While life in the Love Island villa might seem glamorous at first glance – after all, who wouldn’t love a summer (or winter, if you’re an All Stars contestant) of love in a luxury villa? – but, after speaking to some previous Islanders, we’ve realised it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Sharing a bedroom and two bathrooms with a dozen other people is definitely NOT giving glam.
Just ask All Stars 2025 finalists Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard, who have lifted the lid (pardon the pun) on one of their co-stars’… unpleasant toilet habits.
Warning: perhaps save this article for when you’re not eating your breakfast/lunch/dinner.
When they paid us a visit at Closer HQ earlier this week, the loved up pair dished the dirt on everything from an unaired bust-up to their night in the Hideaway – and then talk turned to someone’s ‘very large dumps’.
Ekin told us, ‘Listen, there was always one person leaving dumps in the toilet, okay?’
Although the culprit remains a mystery, Curtis added, ‘I actually can probably bet a large amount of money on this that it wasn’t one of the boys. I think all the boys could bet a large amount of money.’
‘It wasn’t, it wasn’t’, the Love Island 2022 winner replied, before Curtis continued, ‘It was one of the girls.’
Ekin-Su said, ‘If it is one of the girls, shame on you. Honestly, that dump I saw, me and Catherine witnessed it a few times.
‘It happened every Wednesday and it was the size of my head. Very large. It was floating,’ while gesturing with her hands, and, yep, she wasn’t lying when she said LARGE.
That wasn’t the only toilet drama though as Curtis admitted there was ‘two toilet situations’.
Ekin explained, ‘Someone left a piece of chocolate in the toilet as well,’ before Curtis joked, ‘That wasn’t chocolate.’
GRIM.
