Love Island bombshell reveals behind-the-scenes message producers often rely on

Love Island bombshell Ellie Spence has revealed that there was a heated row in the main villa.

But viewers will never get to see it after it was left out of the original edit.

The Love Island bombshell entered the villa on day 10 before being dumped just 16 days later.

She opened up in a new TikTok video where she shared some behind-the-scenes secrets.

But while shedding light on her experience, Ellie, 25, claims that two Islanders almost came to blows over a challenge which left one of them in tears.

Ellie claims that several of the female Islanders ended up arguing about Ron after the 'Ladiators' challenge.

Addressing her followers on the video-sharing app, the business development executive said: "The producers asked us to deliberate about who was the sexiest dancer and who did the best performance.

"What you didn’t see was the girls immediately started arguing. Tanyel, Lana and Samie were immediately like 'we need Ron to win.'

"And then all of us were like 'ew why would we pick Ron?' and it's not like we were Ron haters but so much had happened at that point and we were sick of Ron and didn't want to reward his behaviour."

The Norwich-born star added: "Immediately Olivia was like 'I'm not having it, Casey's over there crying, I'm not picking Ron.'

"Then Tanyel was going back at Olivia about picking Ron and me and Tanya were just standing there.

"We were p***ing ourselves and they were just going back and forth and the producers were like 'stop arguing, stop, stop.'"

Ellie later claimed that the group were told to "hold the chat" at times if they wanted to discuss something so they could film the conversations at a later time.

"So they made them 'hold the chat' because they wanted to put the camera in," she explained.

The star also claimed that Olivia was left upset as she accused Samie of "stealing her friends" following her entrance into the villa.

Ellie's comments come after fellow Islander Anna-May Robey praised the bosses behind the show after she admitted to struggling during her time in the villa.

Speaking on Johnny Seifert's Secure The Insecure Podcast, she said: "To be fair, their production team and they've got welfare in there.

"You know, we've got psychologists that you can speak to, they're all really good when like you're kind of struggling, they're all there for you."
