Shaughna Phillips says producers help write Love Island speeches

OHMYGOSSIP — Shaughna Phillips has revealed ‘Love Island’ stars are given help to write their recoupling speeches.
The former democratic services officer appeared on the 2020 winter edition of the show which was shot in South Africa, and she’s now opened up about the recoupling ceremonies – revealing the contestants get help writing their speeches as part of the process which takes many hours to film.
Speaking on the ‘Should I Delete That’ podcast, Shaughna explained: “(It takes) hours. Hours. You don’t normally have to re-do … if it’s something very dramatic, then obviously they can’t really redo that.
“But when you’re doing, like, the ‘I would like to couple up with this person because …’ you do that in three sections. So you say that, and then you have a big pause, then you say the next bit, pause.”
She added of the speeches: “You kind of go over it with a producer before, that night. So like during dinner time you kind of talk through it. It’s really produced.
“They kind of ask you to go for chats and certain things. It’s a TV show, so I get it.”
Shaughna also opened up about the show’s games, admitting she was left in tears on the day she had to film the “vile” heart rate challenge.
It involves the stars getting dressed up in raunchy outfits and putting on a sexy dance in a bid to raise the others’ heart rates – and Shaughna said it was nerve-wracking.
She went on: “(It was) the most vile thing ever … I cried from lunchtime to the minute I walked out (to dance). I said to them (the show’s producers) ‘I will go out naked in nipple tassels, as long as you give me trousers, tights, or thigh high boots. I will do whatever you want’.”
‘Love Island’ airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
The dating reality show can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
