With key creative talent from both Love Island and I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, this session looks at how these shows successfully retain audiences year on year, focusing on three key teams – Casting Team, Challenge Team and Story Team. This session was part of the RTS Futures Virtual Careers Fair 2022.

Exploring the right route into TV at the RTS Futures Virtual Careers Fair

More than 1,600 people attended the RTS Futures Virtual Careers Fair on the first two days of February – making it the most popular Futures event ever. 

The talent jamboree featured sessions covering the length and breadth of television – but all were aimed at new entrants to the industry or those in the early stages of their careers. 

An online CV clinic and advice area, staffed by leading industry professionals, was attended by 500-plus people, and interactive exhibitor booths allowed companies to talk to attendees via live chat and video. 

ITV to launch shoppable TV during Love Island

The service will be inaugurated during Love Island on ITV2, with Boots UK being the first confirmed partner.

Viewers can activate the service at any time by using their LG remote control.

Contextual product discovery company, The Take, developed the AI technology for the system that is built directly into LG TV sets in the UK. It is being used for the first time in this country by ITV.
