The Love Island villa has apparently been put under quarantine due to a number of crew members contracting a vomiting bug.

Producers of the ITV2 show are allegedly on high alert about the violent bug, which can be spread by kissing.

So you see the issue, yeah?

An insider in Cape Town, has revealed to The Sun:

“If the virus reaches the contestants then it could bring the show to a halt for three or four days.”

“Nobody is going to watch them throwing up or having the shits.”

Workers on the show, including hairstylists, have reported stomach cramps which have turned into serious sickness, forcing them to stay “within seconds of a toilet”.

The insider added:

“Everything is being done to quarantine the villa from the outside world so that bug doesn’t get in.”

“There was a similar crisis in Season One so people know what to do.”

Medical experts are checking to see where the virus originated. Those struck down have been ordered to remain in their hotel rooms.

The news of a vomiting bug comes just days after Ollie Williams was forced to quit the show, after our story about him killing wild animals sparked outrage.

Ollie released a statement saying he was in love with someone else:

“I have to be honest with myself, and everyone, that I do still love someone else… I have to follow my heart in this scenario and it would be wrong for me to ignore these feelings”

“At the end of the day, this is Love Island and it’s about finding love. If I carried on anything with Paige, or any other girl that might come into the villa, it wouldn’t be fair on them.”
