HAVE you ever wondered how the Love Island contestants pack for villa life?
As the reality TV stars prepare to move into the Spanish property with their personalised white suitcases, they’ve no doubt got a list as long as their arms of what to take with them.
But, according to some TV experts, there are also certain items that are strictly forbidden from being taken on the ITV2 show.
The eagle-eyed experts at Eden’s Gate decided to watch back old episodes of the show, now hosted by Maya Jama, to see what was allowed in – and more important what isn’t.
And some of their discoveries are more surprising than others for Love Island fans, as the banned list reportedly includes watches and even fake tan.
Up first, the contestants are not allowed to know the time of day it is when they’re coupled up inside the villa.

Therefore, clocks and watches are to be left on the outside, and it’s been rumoured that even the oven’s time has been covered up.
Instead, past contestants have revealed they use the sun to help them work out what time of the day it is.
While the producers are said to let them know when it’s time to sleep and get up, acting as their own personal alarm clock.
Next on the rumoured banned list is another slightly surprising addition.

As the Islanders are soaking up the sun, fake tan is also asked to be kept off of their packing lists.
This is something 2021 runner-up Chloe Burrows seemingly confirmed after sharing a TikTok video that the beauty product was prohibited.
Apparently, this rule was put into place to stop the white bed sheets becoming stained and they’re encouraged to top up their tan naturally instead.
The third banned item is, unsurprisingly, their personal mobile phones.
And while the girls and boys are given handsets to use on the show, they’re only for text messages and taking photos.
They are not connected to Wi-Fi or the internet, so therefore the contestants have no access to their social media accounts during their time on the show.

Similarly, they’re also disconnected from the outside world when it comes to newspapers, magazines and even books.
Instead of reading, the group is encouraged to get stuck into the activities – from speed dating to challenges.
The final prohibited items are all to do with beauty and clothing.
While in the villa, the girls receive from the dating show’s sponsors – this time eBay – and therefore are not allowed to wear branded outfits or clothes that contain logos.
The same rule applies for cosmetics and make-up, as the show has a long list of health and beauty partners who provide them with everything they need.
