Love Islanders get a DAY OFF each week to relax on the beach but are ‘watched like a hawk’ reveals Kem Cetinay
LOVE Islanders are treated to one day off every week to relax on the beach - but are watched like a hawk.
Ex-Love Islander Kem Cetinay made the bombshell revelation today and told how islanders are stripped of their microphones and are allowed to wander free with NO cameras tracking their every move.
And Kem revealed it's the reason why Love Island doesn't air on ITV2 on Saturday nights.
He explained on ITV's This Morning: "People are going mad on Twitter as to why it's not on Saturdays but I know why. Most people don't know this but islanders get a day off every week from the show.
"Normally we go to the beach and we just chill out. There are no microphones.
"So what happens is, when you take the microphone off you're not allowed to talk about anything to do with the show or the couples, you have to talk about home-life and things. And you're being watched by an eagle hawk, by the producers because they don't want you to talk about what's going on.
"You can all sit and chat but they are careful what you talk about, there's someone watching you like a hawk."
Kem insisted it's essential for the smooth running of the show, as a team of expert cleaners spritz the villa and islanders get time off from "playing the games" and "flirting" all day.
He added: "What happens is it gives them a day to clean the whole villa ... It's more a day off from all the intense games and dates, deciding who you like and don't like and flirting with girls of course.
Kem won Love Island 2017 and his fun fact left the presenters gobsmacked and Phil wanted to know if couplings could happen on the beach.
Holly squealed: "What, are you joking?"
Phillip said: "Sorry what, so couples could happen on the beach?"
Kem continued: "You can all sit and chat but they are quite careful with what you talk about because they want to make sure people at home can see it and they can get it on video.
"But at the same time it's their day to clean the villa, get everything done and give you a day off ... that's a fact that a lot of people don't know."
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
