A FORMER Love Island contestant has revealed that producers take away items that allow them to find out the time in the villa.
Jack Keating – who was dumped from the show following Casa Amor last week – took to Instagram to spill the behind-the-scenes secret.
Love Island star Jack, 23, who is the eldest son of singer Ronan Keating, left the villa after just one week of action on the ITV2 show.
Now, he has opened up about his time on the much-loved dating programme, including the “worst parts” of being in the villa.
Taking to his Instagram stories for a tell-all Q&A, Jack told his fans about three items that Islanders are barred from bringing in.
“What was the worst part about the villa,” one of his followers had asked, as he told his fans to “not be shy” with their questions.

“There wasn’t really any bad parts, I loved it, but the craziest part is not having a watch, not having a phone and so not knowing the time,” Jack explained in a video response.
Sitting on his sofa at home in a dark t-shirt and baseball cap, he continued: “It was definitely crazy, we had some late nights and some very early mornings.”
It comes after Jack was spotted with his fellow Love Island co-stars at the airport after they were dumped from the show.
He was joined by Casa Amor girls Mollie Salmon, Cheyanne Kerr, Jazmine Nichol and bombshell boy George Tasker.
Posing in a video together by a plane, the girls could be heard chanting to the camera: “See you soon England.”
Reposting the airport photos, Jack told his fans: “[Love Island] was a sick experience for my first holiday abroad.”
The Casa Amor lad went on to defend Gemma Owen, saying: “She doesn’t bulls*** and she’s funny. Gemma is a real one, you know.”
After returning to London, he chatted with his fans in an Instagram story, saying: “Literally just got back to the UK after the most crazy couple of days in Casa Amor.

“I had the absolute time of my life, it was amazing. Unfortunately it didn’t go the way I was hoping. I didn’t really get a romantic relationship with any of the girls.
“I had some great connections with the lads and the girls, I made some great friendships there.
He added: “Thank you guys so much for all the support. I will be on Aftersun this Sunday talking about my Love Island experience.”
It comes after Jack found himself in hot water with his dad Ronan after accidentally saying the singing star is “retired”.
Jack was seen getting to know Gemma, 19, as they bonded over both having famous dads as they lounged by the pool.
But as Jack talked about his dad Ronan, he said that he had “retired”.

The following day, the former Boyzone star told The One Show that he was so shocked by what his son had said that he “nearly fell off his chair” as he watched at home.
Ronan joked: “I’m doing The One Show, next week, I’m in York! No, I’m definitely not retired!”
