The first series of the groundbreaking Channel 4 show aired in May last year and followed 12 adult virgins as they try to overcome their intimacy anxiety.

The show was nominated for a Bafta and was instantly snapped up for a second series, which will hit screens next week.

And it promises to be bigger and bolder than ever, as 12 new young people head to the island in Croatia to confront their issues around sex.

On hand to help them once again are Dr Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschmann and their newly expanded team of sex therapists.

They include stunning Shelby Devlin, a 39-year-old BDSM coach and kink expert from San Francisco.

Shelby has 15 years’ experience as a sex educator and holds a master’s degree in Sexual Studies.

Shelby joins for a short stint in the middle of the series, but admits she was surprised “how quickly I became attached to the participants.”

She continued: “I joined mid-shoot for a relatively short window, so relationships had already begun forming.

“But from my very first workshop, I felt an immediate connection to both the individual participants and to the group dynamic as a whole.

“It felt like falling in love at first sight.”

While the new series will have many of the same elements that made the first so successful – and talked about – the show’s Executive Producer Tom Garland explained why series two was going to another level with the participants.

He said: “We wanted to keep some of the old classics like the dating phase, the body phase. These were things that are really important to people.

“They’re things that maybe they have gaps in their knowledge and it was important for us to keep those classics.

“But also I think there was definitely an opportunity to explore turn ons a little bit more. That’s all to do with turn ons. Technique I think was something that resonated a lot with the group and the audience as well.

“And just dipping our toe into the kink world and play time. And sort of trying to stop it being scary and actually making it something that is a little bit more accessible. And pushing a few boundaries at the same time.”

Celeste added: “I feel like kinks are really really important because so many people have them. When I think of it, I think like sex is really play time. And kinks are one way that people play. And a lot of people like to play with power or sensation.

“And all of that enhances the intensity and arousal and experience. So we wanted people to have access to all these different kinds of feelings.”

Virgin Island starts Monday, April 27 at 9pm on Channel 4.
