We sat down with Eyal Booker and he revealed all the secrets about the show the producers don't want you to know
The nation is obsessed with Love Island and no wonder - who doesn't love watching strangers go on holiday for free any maybe find love?
During Love Island 2018 we've seen a lot of drama; Niall Aslam leaving the villa, Georgia Steel and Jack Fowler's infamous kiss and Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer falling head over heels in love.
It's been interesting to say the least.
Check out: From Matt Terry to Towie's Ricky Rayment - the most hilarious Love Island fan comparisons
Love Island lookalikes 2018
1 of 12Zara McDermott looks like Lola from Shark Tale
Lola is one sassy fish, just like Zara. That hair, those eyes, the pout - they basically share the same face. Hang on, how can a human look EXACTLY like a beautiful fish?
2 of 12Megan Barton Hanson looks like a snake
Many fans have pointed out her likeness to Hollywood star Margot Robbie, but most think she's got secret snaky scales under that FLAWLESS face.
3 of 12Sam Bird is basically Matt Terry
We don't even need to explain this one. Just look. The X Factor's Matt Terry and Sam are the same person and we won't hear anything otherwise.
4 of 12Eyal Booker looks like Mr Tumnus
Awww, wee Eyal and his cute curly locks has been compared to A LOT of celebs and characters. Our favourite (and most accurate) has to be Narnia's Mr Tumnus.
5 of 12Niall Aslam looks like Zayn Malik
We were so sad to see Niall Aslam leave the villa after just a few days, especially as he shares the same suave, boyband looks as former One Directioner Zayn Malik.
6 of 12Rosie Williams looks like Catherine Zeta Jones
OK, maybe it's mostly because they're both dark-haired, Welsh beauties - but we totally think Rosie has a very similar look to actress Catherine Zeta Jones. Fans missed this one, but what do you think?
7 of 12Wes Nelson is a mug
Need we say more?
8 of 12Adam Collard looks like Bruce from Finding Nemo
Another predator high in the Love Island villa food chain, Adam has shown some sharky behaviour. However, like Bruce here, he did show some remorse about his bad ways.
9 of 12Samira Mighty's sunglasses icon is Mrs Lovett
Samira loves these Victorian style glasses. Each time we see her wearing them (which is a lot) we can only think of Helena Bonham Carter's character Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd.
10 of 12Kendall Rae-Knight is twins with Kady McDermott
Ok, this one is FREAKY. Former Love Islander Kady McDermott has the same face as Kendall, right? We can't stop looking. It's too much.
11 of 12Alex George is a pink salmon
Alex is a posh salmon blini with a big smear of sun cream (well, cream cheese). It's the canape no one wants a bite of.
12 of 12Paul Knops and Ricky Rayment are basically the same person
Has anyone ever seen our great, lost Towie love and Paul Knops in the same room at the same time? That's all we're saying.
However, there's been a lot of speculation on how real Love Island actually is, so we decided to sit down with Eyal and ask him all those burning Love Island question that the producers probably don't want us to know.
How do all the stars keep their nails and hair in order?
Why do the Love Islanders get up to that isn't show on TV?
How much alcohol do all the stars get?
Do you have to reshoot scenes?
During our exclusive interview with him, he admitted that this year wasn't the first time Love Island producers approached him.
He explained: "It kind of happened a few years in a row but I just kept umming and ahhing and then [this year] just felt like the right time."
Who knew, ey?
Eyal isn't the first star to speak out about what happens off camera, Love Island 2016 winner Scott Thomas spoke to Closer magazine and revealed they got to leave the villa without the camera.
"Every two weeks, we had a beach day, where the producers would take the girls and the boys separately to spend a day on the beach to relax away from the cameras and switch off."
Last years star Theo Campbell also confessed to us that he had to reshoot a scene following on of his dates: "If people stutter or stumble of their words, producers would allow you to re-shoot bits.
"And when you go outside the villa on dates, it's with a camera crew, so you sometimes have to re-shoot. I went on a date and the mic and camera didn't work, so we had to re-shoot some bits again."
