The Love Island cast were forced to reshoot scenes if they stumbled when reading out text messages.
Maura Higgins, who came fourth in this year’s show with her partner Curtis Pritchard, has opened up on what happens during the popular dating show when the cameras stop rolling.
And it sounds as though there’s more to being an islander than lounging in the sun.
When chatting to RTE, the former ring girl was asked if they ever had to reshoot scenes when producers weren’t happy.
Pulling a face at the question, the outspoken reality star grinned: ‘Yes, yeah we did.’
She went on: ‘Just say for instance if a text came through and you weren’t as loud or you stumbled on your words, you’d have to retake.’
Which does make sense considering the texts are such a crucial part of the series.
‘Obviously because, I mean, some words I’d be like… I’d say it wrong and I’d be like, “aww…”‘ she explained: ‘I’d have to do it again. Which happened a lot actually.’
Maura recently landed several presenting jobs on This Morning, as well as a £500,000 deal with boohoo.
Chatting to Metro.co.uk ahead of her clothing line announcement, the 28-year-old confessed that she thought the public wouldn’t like her when leaving the villa.
And boy was she wrong.
‘I was expecting hate when I came out! I wasn’t expecting people to be so nice,’ she told us.
‘I thought I’d get hate because I was so opinionated in there, but it was all really nice. I was definitely surprised how positive it’s all been.’
And it seems as though we might be seeing even more of our Love Island fav, as she failed to quash those I’m A Celeb rumours.
‘I’ve heard a lot of things that I’m supposedly meant to be going on and you know what, who knows,’ she teased at the TV Choice awards.
‘Right now, I’m just taking every day as it comes and there are lots of exciting opportunities there but I can’t really comment on anything because I really don’t know.’
Love Island returns to ITV2 at the beginning of 2020.
