The Love Island production team has been dealing with quite an unusual problem - ostriches!
As the new Islanders entered the villa this weekend to meet their matches, producers were trying to keep a herd of ostriches at bay. The birds have set up camp beside the new location for this year’s series.
The ostriches, which can run at up to 45mph and are capable of kicking a human to death, descended on the villa and started pecking around the grounds.

A source said: "Producers have to be careful as they have powerful legs and are known to lash out when disturbed. They seem very interested in what’s going on inside, so the team have been told to be wary, and humans can easily rile them up."
On Monday's episode, the girls will find out who the public have voted for them to be coupled up with.
It is a shake-up hake-up to the format as previously they stepped forward for someone based solely on their looks, reports The Mirror.
Host Laura Whitmore tells the girls: "For the first time ever, we asked the public to play cupid and pick the boy they thought you should couple up with."
Model Tasha Ghouri, 23, says, perhaps ominously: "I trust the public."
Find out who is paired with who tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
