Bish please!
ITV have released a statement after one of this year's contestants, Luca Bish, claimed show bosses encouraged the Islanders to crack on in Casa Amor.
He alleged producers warned the boys not to, "f**k it up," before the new girls arrived.

The Casa Amor shock twist usually happens halfway through the season, and it sees the main boys and girls split up.
This year, the girls were sent to the Casa Amor villa to mingle with a bunch of new guys, while the original boys stayed in the main villa to mingle with a bunch of new girls.

Luca remained loyal to Gemma, but came under fire for urging the other lads to crack on.
In an interview on Jamie Laing's Private Parts podcast, he explained why this was.
"Not a lot of people know, we were standing there as boys - we got called to the outside of the villa - and before we went in, it was like, 'You lot are smashing it this year. The show is doing unbelievable! This is Casa Amor, don’t f*** it up.'"
"I think every boy knew what that meant, hence why you had chaos the first two days or whatever with the boys"
Luca continued, "I went to the beach hut and it was like, 'Come on, who do you fancy the most?'"
"And, 'Why are the boys being such p***ies? They can’t bottle it now.'"

"I was like, 'OK, I know what you’re saying,' went out there and called them a bunch of p***ies, told them you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do."
ITV however, have vehemently denied these allegations.
In a statement to Metro, they said: 'There is no truth to these claims.'

ITV concluded, 'The decisions made by the Islanders are their own.'
