Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes in the Love Island villa? Turns out the ITV2 reality show may not be as ‘real’ as it appears.

In an eye-opening TikTok Q&A session, recently dumped Love Island 2023 contestant George Fensom pulled back the curtain and spilled the tea on the secrets of the villa.

Fans eagerly bombarded George with burning questions, and one follower couldn't help but ask the million-dollar one: "Is there anything that you didn't expect whilst going into the villa?" George confessed that he’d been a “fan of the show” for a while, revealing his connection to a network of ex-Islanders.

Armed with insider knowledge, he knew the ins and outs of the villa before even stepping foot inside. However, George admitted: "The one thing that did surprise me was on the first day how things are produced on certain days. "On the first day when you walk in, there was a lot of stop, start, stop, start, just trying to get all the shots of the Islanders, shots of the couples that's where it pans slowly to the couples. "That surprised me and I thought it was going to be like that the whole time but it turns out it wasn't, that was literally just the first day." He also revealed that most of the time when the iconic line “I’ve got a text” is shouted out, the Islanders end up having to redo a couple of takes.
