrities to do more entertaining things. At the moment, it just looks like these people are treating the show as a free holiday."

The newspaper claims that ITV may be considering axing the show if it fails to improve in the next two weeks.

The source added, "Everyone's worried it will go the same way as Celebrity Wrestling if it doesn't improve."
