This year's Love Island contestants have reportedly been struck down by a "nasty stomach bug" two weeks into the second ever winter series. A brand new cohort of singletons entered the sprawling luxury villa in South Africa on January 16, but it seems that some have found the lurgy rather than love.
The Sun reports that some kind of bug bombshell has shaken up the villa, leaving this year's islanders urgently rushing to the toilets. An insider from the ITV2 reality show has claimed that the illness has struck down a number of contestants and members of the production team.
An source told The Sun: "Love Island might look very sexy on the television but behind the scenes there has been a bug going around. As well as rushing to the Beach Hut for a chat, the islanders have also been dashing off to use the loo.
