When we caught up with Love Island's Jess White and Hugo Godfroy, she proved that she really IS the prize. For tea spilling, at least.

The 2024 series has been wild and, let's be honest, Jess has been involved in a lot of it - her love triangle with Ronnie Vint, her feud with Harriett Blackmore, and saying the wrong name during the Casa Amor recoupling, she kept us entertained.

However it turns out one of her unaired scenes involved her telling a little white lie and getting in trouble with producers.

When we caught up with Jess and Hugo we had to ask if were ever told off by producers like many of their co-stars and it turns out they both were.

"I actually didn't get into trouble that much you know. The production staff actually said I'm one of the most well behaved people in there.

"That's a shock probably for everyone but yeah, I actually very rarely got in trouble," she exclusively told us.

She then recalled a time where she did get told off and sent to bed by producers.

"I was quite well behaved to a degree. I got in trouble one night, I told the guys when we were playing Never Have I Ever (before Hugo came), I'd had two drinks and I felt really drunk and I remember saying to the girls, I feel really tipsy.

"Then [the producers] had me in the Beach Hut and were like 'Are you drunk?' and I was like, 'No, I'm not drunk' and they'd be like, 'Jess you do realise that you've been mic'd up 24 hours a day and you've just told the girls you're drunk, so I think you are drunk' and I was like, 'Oh I'm really sorry for that' and I was really scared.

"But I was fine. I had some water and went to bed. It was like being told off by my mum... Don't tell people you're tipsy even if you are tipsy because you'll get in trouble," she joked.

And it turns out that Casa's Hugo was also told off and it was because of the football.

"I was told off in the villa all the time, just for talking to production.

"Maybe going out for a vape too often and just talking about football, trying to get the football score. The whole time I was trying to get the football score and they were winding me up about it."

Hugo wasn't the only 2024 Islander who vapes, Samantha Kenny spilled all the tea on her co-stars who were nipping off for a puff.
