Can Love Island stars get drunk in the villa?

Love Island stars aren't given enough booze to get drunk, in fact producers limit their intake in the villa.

The Islanders are only allowed one to two drinks per night, which is given to them by the show's bosses.

All food and drink is bought by the show, so contestants are monitored closely.

But Love Island 2019 winner Amber Gill reckons the rule was scrapped in 2021 when she tweeted.: “They are giving these islanders more than two drinks I swear!”

Liana Isadora Van-Riel, who was on the 2016 show, echoed this, and told The Sun Online: "You're allowed one or two drinks a night, either wine or beer, no spirits."

Can Love Island stars smoke in the villa?

Following a huge wave of complaints surrounding the constant smoking in the villa after the series in 2017, ITV producers 

Bosses installed a ban on smoking fags inside the villa, with those wishing to light up having to exit the house and go to a designated smoking area.

Only one islander is able to head to the smoking shelter at a time, in a bid to stop so many of the contestants taking up a smoking habit due to the social element.

Back on the 2016 series they were all allowed a 20-pack a day, and Liana agrees with claims that they smoked too much.

She said: ";I only social smoked before the show and when I went in I was smoking 15 a day."
