Security around the Love Island villa has been increased following an incident with an intruder, who filmed himself breaking into the famous property. You can watch him being kicked out of the villa by security below:

The video, which was shared on social media, shows the man and three others on a split screen - who watch on as he runs around the show's villa, located on the east side of Spanish island Mallorca.

We see the man filming himself as he explores as much of the villa as possible, before being eventually found by security, who remove him from the premises.

The intruder's feed is shown in the bottom left-hand corner.

Footage shows blue cushions that fans may recognise from the programme, along with the garden's hanging lights garden.

Distinctive fluorescent lights can also be seen in the background.

A voice - believed to belong to the security guard who found him - can be heard saying in the clip: "You're trespassing."

The video feed then goes dead.

The trespasser later managed to record further video footage as he walked though the villa after being caught by security guards - who then grab his phone and the feed freezes.

The shocking video was shared on Instagram by a man name Tyrone - who can be seen in the clip, reacting to the incident.

Security has since been ramped up at the villa, which has also undergone an extensive deep clean as part of the show's coronavirus safety measures.

The intruder did not come into contact with any of the islanders.

A Love Island spokesperson said: "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."

Previously, it has been reported that security guards sometimes have to fend off 'at least five' would-be trespassers each day.

Ex-contestant Alex Miller previously said: "When I left, I chatted with the guys who looked after us.

"They told me at least five people a day try to access that villa - but so far no one has got in."
