Who is Omer Majid - the YouTube prankster who broke into Love Island villa

Love Island bosses are still reeling after a YouTuber broke into the villa to record footage in hopes of becoming a viral sensation.

The video captured from the security breach shows a vlogger, Omer Majid, recording himself crawling through the Majorcan property.

In the grainy video, a voice can be heard saying “you’re trespassing” at which point the prankster is pictured being escorted off the premises.

It does not appear that he gained access to the inside of the villa, where the contestants were located.

Omer has revealed how he managed to breach the security around the villa in Majorca after planning his route for days.

Speaking to the Daily Star, he said he jetted out to the island with the sole mission to gain access.

Omer revealed: "I planned it for a while. I literally flew here just to do that from the UK.

"I found the area vicinity through internet searches.

"Then I drove around for about five hours the day before scouting the location trying to find an entry."

He added: “It was really secure to be honest. They had people patrolling all the time and watch towers.

"But then I found a possible way in via the trees and hills."

While unable to penetrate the inside of the villa, Omer's YouTube channel hosts a number of different prank videos showcasing the vlogger's dogged determination.

Among the current titles are 'Fake Health Inspector' in which Omer and a companion don hi vis vests to trick the staff at a Prezzo restaurant into thinking they're there to do a random inspection.

However, after flirting with a customer and feigning an argument with his 'colleague', Omer soon realises the jig is up and tells his companion: "We need to get out now" much to the anger of the restaurant staff.

Other titles on the channel include: 'Will you subscribe to my Only Fans prank?' and 'How I got free stuff from luxury stores in London'.

Regarding his recent stunt a Love Island spokeswoman said: “A security breach was identified and an intruder was removed from the villa with immediate effect. T

"he safety of both our islanders and our production crew remains our primary concern."
