Love Island's Aaron explains why everyone's always wearing sunglasses in bed

Ever wondered why Love island contestants put on sunglasses the moment they wake up? We have.

In every season of the hit ITV2 dating show, the islanders are seen grabbing their shades first thing in the morning.

But it's not because they don't want the nation to see their tired faces, or because they want to look fashionable from the moment they wake up.

Former Islander Aaron Francis, 24 - who took part in this years season of the show - dished the dirt, and there's a pretty simple explanation for it.

Aaron spoke about the mystery on TikTok, where he also shared his thoughts on recent episodes and how he's coping since leaving the villa.

In the clip, he explained that the reason everyone wore sunglasses was that the lights in the villa are just blindingly bright.

During a Q&A, he told his 155k followers: "Yo, I don’t think you guys understand how bright those lights are. They are blindingly bright. That’s why everyone’s wearing sunglasses in the morning.

"I used to watch the previous series and be like, ‘why are you wearing sunglasses in bed?’ And now I know why. It’s bright and it wakes you up immediately, I promise."

Fans of the show were shocked to find out the true reason, with one person admitting: "Oh I thought they just put them on in the morning to cover their face."

Another joked: "They're trying to blind them!"

While a third said: "I need to get some of those lights."

Aaron was dumped from the villa with his beau Lucinda Strafford after the public were tasked with voting for their favourite couple.

Aaron previously opened up about his job as a luxury events host in a chat with Faye Winter and Teddy Soares, where he revealed he's mingled with celebs and royals.

After being quizzed about who he's worked alongside, Aaron revealed he "looked after Christina Aguilera for a bit."

But according to Aaron, she wasn't "that nice", as he said: "She was quite quiet, she wasn't that nice.

"Her friends were a bit rude as well."
