Exactly why Love Island 2021 contestants wear sunglasses in bed

Love Island fans get to see cast members all day every day as they lounge by the pool, hit the outdoor gym and gossip on the beanbags.

However, many have spotted a rather odd habit each Islander does every morning.

Rather than going to brush their teeth or make breakfast, Islanders often grab their sunglasses first thing in the morning, despite being inside and in bed.

Their morning regime has caused quite a bit of confusion on social media, especially as some Islanders actually wake up wearing their glasses.

One tweeted: "Why do they wear sunglasses as soon as they wake up #LoveIsland."

Another quizzed: "The first thing you do when you wake up is put on sunglasses?".

A third viewer also shared: "I’m not really understanding the whole waking up and reaching for sunglasses."

So, what is the reason behind the stars waking up in their shades after a deep sleep?

One social media user hinted they could know the answer as to why they do this, according to OK Magazine.

They claimed past contestants have revealed it is because the bedroom light is very bright first thing in the morning.

Elma Pazar, who starred on Love Island in 2019 alongside Maura Higgins as a bombshell, also set the record straight on the habit.

She replied to a fan: "The light is so bright when it flicks on and also I don’t know many people that wake up pretty in the mornings, the more of the face hidden before it’s washed the better."

Fans have also asked why we never see the Islanders eating.

The cast has to prepare breakfast themselves which is why we sometimes see them eating a piece of toast or trying to fry an egg.

But lunch and dinner aren’t filmed unless there is a couple going on a date.

This is because the islanders are observed at these times by behind-the-scenes staff to make sure each of them are eating a sufficient amount, according to Closer magazine.

The girls and boys are also separated at meal times as another way to make sure they are all eating enough.
