00:00I have some logistical questions about Love Island, which I told you when you walked in
00:03that I had many.
00:05The first one is just overall living in the villa, what would you use to describe it?
00:10What words come to mind when I take you back to those however many weeks that you lived
00:13there?
00:14First thing that pops into your head, living there.
00:16Okay, it feels like a Sims game.
00:17Okay.
00:18For me, it did.
00:19Okay.
00:20When I walked in, I was like, whoa, this is a computer game.
00:23Everyone's like a computer game.
00:25Everyone's going to want, you go to the beach hut and then you come out.
00:27It's like, it just didn't feel real.
00:30Right.
00:31And for me to make it feel real, I had to get the idea of this is not, this is, the
00:36cameras, ignore them, ignore them.
00:37Right.
00:38So it took me about a week to just completely just ignore everything and then be me.
00:42Okay.
00:43Because I was like, this is surreal.
00:44There's cameras in the toilet.
00:45It's like, I can't physically do number two because I feel, yeah, I just couldn't.
00:50Yeah.
00:51I couldn't.
00:52But the beds, like the bedroom.
00:54Right.
00:55Everyone's bed is literally this close.
00:56Like my bed's here.
00:57Someone's bed's here.
00:58Yeah.
00:59And I swear, this is not a lie, nobody from my year had sex on TV.
01:04Really?
01:05No.
01:06There's been a few blow dries.
01:07Yeah.
01:08Blow, you know.
01:09Yeah.
01:10Nail salons.
01:11Nail salons, as they've called it.
01:12Right.
01:13I've heard them, you know, at the nighttime.
01:14Right.
01:15It happens usually past midnight.
01:16Do you know what time it is?
01:18No, but I know from the sun.
01:19Okay.
01:20So when the sun strikes a certain way, I can kind of guess if it's afternoon or like,
01:24you know.
01:25Yeah.
01:26It's intense.
01:27And again, I don't know why I wasn't in the hideaway.
01:29I still think we should have been.
01:30Me and Davide should have been in the hideaway.
01:32Right.
01:33Well, did you hear this season, you don't have to get permission to be in the hideaway?
01:35I heard Joey and Grace were.
01:37How do you feel about there's no permission?
01:38Look, I feel sorry for Sam.
01:41I like Samantha.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Samantha, I don't know.
01:44I don't know how I feel about the situation with her being betrayed like that.
01:47Yeah.
01:48She was a sweet girl and I'm team Sam.
01:50So yeah.
01:51Yeah.
01:52I didn't like how that played out.
01:55Joey's my friend, by the way.
01:56Oh, really?
01:57Yeah.
01:58I love that he's in there.
01:59He's playing his game, whatever he's doing.
02:00But I didn't like how he just saw Grace and then, because there's going to be bombshells
02:06every week.
02:07Yeah.
02:08What's he going to do when the next blonde girl comes in?
02:09Yeah.
02:10You know what I mean?
02:11What, leave Grace and go to her?
02:12Yeah.
02:13It's just, yeah.
02:14I'm always empowering women.
02:15So I feel bad for the girl.
02:16Right.
02:17And yeah.
02:18It's interesting to have someone like Joey in the mix because he's been on so many shows.
02:20Yeah.
02:21And it's just a different, he doesn't have to take the week to get used to the cameras.
02:23No.
02:24It's a different ball game.
02:25He is.
02:26He's very confident.
02:27Yeah.
02:28And he knows what he's doing.
02:29Yeah.
02:30That was an interesting move by the producers.
02:31It's a good thing, but also it does dominate it a little bit.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Like, he's a character.
02:35So it's almost like too much.
02:36Yeah.
02:37Sometimes.
02:38And I, Joey, I hope he's actually looking for the one now.
02:41Right.
02:42Because, come on, Joey.
02:43You've been single for how many years?
02:44What percent of people on Love Island, just generally speaking, do you think are there
02:50for love or for other reasons?
02:53So I'm not going to give you names.
02:54Okay.
02:55But when I was on my show, I knew from day one who was in there for what.
02:58Really?
02:59Yeah.
03:00Okay.
03:01And when the show finished, everyone was like, ecking you were right.
03:03So I'm usually good at reading people.
03:05That was one of my talents on the show.
03:07Yeah.
03:08And I generally didn't think I was going to win.
03:09I thought I'd go home.
03:11That week when I was on the bottom with Amber, I was like, right, I'm going home because
03:14the public probably hates me because I kissed Jay.
03:16Right.
03:17And yeah.
03:18And I thought, well, it was fun until it lasted.
03:19Yeah.
03:20And they saved me.
03:22So I was like, oh, okay.
03:24But you know, Davide knew he was going to win and I was like, how do you know you're
03:27going to win?
03:28This is weird.
03:29And he was like, I'm funny.
03:30I was like.
03:31Confidence.
03:32Right.
03:33Okay.
03:34But no, I generally didn't think I was going to win.
03:35But again, listen, darling, as viewers, you can see who's playing.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Yeah.
03:41The audience are so clever.
03:42If I'm clever, the audience are too.
03:44Yeah.
03:45They know when someone's in there for the Instagram followers, which doesn't happen
03:48again now, by the way, because we've got no rights to the handles anymore.
03:53Right.
03:54But yeah, you can tell who's faking it.
03:55You can tell who's actually in love.
03:57You can tell who's insecure.
03:59You can tell who's lost a little bit on the show.
04:02Yeah.
04:03If there's one person who's lost and doesn't talk to anyone.
04:05Right.
04:06Yeah.
04:07That person usually gets sent home after as well.
04:08Right.
04:09Early.
04:10They're not doing anything.
04:11People keep saying, and I need to say, you're on holiday.
04:13We are not on holiday, guys.
04:15You're working.
04:16It's a TV show.
04:17We know it's a TV show.
04:19It's what we signed up for.
04:20Yeah.
04:21Okay.
04:22And when I'm on holiday, I relax.
04:24I don't feel on edge every two seconds when there's a bombshell or a challenge or text
04:30message.
04:31Yeah.
04:32I felt anxiety throughout the whole show.
04:33Like, there was good times on the dates that we put sweet moments in.
04:36Yeah.
04:37But that is not a holiday.
04:38Right.
04:39There's a scene in Big Brother as well.
04:40And me and Zizi were talking about it.
04:41And that's what I was trying to tell her.
04:42I was like, it is not a holiday.
04:44Yeah.
04:45It is not.
04:46Give me a name that's like a holiday like Love Island.
04:48It's a TV show.
04:49And people know what they're signing up for.
04:50Yeah.
