Love Island star shares ‘strange’ villa menu that forced him to cook for himself

Love Island star shares ‘strange’ villa menu that forced him to cook for himself

Ciaran Davies, a Love Island star, has revealed the motivation behind his decision to start cooking his own meals in the villa after being astonished by the catering.

Although there were cameras on them 24/7, it was obvious that a significant portion of the day was wasted, including their meal times, because Ciaran starred alongside Nicole Samuel in season 11 and the pair finished the show in the end.

The Welsh star, who spoke exclusively on the Daily Mirror’s Bombshell Briefing podcast, shared some interesting inside-the-scenes details, including the odd meals the Islanders were served.

The self-proclaimed foodie claimed the catering made him feel “shocked” and that they would receive breakfast items like chicken korma or roast dinners. Although I’m very passionate about my food, it wasn’t pleasant to wake up and have a Chicken Korma an hour later.

Although it’s a long way from the typical breakfast of bacon and cereal, the Islanders were at least satisfied before attempting to find love. He continued, saying that while breakfast isn’t typically served, you might find yourself getting a Sunday roast half an hour after awakening. They would try and mix it up a bit, that’s the catering”.

Ciaran then confessed while he was eating his unusual breakfasts, he added: “I really didn’t know what to do with myself”. He said: “It came to a point where me and Ayo]Odukoya] started cooking our own food at the end”. The star then recalled the moment they were served a banana curry, claiming it was “one of the nicest meals they had.”

“That was probably the most bizarre thing ever.” I assumed it would be just regular food but we were having banana curry when they said there would be food for the day and during the day.
