They were then invited back by show bosses to join the series proper as part of where they coupled up with other Islanders.

Now back in the main villa, they have acted like strangers.

“They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenges.

“And then they even saw each other on the outside before ITV invited them back to be part of Casa Amor.

“Now they’re both in the main villa pretending like none of this ever happened but it’s all entirely fake and ITV know about it.

“Viewers deserve to know it’s all a huge sham.”;

Lauren was unable to keep a straight face and laughed, as Ty added: “I feel like we’d get along.”;

The source added: “Ty and Lauren don’t live far from each other at home and they continued seeing each other after the dry run week.
