Love Island heartthrob Joe Garratt has opened-up about the racy antics in the villa.
Joe, 23, who found fame on the ITV2 show last year, said that islanders often relieved themselves in the villa if they had to.
Speaking exclusively about the saucy antics to Daily Star Online at BOXPARK Croydon, Lucie Donlan’s ex said cast members participate in solitary-sex acts from time to time.
He told us: “I will neither confirm or deny it myself but if you need to, you need to.”
Adding an element of humour, he joked: “At the end of the day it’s a very stressful environment and you have to somehow relieve yourself of some stress.”
“I think everyone does it sneakily, they just don’t tell anyone.”
Although words were never muttered between the lads, it appeared that they had some form of secret understanding between themselves and knew when a solo act had happened.
The 23-year-old added: “We all just look at each other and know that they did.”

In fact, funnyman Iain Stirling also splashed the headlines recently for airing his views on the very subject matter.
Speaking to Vice magazine the voiceover guy said: “I imagine they’re asked to follow the normal masturbation rules, not in front of people and not in communal places?”
Masturbation is a touchy subject especial as the onanism has previously not been permitted by producers of the show and deemed as an official offence in eyes of the Love Island rule book.
The rule book includes no smoking inside the house, pool or garden, no nudity, no masturbating and no unsafe sex.
However it would seem from recent claims that behaviour guidelines might not be so ridged when it comes to masturbation.
Last year, the matter at hand surfaced due to allegations that the solo-act could have led to Sherif Lanes dramatic departure.
Sherif was sent packing from the villa after just one week of air time, gossip suggested he’d been spending too much time in the shower.
The one week reality star later confessed that he’d been axed after accidentally kicking Molly-Mae Hague in the female region.
Love Island airs nightly on ITV2 at 9pm
