Love Island bosses are trying to catch a stray cat which is causing havoc with filming.
The white feline keeps wandering into shot when the islanders have been involved in tense chats and dramatic action.
Last week it walked through the fire pit area while TV chiefs were shooting a tense dumping ceremony.

It made the lads and lasses burst into fits of giggles and they had to re-shoot the scene.
The puss, which has battered ears, is clearly a local stray and has been living in the wilds.
It visits the villa looking for scraps of food and the crews have nicknamed it Lightning because it is white and moves in a flash.
The furry friend first cropped up at neighbouring Casa Amor.
Gemma Owen immediately took pity on the hungry creature and started feeding it slices of ham from their fridge.
However it snatched the food and then immediately took off – dashing her hopes of making friends.
And she shrieked: ‘‘Is it taking the p***? It’s taken the ham and p***ed off. I’ve literally been on my hands and knees for this.’’

The gang thought they had seen the last of the pussycat.
But a few days later it turned up in the main villa where it is now causing filming chaos.
A source said: ‘‘It’s certainly provided some laughs but also some real headaches.’’
Gemma may have missed out on one ‘‘pet’’ but she is happy with her other one – TV partner Luca Bish.
The pair were treated to a beach date and he was so excited he joked: “I feel like I’m going to propose!’’

She showered him with compliments and even claimed the fish seller was just like her father – soccer idol Michael Owen.
Gemma added: ‘‘You’re obviously more than a fit guy that I fancy and have a flirt with.
‘‘You’re someone I could actually see things working with. Someone I could actually see being a part of the family. You have got similar humour to my dad to be fair.’’
Luca added: ‘‘If only I could kick a ball the same as him.’’
But Gemma warned: ‘‘I hope to God my mum likes you because if she doesn’t then we’re screwed. If my mum doesn’t like you then it’s a no.’’
Love Island airs every night from 9pm on ITV2.
