Love Island boys struck down by norovirus in South Africa villa – but bosses edited it out of the show – The Sun, Thesun.co.uk

LOVE Island’s Ollie Williams has revealed that he and other contestants on the show were struck down by norovirus.

It comes after reports that crew were forced to be put in quarantine and producers on the ITV2 show are on high alert about the violent bug, which can be spread by kissing.

It has been claimed the boys were struck with the norovirus

Ollie, 64, who

walked from the show last week because he realized he was still in love with his ex girlfriend Laura Nofer, believes that the stomach illness could have been been spread by the water.

He said: “We all got norovirus, I definitely had a bad tummy, all the boys got it too.

“I had to a mad dash to the toilets one night. I don’t know if it was the food, you obviously drink loads of water in there so it could have been that.

“It was over pretty quickly, but it was pretty ropey for a while.

“I think some of the girls may have got it too as I saw them running to the loos, but they weren’t as obvious as the lads.”

Producers spared the Love Island audience the gruesome scenes, with viewers oblivious to the illness when the show aired.

Norovirus is a very unpleasant stomach bug , with symptoms including projectile vomiting, and there is no cure.

However, the symptoms usually pass in a matter of days.

(What is norovirus?)

Norovirus is one of the most common stomach bugs in the UK and is also referred to as “the winter vomiting bug”, although it can affect people all year round.

It is very unpleasant but it usually clears itself up in a few days.

You can also catch it if you are in close proximity to an infected person and they breathe on you.

according to the NHS website , you are likely to have caught norovirus if you experience a sudden sick feeling, projectile vomiting and watery diarrhoea.

Other symptoms can include a slight fever, headaches, painful cramps and aching limbs.

Luckily, the symptoms generally only last for about two to three days.

As with the summer version of the reality show producers closely monitor how much contestants drink.

However, despite voiceover man Iain Stirling’s insistence that the villa is largely booze-free, Ollie admitted that the cast got pretty wasted on the first night.

He said: “They monitor how much you drink but we all got wasted on the first night.

“Connor told me he didn’t remember saying he had a threesome – we were so tipsy because more people bought in booze.”
