Love Island is probably one of the sexiest shows on the telly box. It doesn’t get much hotter (literally and figuratively) than bunch of fit singletons chucked into a Spanish villa for eight weeks of fun in the sun, does it?
But we’ve learned some behind-the-scenes secrets about the show that are more stinky than sexy. Love Island 2018’s Wes Nelson previously told us all about the, erm, distinct aroma in the villa, while Demi Jones opened about the “disgusting” toilet and now Georgia Steel has revealed the rather pongy snack the Islanders can’t get enough of.
According to Georgia, the All Stars Islanders all loved chowing down on eggs, so it's no wonder the villa reeks.
“We had a nut free kitchen which was quite hard, but we had loads of eggs,” Georgia recently told us.
“Eggs are very, very popular - we went through so many. People would make like eggs, bagels, avocados.
“There are lots of avocados in there, tomatoes and things like that.”
Georgia isn't the only Islander to spill the beans (no pun intended) about the food in the villa as Love Island 2019 alumni Belle Hassan revealed what items are kept stocked up in the kitchen last year.
Speaking out in a video on her Instagram, Belle said, "This is probably my most asked question and everyone's like 'Do you eat and there?' and I'm like, 'Guys, they're not going to starve us are they?'
"So yes, they do absolutely, of course, feed us in there. They bring in catering twice a day so you get lunch and dinner and it's always really really nice food, to be honest. I'm not fussy at all, I'd literally eat anything."
She added, "In the cupboards, you don't have sweets or fizzy drinks. You occasionally get a bit of fruit juice. There's ham, eggs, cheese, and that kind of stuff. Some crisps as well, they were really nice. They were lightly salted, I still think about them to this day."
That's not all those as Belle also said that you could often find ice cream and milkshakes in the fridge on days when the Islanders got a takeway. Yep, they get takeaways in the villa.
Belle explained, "We have a takeaway once a week. Normally it's a McDonald's or a pizza you can pick from. That's it really. Normally everyone goes for McDonald's, it does slap to be honest. I used to get nuggets.
"That's why sometimes you'd see McFlurries or milkshakes in the fridge."
Spending the summer in a luxury villa AND getting a weekly Maccies? Those Islanders really are living the dream.
Casa Amor 2022 bombshells Jack Keating and Samuel Agbiji also lifted the lid on what the Islanders eat and, frankly, it sounds DELISH.
When asked what their favourite meals inside the villa were, Samuel said, “My favourite was probably the chicken. There was a specific one.”
“The jerk chicken we had was banging, big time,” Jack added.
As for their least favourite, Jack admitted the roast dinners were a bit too much to handle in the Spanish sunshine.
He explained, “We had a Sunday roast on Sunday and we literally had it as soon as we woke up so it was just a bit too much to eat. I had a couple pieces of turkey and I was ready for bed again.”

That wasn't the first time fans were given a glimpse into the food in the villa either as villa runner Bella spilled the beans on what the Islanders ask for in scenes aired on spin-off Aftersun in 2019.
She said, “I look after all of the Islanders’ wants and needs, which usually includes food. This is the back of the larder. This is where we put all of the Islanders’ requests. Islanders love snacks: crisps, cookies, chocolate – and they love coffee.”
Although viewers rarely get to see the Islanders eating on the main show, Bella confirmed they boys especially go through a LOT of food, adding, “All of the food is by a catering company and the guys eat a lot of food. A lot of protein. They will have three or four chicken breasts in one meal.”
She also revealed Anton Danyluk was always asking for breath spray, while Tommy Fury went through half a bottle of mayonnaise per day. That's a LOT of egg-based condiment for one man.
