AN intruder wearing night vision goggles said he broke into the Love Island Villa to try to ask for one of the girls’ numbers.
Prankster Omer Majid, 21, walked straight through the front door and right up to the girls’ bedroom.

His creepy stunt sparked a full code red security lockdown, with panicked producers locking the contestants inside two panic rooms.
One group was locked in a ground-floor bedroom — with Majid lurking just outside it — while the others were holed up in an upstairs dressing room.
Majid managed to sit in the diary room chair but was finally thrown out by security staff then held until police arrived and made him strip.
Describing the two minutes he managed to spend inside the house, Majid said: “I tried to get into the bedroom to speak to them. I just wanted one of the girls’ numbers, that’s all.
“I could hear them whispering on the other side of the bedroom door. They were just talking among themselves, there was no shouting or screaming, they seemed fine.
“I heard one contestant say, ‘Oh my God’ but I don’t think they knew what was going on.
“I went upstairs and I could hear more of them locked in a room there. That’s when I spotted the diary room chair so I went to sit in it before the security team caught up with me.”
The hapless YouTuber told The Sun he spent a week planning his break-in and could not believe his luck when he tried the villa front door and it was open.
The Brit — who flew to Majorca specifically for the stunt — spent two days watching security patrols before making his move.
He claims he found a blind spot from the guards’ watchtower, behind a bush, then scrambled through undergrowth used to deter intruders.
Once he arrived at the front of the villa he says he simply walked in then heard security dashing to make contestants safe, before he was grabbed and thrown out.
We could climb up through the undergrowth to get to the villa.

Majid said: “We flew out the week before and started scouting the villa. We used long lenses to watch the guards patrolling and keeping watch from their watchtowers.
“The first time we tried to break in we spotted a blindspot behind a bush and realised we could climb up through the undergrowth to get to the villa.
“But guards rushed down to stop us, so we pretended to just be tourists taking pictures and they left us alone. We went back the next day, dressed all in black and wearing night vision.
“We started climbing up through the bushes, which were planted to really badly cut anyone who goes through them. We heard security looking for us so we froze. Eventually they went away and we kept going.
I managed to have a walk around and then security threw me out.

“When we got through all the bushes we were at the front of the villa. I just walked in through the front door because it was open. None of the contestants were about because they were in a code red. They had been locked away.
“I managed to have a walk around and then security threw me out.”
After Majid was chucked out, he was held in a security office until police arrived to question him.
He said: “They started laughing at me and took me out in front of all the security and made me strip naked so they could all see my privates.
“They wanted to find my SD memory card. But when there was no sign they just let me go.”
Love Island bosses have been forced to step up security following Tuesday night’s break-in.
