“If you have kids they will see that. You know what kids are like in school.

“But it's Love Island - some contestants go on there to find love, I don't know about all of them.

“Why is sex such a big thing? If they’re together from day one and they’re there to the end, it’s only seven weeks – not even two months - in the real world would you see someone every day? No

“So a relationship is going to progress in there. Let's face it - everybody does do it [have sex]. All I'll say is think before you do it.

“You've got to live with that for the rest of your life.

“Why not wait until the privacy in your own home? There's nothing wrong with that, but if it's in the hideaway I don't think there's a problem.

“I didn't do anything in the public bedroom I just made that biggest mistake of my life in the hideaway - and that's cost me everything.”

“But if they're in work, in an office, as a PT, it's still a job. Mine was still a job title.

“So the way it happened wasn't very nice. Everyone's got to do what they've got to do. I just hope they don't come out regretting it like I did.”
