Ex-Love Islander reveals one 'strict' rule all stars must follow when choosing outfits for the evening

There are a handful of clothing staples that Love Island contestants seemingly cram into their suitcases year upon year.

A tiny weenie bikini? Check. A high-glam maxi dress for the grand finale? Yep. A pair of impossibly high heels? Got them!

Apparently, however, as well as fashion must-haves, there's actually one type of vacation garm that producers have strictly banned from the show.

And who better to have made the announcement than an ex-islander themself?

Enter former Casa Amor 2024 bombshell Lucy Greybill.

If you're struggling to cast your mind all the way back to this high-drama segment of the show - which sees couples chopping and changing partners left, right and centre - allow us to fill you in...

As well as five other trouble-causing ladies, Glasgow beauty Lucy entered the villa with the hope of catching someone's eye, before she struck up a connection with islander Wil Anderson.

Sadly, however, their love wasn't to last, and Lucy was dumped from the show, along with three of the other Casa girls who failed for form a strong enough connection with the boys.

As we say, however, despite not making it all the way to the end of what has been a head-spinning season of the dating show, 26-year-old Lucy has since hit the headlines for exposing some behind the scenes Love Island antics.

In particular, this week, the ex-bombshell has disclosed a strict clothing rule that all islanders must follow - that is, to absolutely avoid fashion that causes a 'strobing' affect.

So much so, that Lucy says contestants would be vetted by producers each evening, to check whether their outfit would reflect badly to those viewing at home.

"Some outfits would react to the cameras - specifically mesh," she wrote on Instagram this week.

"We had to get strobe tested at night time.This is why the girls end up sharing clothes or using the eBay wardrobe, which was a lifesaver."

During her time on the show, Lucy shocked viewers by locking lips with quantity surveyor Wil, 23, on a few occasions.

Whilst fans knew that the Scottish beauty had come in to do what she had to do - initiate drama and steal herself a man - Wil's antics found him in hot water, being that his partner Uma had already become a firm favourite with the public.

Wil eventually decided to stick with partner Uma Jammeh - who themselves left the villa in a shock exit last week.

After new bombshell Reuben opted to steal her from Wil amid a jaw-dropping recoupling - leaving him 'single and therefore dumped' - Uma immediately announced that if he was going, she was going too, leaving both viewers and their cast-mates in a state of shock.
