True love has blossomed at the Love Island villa, and not just among the contestants.

Producers have become so enamoured with a family of stray cats who moved into the Majorca site, they are flying a mother and kitten back to the UK when filming ends.

One has been named Meowa Jama after host Maya Jama, whose filming was interrupted by the playful kittens.

Another has been named Prem, after the show’s editing system – and Prem and her kitten will be flown back to Britain to live with a member of the show’s production team.

A source said: “The cats have been an integral part of this series behind the scenes. They occasionally venture into the villa and have even disrupted one of the dumpings when Andre Furtado was leaving.

Scenes had to be reshot but everyone loved them so much they didn’t mind.

“The cats have appeared on Love Island’s Unseen Bits, as producers wanted to let viewers see their new pals.

“The crew even has pictures of them on a wall covered in photos of the pets they are missing from back home.

“It has been really comforting having Prem and Meowa Jama around.”

Meowa has already been adopted by a local Spanish runner, who has given her a happy home nearby.

A story of real romance.
