FORMER Love Island star Tyler Cruickshank has revealed that there's only ONE swear word Islanders are banned from using.
The reality TV star – who rose to fame on the ITV2 dating show last summer – revealed the behind-the-scenes secret that would see certain contestants "told off" by producers.
Love Island fans will be aware that the Islanders are allowed to swear on telly – with an array of foul language allowed during the show.
The F-word is frequently heard between the contestants, often as part of foul-mouthed rants and disagreements between couples.
However, former contestant Tyler, 27, has since revealed there is one word that the dating hopefuls are "banned" from using.
The TV star – who was coupled up with Kaz Kamwi in the villa – told the Daily Star that the "C-word" is strictly off limits.

"When we were saying things in there, we would get told off quite a lot because they weren't politically correct," Tyler said of the rules.
"Like you can't say 'Chinese whispers' like, I get it but it's something that would slip out of your mouth."
"You can't say the C-word either," he added, before revealing the consequences: " You get called to the beach hut and get told off.
"You can't do accents either. I was trying to use the French accent and I wasn't very good which is probably why they told me off."

Last month, former Islander Tyler was forced to make a grovelling apology to his former co-star Rachel Finni after "humiliating" her in a social media video.
Rachel, 30, blasted her co-stars following an livestream, where they implied that she wasn't worthy of being called a bombshell.
Tyler, 26, along with fellow ex-islanders Jake Cornish, 25, Brad McClelland, 26, and Aaron Francis, 24, decided to go live on Instagram.
During the broadcast, the former Love Island stars discussed a range of topics, but conversation soon turned to discuss their season's female bombshells.
When Rachel's name was mentioned – as she was one of the first bombshells to enter the villa – Brad scoffed and pulled a face.
Despite the conversation moving on for a second, Brad brought back the conversation again to clearly state: "Again, Rachel, NOT a bombshell".

Tyler has now issued an apology to Rachel saying he was sorry for "offending" her and will be taking some time to reflect on his involvement.
