Love Island fans ridicule 'paddling pool' at villa but there could be good reason

The new villa in South Africa for this winter’s series of Love Island has been taken to new levels. The mansion is the biggest yet with plenty of outside space and a stunning mountain backdrop - but one particular feature has left viewers puzzled.

There are many spots for the islanders to sun themselves but also some more secluded shady areas to escape the heat, as well as the swimming pool to cool off in. After last night's episode (January 18), it became one of the biggest talking points on social media.

Each villa used as part of the show has had the pool as a focal point, from the big round pool in season one and two to the blocky rectangle-shaped pool used in last year’s series. This year's pool is said to be Olympic sized, but it's the shallow water that has got viewers talking.
