Love Island contestants have been told to be wary of baboons as monkeys wreak havoc near the villa. As this year's stars find love in the luxury South African villa, tourists and locals in the Western Cape area have been terrorised by a troop of baboons.
According to MailOnline, warning signs for "wild baboons" have been placed on roads in the area, warning motorists and passers-by of the potential dangers. Around an hour from Cape Town, where the series nine stars are currently sunning themselves, a British couple's rental car was close to being written off after a number of primates descended upon the vehicle.
The islanders have been advised by producers to be careful when cooling off in the pool and pulling each other for a chat on the day beds. Extra care must be taken when handling food outside, as the scent can easily be picked up by baboons, who could break into the villa's beautifully landscaped garden and pool area to grab a snack.
