YouTube prankster breaks into 'Love Island' villa
Love Island bosses are dealing with a security breach after a YouTuber filmed himself successfully breaking into the villa.
Omer Majid was caught in the garden of the Mallorca mansion after evading the 24-hour security team to make his way through the house.
Shooting his stunt on an Instagram live feed, Majid was eventually captured and forcibly removed from the premises.

A man was heard yelling “you’re trespassing” to the ‘prankster’ as the live feed came to an end.
A Love Island spokesperson confirmed to Yahoo: "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."
The team has now placed extra security around the villa, and it’s been confirmed that the intruder did not meet or interact with any of the islanders.
Majid, whose previous 'pranks' only rack in around 5,000 views an upload, previously filmed another 'joke' that saw him clear out a row of travellers on the tube by pretending he was going to be sick on them in the midst of the pandemic.
The break-in comes after the team put in extra precautions to prevent a coronavirus outbreak within the saucy villa.
Last year’s summer series was cancelled as a result of the pandemic. The latest series of the show, which launched on 30 June, remains a national talking point as singletons try to find love while locked in the luxury home.
