Love Island star Lacey Edwards has called for ITV to change one crucial aspect of the show for contestants.

Lacey went into the ITV2 reality show as a "bombshell" during the very last week of the last series.

However, the reality star told Daily Star that bosses supposedly told her she would be going in near the start of the series.

But in the end, Lacey was kept in quarantine until the final week.

The ITV star quit her job in France ahead of appearing on the show and moved countries in order to be able to take part.

"Talking from my experience, I quit my job in France – I moved the country to come back and do this. Don’t get me wrong, everything happens for a reason, I wouldn’t change my experience, but that was a big move for me to [only] have less than a week in there."

She said that had she been more aware of how short her time on the show would be, things may have gone differently.

"If I would have been more aware, if they’d have said: 'Lacey, we love you and want you as a bombshell but it will be towards the end,' even if I had that indication that [I would be going in] towards the end."

Lacey went on to insist that ITV should make more of an effort to be transparent with potential islanders, because she may have passed on appearing at all had she known the full truth.

She said: "The only thing I would say for ITV to do better would be to try and give people more indication of when they would be going in. I know it’s hard, they explain it to you and it’s to go with the storyline, I understand, but they must roughly know when they’re going to do a dumping to then let someone in.

"That was my biggest frustration with Love Island – if I was going in the last week, I probably wouldn’t have quit my whole life in France."

Love Island airs on ITV2 and is available via catch up on ITVX and BritBox.
