Love Island star Ellie Spence has confessed to losing a stone in weight while she was in the villa because she was so stressed out.
Ellie, 25, has opened up about her experience as a Bombshell on the hit ITV dating show admitting it isn’t as fun as it appears to be.
The business development executive from Norwich failed to find love or a connection in South Africa – but she did manage to cause a lot of drama thanks to her brief flirtation with fellow islander Tom Clare.

Viewers saw Ellie cosying up to Tom after her arrival in the Villa on day 10 and when the pair shared a kiss it led to an explosive argument with fellow islanders Zara Lackenby-Brown and Olivia Hawkins who had both already been involved with Tom.

Ellie finally exited the show on Day 26 alongside Jordan Odofin after they failed to share a spark and got voted out.
Talking about the experience on her YouTube channel Ellie explained how the welfare team were super efficient at caring for the Islanders but she still had her struggles.

She said: “I had a really hard first week anyway. I’d actually lost a stone through stress. What I will say though is the welfare team there, everyone on the production, and everyone on the love island team is just so good.
You get asked every single day, ‘are you eating? are you drinking?’ you have to fill out a water tab, they keep really close tabs on you. You say ‘oh my stomach hurts’ and you blink and there’s a medic next to you.”

Explaining further how she managed to lose a stone she added: “But I think it was a combination of the heat and the stress. My parents could see through the TV that there was something going on with the girls even though it wasn’t aired.
“When I had my one phone call with my mum when I was in holding, you get one phone call with your parents for 10 minutes, but she said dad knew the girls weren’t very nice to me at the start.”
