Love Island’s Anna-May Robey kept her stint on the ITV2 dating show top secret – even from her closest friends.
All islanders know they need to keep the news quiet before they’re announced for the show, but most people will still tell their closest friends and family.

However, for Anna-May, she kept things on a need-to-know basis and only dropped the ultimate an hour before she got on the plane.
Speaking to Daily Star and other press, Anna-May admitted that none of her friends knew that she was appearing on the show.
She said: “I went to the airport at like four o’clock in the morning on Wednesday and I told my best friend at 3’oclock. So she had an hour to ask me as many questions as she wanted before I was gone.”
Her pal quizzed her after she heard the news but it wasn’t long before she had to ditch her phone and say her goodbyes.
It wasn’t always on Anna-May’s sights though, with the beauty confessing that she was approached for the show but “wasn’t keen” at first.
She said: “As I’ve gone further and come through this, I think I’m just seeing it as an experience, something different.”
Anna-May has vowed to go after the man of her dreams after her mum encouraged her to get a boyfriend – and she won’t be afraid to step on any toes as she eyes up the men in the villa.
“I like to make my feelings known, I will step on toes,” she said.
The 20-year-old said she will admit immediately if she likes someone, but added that she’s “not a backstabber”, so will make sure she lets the girls know her plans if the guy she likes is already coupled up.
Despite being the youngest in the villa, she’s got the long-game on her mind and is looking for a beau to settle down with.
Anna-May will join nine other islanders as they look for love this winter, with Maya Jama introducing the fellow islanders with her debut after taking over the hosting gig from Laura Whitmore.
Love Island returns on Monday, January 16 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
