Are Love Island contestants allowed to drink or smoke in the villa?
Er, not quite. Love Island may seem like an extended holiday for its stars, but they do have to follow some rules. In its six-series run, several contestants have been removed from the villa for breaking rules  which include using appropriate and non-offensive language at all times. Eagle-eyed viewers may also have noticed there havent been scenes of islanders smoking, as there have been in the shows early days. Heres what we know. Unlike some reality TV hits (ahem, Geordie Shore), Love Island stars arent allowed to get sloshed on the show. One previous contestant revealed that theres a two-drink maximum each day, and the type of beverage is carefully considered. Liana Isadora Van-Riel, who appeared on series two in 2016, told The Sun: Youre allowed one or two drinks a night, either wine or beer, no spirits.  A spokesperson for the show around the same time said: We provide our islanders with all of the necessary precautionary measures and all alcohol consumption is strictly monitored by our production team.  It appears the islanders sometimes have cocktails  they played a Cocktail Mix-Up game in 2020s series six. But thats why there are no drunken antics on Love Island. Cigarette smoking isnt completely barred on Love Island  but it is restricted. Early seasons frequently featured islanders smoking together, often having heart to hearts or dramatic chats over a ciggie. But ITV are said to have cracked down on smoking scenes after receiving multiple complaints. From the 2019 series onwards, islanders are still allowed to smoke  but away from the villa (and the cameras). Islanders arent allowed to smoke in groups, either, to discourage social smoking  and presumably, so important conversations between contestants can still be shown on screen. An ITV spokesperson said in 2019: We have a designated smoking area outside the villa. Swearing is allowed, but using inappropriate or offensive language is a complete no-go. Reports also say contestants are discouraged from wandering around the villa nude  as it is seen as a public place, given all the cameras. Yep, even in the shower. Masturbation is also disallowed  and islanders are said to be given a handbook advising them on dos and donts for their time on the series, as well as sexual consent.
