UK viewers point out an epic editing fail on Love Island Australia

Love Island Australia’s first season is airing in the UK after the coronavirus pandemic shut down productions of British version.

And this week, viewers spotted an editing fail that seemingly went unnoticed by Australian viewers when the show first aired in 2018.

In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, a mystery woman could be seen walking in the background among the bikini-clad Islanders. 

As one of the stars walked out of the bedroom in a pink bikini, an woman dressed in shorts and a T-shirt crossed paths with her.

The woman’s presence in the Spanish villa was overlooked in the editing process, which is usually done quickly due to Love Island’s 24-hour production cycle.

Fans speculated on Twitter that the mystery intruder was likely a crew member or producer.

Once she realised she was being recorded by a fixed camera in the villa, the woman did not stop to chat with the contestant.

The moment was not mentioned by the show’s narrator, who usually provides comedic commentary on the events in the house.

Love Island Australia star Amelia Plummer confirmed to Daily Mail Australia on Thursday that the woman was indeed one of the producers. 

Amelia joked the cast probably annoyed the on-site staffer during filming.

‘We would ask her like 1,000 things,’ Amelia said with a laugh: ‘We were probably very annoying.’

Love Island Australia continues Wednesday at 9pm on ITV2
