Love Island producers forced to intervene after boys snub bombshell

Love Island bosses were forced to intervene after a new arrival was snubbed by the boys.

Producers are heavily involved with what goes on in the villa and often ask the islanders directly to go to the hut to discuss certain topics. Several ex-islanders have revealed a tannoy is used throughout the house to communicate with them from outside of the set.

A source speaking to the Daily Star said: "The producers are very heavily involved in pretty much all of it. They spend the majority of their time watching everything through the gallery and they talk to the islanders through the tannoy.

"For example, they will call out an islander's name and say 'Can you come to the beach hut and speak about this or this person?'."

The source revealed there was a case when bosses had to force the boys to interact with a new bombshell after she was snubbed because no one was interested in her.

The source added: "There are runners up there and they said there was a girl that went in as bombshell. In an ideal world, those lads spot that bombshell and run back into the bedroom saying 'There's an islander out there, she's so fit'.

"This time, the boys went over to introduce themselves but no one wanted to chat to her because no one fancied her, so later, all the lads were sat on the terrace and they were just slating this girl."

"So then the producers had to come up to the villa to speak to the lads and be like, 'Look, lads, you can't be talking like that. You've all got to go and make and effort with this girl.'

"So against their will, all of these lads had to go over and crack on with this girl but literally none of them fancied her. They were all slating her being like 'I'm not doing it, you're doing it. Producers had to beg them to chat with her."
