If there's one thing Love Island stars love more than becoming influencers, it's spilling the tea on all the behind-the-scenes villa secrets.

And the Love Island 2024 Islanders are no different. Whether it's revealing the Islander who got an 'unfair' edit, getting told off by producers, or the conversations they were banned from having- we've heard it all.

And now the Islanders have opened up about refilming scenes in the villa and, it turns out, it happened a lot.

During an exclusive chat with Closer Online, Casa Amor bombshell Hugo Godfroy explained, "A behind the scenes secret is probably [there's] a little bit start stop, especially when we're in Casa.

"Obviously the cameras and the producers, they had to control both villas so you know, when we were filming [in Casa], they [the main villa] couldn't film.

"So it was a bit on and off and obviously when it rains, the cameras all get stopped. You have to put the same trunks on as you had the day before and refilm as if it's that day."

How bizarre. Now that we think about it we've literally never seen it rain on Love Island. It's a bit like never seeing Islanders get in the pool.

And Hugo isn't the only Love Island star to discuss refilming scenes due to the weather. It was during her second villa stint - on All Stars - that Liberty Poole said, "On the beach vibes day thing we had such a long day.

"We got up really early, we were there all day and then it basically started tipping it down with rain.

"So we were inside for four hours, we were all so tired. It was the night me and Mitch [Taylor] got eliminated and by that time they were like, 'Are you excited about tonight? What's the vibe?'

"And none of us had any chat left. We'd been waiting four hours for the rain to stop."

Wow. Not only were they sat around for four hours waiting but then they get dumped?

Those producers are savage.
