Why do Love Island contestants wear sunglasses in bed?

Love Island contestants have got viewers talking as they're seen wearing sunglasses indoors immediately after rising from their beauty sleep in the morning.

Some have been speculating that the islanders are just hiding their unkempt morning faces from the cameras or simply looking cool first thing.

And there is even a theory that they put on the shades to stop fans noticing wandering eyes.

However, a former contestant on the show has put an end to the speculation by insisting they are worn because of the bright lights in the bedrooms - and because they don't look their best first thing.

Elma Pazar, who featured on Love Island in 2019 as a bombshell, said on Twitter: "The light is so bright when it flicks on and also I don't know many people that wake up pretty in the mornings.

Fans wanting to copy the style of their favourite islanders are in luck, with the sunglasses featured on the show available to buy online.

The sunglasses for the 2021 series were provided by BadHero, who were the official sponsor for the glasses for last year's show.

The company launched the Love Island range, which contained 114 specifications of sunglasses designed by the show's stylist alongside the production team.
