SECRET LOVE ISLAND SHOW - REVEALED!

The new series of ITV2’s Love Island is already bringing the drama, including some very steamy moments. But although the bust-ups and make-ups are unrehearsed, nothing is left to chance and producers film secret “dress rehearsals” before each series starts.

A group of young singletons, who are main villa rejects hoping to get bumped up to the actual show, are flown out to Majorca to spend time in the villa, testing out every element, from camera angles to drinking games. This all happens before the real cast have even landed on Spanish shores.

Series three’s Tyne-Lexy Clarson, 25, and series one winner Jessica Hayes, 29, were both villa guinea pigs…

HOW THE DRY RUN WORKS

Tyne-Lexy took part in Love Island after filming the dry run – the only girl from her year to do so. “It’s like a dress rehearsal before the main event,” she explains, adding that it helped her prepare for the real show.

“During the dry run we slept in the villa for three nights and all got to know each other. When I went onto the actual show I was already familiar with the entire layout of the place.”

Jess adds, “It’s exactly the same as the main show. We’re still recorded 24/7 because the behind-the-scenes people need to practise the filming and editing.”
