Shaughna Phillips reveals 'Armageddon' as Love Island stars got diarrhoea
Love Island star Shaughna Phillips revealed that things got a bit intense in the villa earlier this year when everyone came down with a case of diarrhoea.
Shaughna became the nation’s stoic queen when she took part in the first-ever winter edition of the beloved reality show (and yes, it did actually only air about seven months ago, no we can’t believe it either), but it sounds like it wasn’t all fun and games.
Appearing on BBC Sounds’ The Reality Tea podcast with fellow villa alum Joanna Chimonides, Shaughna was discussing how contestants have to be mic’d up at all times (even in the loo!) which got a bit awkward when the villa was hit by a bug.
‘There was one time, we all had really bad Norovirus,’ Shaughna began. ‘It was bad to the point where in South Africa, they had like cut-outs because of the electricity.
‘So, no toilets were flushing, and we all had the sh*ts.’
Sounds delish, hun, tell us more. Actually, please don’t.
Shaughna continued: ‘It was Armageddon. So, we all had the bad, bad sickness and diarrhoea, so you’re all doubling up in the toilets.’
It sounds like a deeply traumatic experience to us, and Shaughna even said that ‘I’m A Celebrity is more glamorous,’ and for this reason alone, we have to agree.
And if her time in the villa wasn’t dramatic enough with Callum Jones’ recoupling (which birthed the immortal ‘Congrats, hun!’), she had to deal with all of that. Truly, a national sweetheart.
And if this…interesting story has made you miss the sight of Shaughna on your TV – then we have some great news for you, as she’s making her small-screen comeback.
In fact, she’s signed up to appear on the new series of Celebs Go Dating, which will be held virtually thanks to the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus.
But where Shaughna goes, drama isn’t far behind as she’s teased some ‘chemistry’ with fellow contestant, Towie star Pete Wicks.
