Love Island's Kem Cetinay was nicknamed 'the rabbit' over his saucy antics in the villa

Love Island hunk Kem Cetinay has revealed his co-stars nicknamed him "the rabbit" after his saucy antics in the villa.

The reality star and TV presenter, 25, confessed he got the name after being so rampant on the ITV2 dating show back in 2017 - claiming he was "at it" and often digging out places to have sex with his ex-girlfriend Amber Davies.

"Mate, it's quite bad. Everyone that was on there called me the rabbit, I was at it," he shared on Jamie Laing's podcast Private Parts.

Kem added how he now regrets his actions during his time on the show, as his grandparents were watching.

He continued: "Probably one of my regrets… It is a little bit of a regret because my nan and granddad watched it. Look, I could have still done it, I didn't need to do it to the extent I did."

Kem explained he was "going a bit mad" at points due to having such a high sex drive and that it was "intense" as producers had their watchful eyes on the contestants at all times.

"There were points I was looking for new places in the villa to try. I don't know what show I thought I was doing but I was going a bit mad at points!

"They gave us a massive basket of condoms. You had to wear them, they would know if you didn't wear them, there are cameras everywhere, they know, they can hear. It is intense."

Kem went on to share that there was a "logger" who would keep a record of every word shared between Kem and Amber, even during sex.

He said: "I knew the fact I was getting watched but what I found out afterwards is in TV there is something called a logger, so they have to log every single word you say and one of my mate's girlfriends was the logger and he said to me, 'Mate you're a weird guy' and I was like 'Why?'

"And he was like, 'Some of the stuff my girlfriend was telling me you were saying, weird!'

"Now I think back to when I was laying there in the morning, whispering, saying some weird things to Amber, I'm thinking that must have been a weird conversation to listen to, I'm trying to be really sexy."

Kem and Amber were crowned the winners of Love Island that year.

They went on to have a six month relationship after leaving the villa, before they split.
