Love Island contestants were banned from using a particular area of the villa today after an intruder broke into the property.
YouTuber Omer Majid live-streamed himself as he broke into the garden of the TV set this week.
It has now emerged that the production team ordered a deep clean of the area which Majid infiltrated to avoid contamination, amid Covid-19 health and safety measures.
An ITV spokesperson told The Sun: ‘Last night a security breach was identified and an intruder was removed from the villa with immediate effect.
‘The safety of both our islanders and our production crew remains our primary concern.
‘As part of our stringent Covid safety measures, the villa area that was trespassed has been fully deep cleaned before being made accessible again to the islanders and crew.’
In video footage previously released of the incident, a voice could be heard shouting: ‘You’re trespassing!’ as the YouTuber ran under fluorescent lights.
