We've been watching Love Island for nine (NINE) whole years - and that's not including the celeb version - so we can confidently say that we're experts on the show.

We know EVERYTHING there is to know about the cast, crew and all the behind the scenes stuff.

The Love Island 2024 stars getting banned from taking certain things into the villa? They've spilled the tea to us.

The Islanders getting scouted for the show? We've done a deep dive.

All the rules the Islanders have to abide by or they're chucked out? We've got the guide.

We've also had plenty of Islanders tell us about secret chats or things they were told off for saying. Remember Love Island 2019? Well, Arabella Chi was got in trouble for calling her co-star a 'bully'.

Savage.

So when we spoke to series 11 winner Mimii Ngulube she opened up about the unaired chats she had with Matilda Draper about their religion.

Speaking exclusively to Closer Online, she said, "Me and Matilda spoke about our faith all the time.

"She was telling me that on the way up to villa she was listening to Jireh."

She went on to add, "We [me and Josh] prayed together too.

"[It was good] especially when you're really stressed. I'd take an extra long shower just to say what I needed to say, and then afterwards, you just felt better."

Cuuuute.

We'd previously seen Mimii chat about her faith with Ayo Odukoya during their date on the boat. She also spoke to Josh about her favourite Bible story but we had no idea she spoke to Matilda too.

You learn something new every day, ey?
