Love Island's Jess and Eve 'banned from wearing thong bikinis' by TV bosses

Love Island twins Jess and Eve Gale have told how ITV bosses banned them from wearing their most revealing bikinis during their time on the show.

The blonde bombshells, who starred on the 2020 winter version, say the ITV execs stepped in to control what swimwear they were going to put on when they found out what was in their suitcases.

The identical twins, 23, were told some of their outfits were too 'inappropriate' to be shown on camera - and their favourite pieces had to stay hidden away.

Eve told the Daily Star: "I had that thong bikini that I wasn't allowed to wear and you weren't allowed to wear that Ann Summers one.

"I had a bikini and it was the real thong one like the Oh Polly ones, it wasn't nude, but it was thong.

Jess added: "I was wearing an Ann Summers one and because it's a family TV show they were like this is inappropriate."

Eve then interjected: "Yeah, I had to change it to a tiny bit thicker."

In a Facebook Live, the twins also shed new light on what goes on after the Love Island cast are booted off from the show.

When asked what happens when islanders leave the villa they say bosses sit them down for a chat.

Eve explained: “We both had different experiences. Jess left during the final night, so she could leave with everyone at the end of the show with me, I did the walkout and then went straight into a room with the producers who debriefed because it was so intense.

“They actually let me sneak back in and see Jess for one last time, I was literally crying. I was a mess.”

Eve had to quarantine without her phone in South Africa, where the Winter season took place, after she was kicked out of the villa.

She was given her "own villa” which was “really nice” and was able to reach support from psychiatrists.

When Eve could “eventually” go home, she flew back and was only then given her phone as she landed at the airport.

The Winter Love Island contestant said that she was “losing her mind” without her phone on the long journey back, and was soon sent out to the villa again for the family and friends' visit.
