Huge Love Island shake up for stars as show changes way it is filmed
CASEY O'Gorman has revealed that the Love Island stars faced a huge shake-up this series.
Stars of previous Love Island series got a day off from filming each week to recuperate from the intense schedule.
But Casey, 26, told how that's not quite the case anymore.
During an Instagram Q&A with fans, he said: "No not so much days off.
"We did have days where there was less filming, like more chill days, but you were filmed 24/7."
Chris Williamson, who took part in the first season of Love Island, previously revealed that the contestants got one day off a week.

Speaking on his , Chris said: “Once a week we were allowed to leave the villa and weren’t filmed so none of the viewers would ever know.
“There was a day every week when footage wasn’t needed, which was liberating as you could talk about anything.”
A spokesperson later explained: “Occasionally in the past, some Islanders have been taken out of the villa – for example last year all of the girls were taken out for beauty treatments – but this is at the producers’ discretion and it is very much done on an ad hoc basis (as opposed to a set day each week).”
They added: “The majority of the dates, which are filmed, take place away from the villa.”
