Love Island 2021: Intruder breaks into the villa in security breach

ITV has confirmed an intruder had broken into the Love Island villa following a security breach.

It is understood the trespasser did not come into contact with any of the islanders - but the house has been deep cleaned before it could be used again in order to comply with the show's Covid restrictions.

A Love Island spokesman 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."

On Tuesday night's episode a row erupted in the villa after Hugo Hammond angered a number of the islanders after revealing his biggest turn-off is "fake" personalities and looks.

The 24-year-old PE teacher was forced to apologise to civil servant Sharon Gaffka, 25, and lettings manager Faye Winter, 26, who both said they have had cosmetic procedures done, after they criticised him for his remark.

Tuesday's episode also saw bombshells Millie Court and Lucinda Strafford enter the villa.

The pair arrived after the girls had been taken out and treated to a brunch.

Love Island continues at the later time tonight of 10pm on ITV2 .
