A popular Love Island star was forced to wear shorts after a jellyfish stung her vulva.
Olivia Attwood had quite a shocking time in the villa, in more ways than one.
Appearing on season three of the hit reality TV show, the 34-year-old was an instant fan favourite and provided plenty of on-screen drama.

Now a presenter and model, Olivia opted to wear a pair of shorts instead of just bikini bottoms – but as it turns out, this wasn’t a fashion choice.
The real reason was due to her being stung by a jellyfish on her genitals.
“This little pervert jellyfish attached to my vagina,” she said.
“So it like stung me on my nunnie bone, I’m screaming blue murder, c-words coming out.
“He (lifeguard) points to a sign, I f**k you not, it is about as big as that in Spanish and it has a little jellyfish with a cross and a ‘don’t swim’.
“Overnight, it raised so when everyone walks in a bikini, Mike Spencer, who is one of the execs on Love Island, came to my little like isolation thing.
“I had the bikini on, it just looked like I had an aggressive herpes outbreak and he was like we’ve got to do something about this.
“I was like what do I do and he was like short denim shorts.”
Olivia made the shocking revelation on the Great Company podcast with Jamie Laing.
The former Made In Chelsea star had found out about the story after chatting to the 34-year-old’s friend and Love Island co-star Georgia Harrison.
The sting occurred the day before Olivia entered the villa at her isolation stay in Mallorca, Spain, as reported by Need To Know.
It was there that the star, who finished in third place in 2017 alongside then-boyfriend Chris Hughes, decided she wanted to go for a swim.
Olivia added: “I was in lockdown, for like two weeks.
“That poor girl, I don’t know if she even works in telly anymore – cause you have a chaperone.
“The last day before I was about to go in the villa, I thought I’ve not swam in the sea for like the last two weeks.
“I’m gonna swim in the sea today.
“Lifeguards shouting at me, I’m thinking babe take a number I’m going on Love Island tomorrow.
“He’s talking in Spanish, I’m just ignoring him, what he’s trying to say to me is don’t go in the water the jellyfish are like mating.
“I waded into like here and anywhere your eye could see there was a jellyfish.”
