Virgin Island is back for season 2, and it’s finally time to meet the brave new cast members putting their most intimate fears on the line.
When the Channel 4 show returns on Monday (April 27), 12 young people will arrive hoping to tackle deep-rooted intimacy anxiety. With many admitting they’re terrified of touch, viewers are already asking: will anyone fall in love, fall into bed – or even lose their virginity?
Channel 4 promises “remarkable” and “life-changing” results. And judging by the emotional confessions already shared, this series could be the most revealing yet…
So, without further ado, here are the hopefuls ready to confront their deepest fears.

Cast of Virgin Island season 2: Alex, 28, from Exeter
Alex is smart and independent and has had girlfriends. However, anxiety has cast a long shadow over his ability to get close to someone.
Sex was a taboo subject growing up, and he still struggles to talk about it. When he’s tried before, he describes “panic, a racing heart and a desperate need to escape the situation”.
Best memory from the show: “The erotic storytelling workshop. And watching everyone go from shame and awkwardness to sharing fantasies with humour and confidence. It still makes me laugh.”
