Luckily one woman has taken to TikTok to share what it was really like being scouted for the hit ITV2 dating show.
Miriam, known online as @miriammullins_, regularly shares honest videos with her two million followers.
In a new reel, she shares what happened when a Love Island producer slid into her DMs and asked if she’d be interested in featuring on season four of the reality show.
“People actually ask me all the time if I was to go on Love Island now if I was single, would I? Not in a million years.
“So i got a DM on Instagram and I think at the time I had about 15k on Instagram, and I don’t know why they DM-ed me because I was ugly.

“So I thought it was fake but anyway I got this DM and it was like, ‘hey, we’d love for you to audition for a show on ITV. If you could jump on a call, let us know’ or whatever.
“So I was a bit sceptical of it, I didn’t think it was real. It was from a random Instagram account.
“And I showed it to one of my friends and she was like ‘that could be Love Island or something’ and I was like, ‘I don’t think so’.
“But anyway, I was like, ‘f*** it. I’m just finished college, life is too short, let’s see what this is’.

“So I got the link for the Zoom and I got an email and it was from ITV, so I had a call with a Love Island producer.
“And after the call, they were literally like, ‘if you could send us a video of you auditioning for Love Island’ and I was like, ‘okay, no bother’.
“So I sent the video.
“Lads, I looked at this video just the other day because it’s on my YouTube channel, but I have it privated, and I swear to go, I’m going to have to actually show it to you because it is so bad.
“So I had the call, I sent away the video and that was it.
“Didn’t hear anything after. I’d say after that Zoom call they were like ‘no, we’re not bringing this b**** on, she’s ugly.”
She continues: “So I think it was for the season that Georgia Steel and all that, the twins were on it. Maybe the one Megan Barton-Hanson was on? I actually can’t remember, it was 2018 kind of time.
“So that was the one I auditioned for, but yeah, I literally got a DM, went on a call with a girl, like a female producer asking me questions, sent a video, that was it, didn’t hear anything.
“Didn’t get it. But yeah, I didn’t really care at the time, I moved to Florida, [and] I met my boyfriend the year after, it was fine, but that was the time I actually ever auditioned for Love Island.”
Fans loved Miriam’s story, with the video gaining more than 29,000 likes and 203,000 views.
