Despite it being like a million degrees out

Love Island contestants strut around the infinity pool in tiny bikinis and swimming trunks, but they are rarely ever spotted swimming in the pool which makes zero sense to us because it looks perfect for cannonballing.

As the show is filmed out in Mallorca, temperatures often soar but the sweltering stars don't seem to be making any use of the villas pool and viewers have had the same thought.

Recently dumped Love Island 2023 contestant George Fensom was answering some fan questions on his TikTok and one follower demanded the truth about the swimming pool.

Asking, "Would you ever actually go in the pool?" George answered with a more detailed then probably necessary response.

"You can go in the pool pretty much whenever you want," he explained. "The only time they might get funny about it is if you're about to do a challenge."

George also added, "Or if it starts raining because it's just health and safety."

Health and safety? But the pool is made of water and rain is, erm, also water but who are we to quiz the Love Island producers?

"If you go in you can't wear your mic, basically, that's the only issue" he continued. "There was quite a few times we were in there but it just doesn't really get shown."

Previous Islanders have also chatted about the pool, Love Island 2016 bombshell, Kady McDermott spoke to OK! Online about the issues, "We didn’t actually get in the pool a lot because it’s so cold. Because we went into the villa at the end of May and it’s just about getting in to summer, the pool hasn’t been heated or anything."

The stunning Love Island villa is situated high up in the hills, on the outskirts of a small town called Sant Llorenç des Cardassar.

As well as being a luxury villa with all the amenities, the Love Island villa boasts the biggest private pool in the Balearics.

Rebecca turned pretty much all of the boys' heads when she entered the villa in week two, setting two of the boys' heart rates through the roof during the sexy dance challenge and going on dates in the hideaway with Connor and Callum, and she made no secret of the fact she was there to step on the girls' toes and steal their menfolk.

Connaugh Howard

Big Connaugh (with a G) was the first bit of absolute PHWOAR in the 2020 winter series, and despite getting pied off by Sophie he wasn't short of admirers, with Siânisse, Jess and bombshell Rebecca all fighting over him.

Police officer Mike insisted, "it should be illegal to be as sexy as me," and after watching him in the villa for just a few days, we were inclined to agree. At the time of writing he seems genuinely into Leanne, and his sexy dulcet tones have us a little hot under the collar.

Rochelle Humes' little sister Sophie had the boys fighting over her as soon as she stepped foot in the villa, which made a nice change from the usual turn of events. Both big Connagh (with a G) and little Connor (OG Connor) wanted to couple up with her, but she eventually chose OG Connor (for some unknown reason, see below).

Leanne Amaning

Great things come in small packages, and Leanne is the petit beauty we were rooting for from Day ONE.

Ovie Soko6 of 28

Ovie Soko

Let's not pretend that Ovie is not the fittest person we've ever seen on TV. Not only is he dreamy but remember when he took India Reynolds away from all of that drama with Jordan Hames and Anna Vakili? Love him.

Amber Gill7 of 28

Amber Gill

Amber was confident from day one (remember when she questioned whether Callum MacLeod could pull off any sunglasses?) and no wonder she's absolutely gorgeous. She won the show alongside Greg O'Shea and after he dumped her via text she went on to become a millionaire - yes, really.

Anton Danyluk

When Anton first entered the villa he was quick to move on from Amy Hart to Lucie Donlan (literally on day one) but we won us over with his loveable charm. Even though we're not over him unfollowing Molly-Mae Hague on Instagram he's still fit.

India wowed the nation when she arrived in the villa alongside Harley Brash and for good reason too; the model is absolutely gorgeous and came third alongside Ovie.

Michael Griffiths10 of 28

Michael Griffiths

He treated Amber Gill and Joanna Chimonides like trash in the villa but there's no denying it - Michael is fit. And him starring in Dreamboys is proof...

Maura Higgins11 of 28

Maura Higgins

Maura is one of the best contestants that's ever gone on Love Island; from trying to seduce Tommy Fury to putting Tom Walker in his place we were obsessed from the get-go. We almost forgot to mention that she's absolutely stunning; no wonder she was a model and Grid Girl before her stint in the villa.

Jack Fowler

Jack Fowler is practically perfect in every physical way. He melted hearts around the nation when he proved to be the hottest dad ever during the baby challenge.

Megan Barton Hanson13 of 28

Megan Barton Hanson

Most guys in the villa are obsessed with Megan, and so are we. The reason she managed to split up Wes and Laura within just 24 hours is because she's sizzling hot.

Adam Collard14 of 28

Adam Collard

Love him or loathe him (we're guessing it's the latter, for many) Adam is undeniably BUFF. Those dark eyes, abs and tatts do a good job of hiding his oily snake scales.

Samira Mighty15 of 28

Samira Mighty

Samira is a natural beauty who inexplicably gets overlooked in the villa. She's also definitely our best dressed and looks SMOKING in her orange bikini.

Josh Denzel16 of 28

Josh Denzel

Josh is Mr Smooth with his laidback attitude and sharp style. Oh and those abs, obvs. That nose-ring just totally does it for us, too.

Zara McDermott17 of 28

Zara turned Adam's head as soon as she strutted into the villa with her olive skin and lusciously long locks. She sure knows how to rock a high-thigh bikini bottom.

Mike further proved that the hottest contestants are often the latecomers (Ovie, Adam and Jack are all proof). He even nearly won Olivia Attwood over from Chris Hughes...

Montana Brown19 of 28

Montana Brown

Montana Brown - advocate of the underboob trend - rated herself a 'solid eight out of 10'. We disagree - she's obviously a full 10.

Chris Hughes20 of 28

King of the quiff Chris nearly ripped out of every tee-shirt he somehow managed to pull over those bulging muscles.

Jess Shears21 of 28

Jess Shears

We were obsessed with Jess' model good looks and caramel skin - she should have lasted longer in there.

No wonder personal trainer Alex caught fellow villa babe Montana Brown's eye. We can't cope.

Those curly locks and that northern accent swooooon

Olivia Buckland24 of 28

Olivia Buckland

We loved Olivia's feistiness, with her tattoos and nose-ring scoring extra HOTHOTHOT points.

Alex Bowen25 of 28

Alex Bowen

Of course Olivia's husband Alex Bowen had to be on the list. He's one of the best things to come out of Love Island 2016.

Terry Walsh26 of 28

Terry Walsh

This one's for all the tattoo lovers out there. It's just a shame they covered his impeccable pecks.

Max Morley27 of 28

Max Morley

There's a reason Yorkshire lad Max won the first Love Island series, with his sun kissed hair and sporty bod.

Cally Jane Beech28 of 28

Cally Jane Beech

Cally Jane Beech - who's surname couldn't be more apt (well, unless it was spelt with an 'a') - had eyes bluer and deeper than the pool.
