Love Island rules: What could get contestants removed from the villa?
Here's everything you need to know about the Love Island rules.
The highly-anticipated Love Island: All Stars will be making a splash on screens this week, with a group of genetically blessed singles all preparing to get their graft on for a second, or possibly third time.
The All Stars series features a group of islanders who all attempted to find love on their respective seasons, but things just didn't go to plan. And what better way to find love again than where it all started?
Love Island will be returning to South Africa, with the islanders staying in a newly-refurbished villa and Maya Jama returning to present the series, as well as a line-up of some very familiar faces looking for love.
Whilst in the villa, the islanders will have to adhere to a special set of rules and guidelines, just like they had to do before.
Before All Stars kicks off, here's what you need to know about the villa dos and don’ts.

Love Island rules
1. No masturbating
Solo sexual acts are off limits in the Love Island villa. While contestants are allowed to be intimate with their partners, masturbation is not allowed under any circumstances.
2. No getting drunk
Although the islanders are given some alcoholic beverages during their party evenings, contestants aren't allowed to get drunk and are limited to a number of drinks. According to former contestant Kem Cetinay, they're allowed a small glass of wine or beer each night along with their evening meal.
3. No nudity
As the villa is a public place, contestants are not allowed to be fully naked in front of others and must be clothed at all times.
4. No inappropriate language, behaviour or physical violence
Inappropriate behaviour is at producers' discretion and would include violence and sexual harassment. It could also cover homophobic, racist or aggressive language.

5. No books, phones, magazines
We'll see the islanders using phones throughout the season, however, these are special phones used specifically for show purposes, such as for receiving text announcements on new arrivals and challenges. Personal phones are not allowed under any circumstances, and anyone caught sneaking their phone in could be at risk of being removed from the villa. The same goes for books and magazines, with islanders expected to communicate with one another.
6. No discrimination against staff
While on the show, the contestants will be looked after by staff who are on set. Any contestant who is rude to the crew could face being axed from the show. Contestants must take instruction from the staff members and must not remove their mic packs unless asked to do so.
7. Follow the contestants' rule book
In order to keep their place on the show and not risk being kicked out, islanders must simply obey the rule book they've been provided with.
This includes information on safe sex, consent and how to know if you're following the guidelines. By doing this, they should be able to stay out of trouble and enjoy their summer in the villa.
