CHYNA Ellis says Ibiza Weekender bosses worked her and fellow reps “like dogs” – and she even begged them to allow her some rest from being so sleep deprived.

The Love Island star told the Sun’s Bizarre column she would regularly get as little as two hours kip.

She could not go to the gym and was fed burger and chips every day as well as going out and drinking.

Chyna, 23, said: “Everyone thinks it’s an easy job and fun but they make you work. You get s*** food – you get chips and a burger every day and don’t get to go to the gym. I have a healthy lifestyle.

“You don't get to go to the gym. You'd get home at five and you won't get to sleep until six because you'd have to get the guests to sleep before you and then you'd have to get up at about nine o'clock. They work you like a dog on that show.

“It's not just a holiday and it really p****s me off because people say, 'oh they're pretending, they get days off' stuff like that. But we really don't. And you're constantly having to be asked to work and you get told off. If you're not in your position legit the producers will be like, 'get in your position now'. And you get told off. It's ridiculous. You really do get treated like you're actually at work.”

The Love Island star quit the show on Sunday night’s finale opting for then boyfriend Jordan Davies, 26, over her job.

Throughout the series fans saw her struggle to get out of bed as she became the second person to join the fellow ITV2 series after Rykard Jenkins.

In one scene, head rep David Potts dragged her out of bed as she tried to have a lie-in.

She told the Sun there is little time for a nap during the day if they’re lucky not to go on an excursion.

Chyna revealed she told producers she had to get some sleep because she was so sleep deprived.

She said: “We're working and we're also filming a TV show so it would be nice to have a little consideration and more sleep.

“During the day we have the guests – we have to speak to the guests and you have to go out on a day trip with them.

“Even when you don’t go out with them they (producers) ask you to do chats and do film certain things as well so it's not like you get massive down time. I could get an hour kip.

“There were times where I didn't and I told them I needed to get some sleep because they can't be expecting me to living off two hours sleep and drinking until five o'clock in the morning.

“That was towards the end and I made them. I told them I can't do this, this should be illegal it's not fair.

“If you don't drink with these people and you don't do shots they think you're boring and mark you down for that.

“Then you end up drinking and end up feeling worse the next day.

“It was a struggle and I'm not like a machine. Some girls can do this for three months but that's not me. I need some gym, some vegetables down me.”
