No, none of the contestants starred in the series (so far).

It turns out that winter Love Island has a secret Black Mirror connection. The new season of the reality TV show is due to kick off in a few days time, on January 12.  And Love Island seems like it couldn't be any further from Black Mirror, it turns out the two shows have something pretty big in common.

Yes, according to The Sun, the South African villa where the Islanders are going to be living is the same one that Ashley O was imprisoned in through Rachel, Jack & Ashley Too. Miley Cyrus played Ashley O, a burnt-out pop star who was held in the sprawling mansion against her will. She was kept in a. coma by her manager and wired up to machines, which allowed the higher-ups to extract her dreams and produce new music. The publication report that the Table Mountain property is the same one that is being used for the series of winter Love Island.  And based on the photos so far, it looks to be even more incredible than the original villa. The first season of winter Love Island is due to kick off on January 12. Much like its summer counterpart, the series will see twelve singletons enter a luxurious villa in the hopes of finding love - you can find the initial lineup of Islanders here.
