The Love Island cast are filmed almost every single day, but there are villa secrets fans never see
ITV viewers don’t see everything that goes down in the Love Island villa.
A fresh batch of Islanders have just started their quest for love in Season 13 of the reality show, once again fronted by beloved presenter Maya Jama.
We met twelve contestants last Monday (June 1st) and there has already been a batch of new arrivals in the past week. What’s more, bombshell George Knight has already quit the show due to private family reasons.
While the dating series has been on our screens for well over a decade, it still holds some behind-the-scenes truths that have been kept under wraps.
Former Islander Sean Stone revealed a very relatable tidbit in a recent interview on behalf of Heart Bingo Online.
Can the Love Island cast order takeaway in the villa?
Yes, the Islanders actually enjoy a takeaway on occasion.
The Hertfordshire lad revealed: “Despite the drama you see, we did get a lot of downtime. You get days off where it’s super chilled and you can just order a takeaway. It’s not filmed and it’s like a nice little reset.”
Even during filming days, the cast is rarely shown during mealtimes. This has sparked speculation over the years, with viewers questioning when the contestants get time to refuel.
It turns out their lunch and dinner conversations just aren’t that interesting. A producer recently explained that they have tried to capture footage during mealtimes but the contestants are usually too focused on their food to have entertaining chats.
Elsewhere in the interview, Sean shared his words of wisdom for the new cast.
“For anyone going into the villa, I’d say the most important thing is just to be yourself,” he said. “Don’t overthink situations too much. Carry yourself well, be respectful, and make sure you enjoy it too, because it really is such a unique experience.”
The ITV star added: “Being completely away from the outside world and without your phone is something you hardly ever get nowadays, so just make the most of every minute and have fun with it.”
Sean appeared on the All Stars spin-off series earlier this year, and found romance with fan favourite Lucinda Strafford.
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX tonight at 9pm.
