Love Island shock as two stars 'acting like strangers despite hooking up before the show'

Two Love Island stars have reportedly hooked up with each other before this year's series even began. The Casa Amor duo is said to have taken part in ITV's unfilmed rehearsal in May, where they joined a number of fake cast members to test out camera angles and general life in the villa.

It has been reported the two, Ty Isherwood and Lauren Wood, were later invited back onto the show as the Casa Amor cast and have been acting like they don't know each other despite a brief fling. They said: "Ty and Lauren are acting like they’ve only just met but that’s far from the case."

“They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenges," they said to The Sun.

According to the insider, Ty and Lauren also 'saw each other on the outside' before they were invited back onto the show by ITV producers.

The Mirror have reached out to ITV for comment. Meanwhile, Lauren and Harrison narrowly avoided being dumped earlier this week after Shakira and Ty chose to dump Tommy and Lucy - saving Harrison and Lauren and Conor and Emma.

The pair seemed to celebrate their survival in the bedroom - with fans left shocked as they saw Harrison ask Harry for a condom. As the Islanders settled down for the night, Harrison was seen reaching over to Helena and Harry's bed via the night cam, as he asked: "Do you have a condom?"

Harry and Helena could be seen in hysterics as Helena quickly pulled one out the drawer, with Harry passing it over. The couple then got under the covers, as the cameras panned to them kissing.

Fans were shocked by the move and rushed to social media to share their thoughts, with one user writing: "Did Harry just pass a condom to Lauren and Harrison???! I didn’t know I was watching too hot to handle."

A second shocked fan said: "I have never. In all my years seen someone ask for a condom on #loveisland. Like yayyyyy for sexual safety but that is tooooooooooo raz."

"Do you have a condom? Is going to haunt me until the day that I die #LoveIsland," said a third.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX*
