Love Island rocked by security breach as intruder breaks into villa whilst contestants were sleeping

Love Island has been rocked by a security breach after an intruder broke into the villa whilst the contestants were asleep.

Reports claim that a YouTuber broke into the lavish pad to record footage.

Prankster Omid Majid filmed himself on a live broadcast showing the incident, in which he could be seen crawling through the villa.

The live broadcast showed him in a corridor before he can be seen underneath a pair of bright fluorescent lights.

A voice then was heard in the clip shouting “you’re trespassing” before the joker was dragged out.

In the footage, Omid was then seen walking down a path with rows of fairy lights visible behind him.

Security guards quickly spotted the man and managed to get him off the property after discovering the trespasser.

The villa is guarded by a team of security guards and it is said that they regularly send people away who are trying to get a glimpse inside the famous house.

The Daily Star reported a spokesperson for Love Island said: "Last night a security breach was identified and an intruder was removed from the villa with immediate effect.

"The safety of both our islanders and our production crew remains our primary concern.

"As part of our stringent Covid safety measures, the villa area that was trespassed has been fully deep cleaned before being made accessible again to the islanders and crew."

It is understood that Omid did not come into contact with any of the islanders, who are believed to have been sleeping at the time.

In 2018 former Love Island Alex Miller told how the Love Island villa is under constant threat of a security breach with at least five attempted break-ins a day.

Irish Mirror has contacted a rep for comment.
