Love Island’s Casey injured in the villa after gym workout goes wrong
LOVE Island star Casey O'Gorman suffered an injury in the villa behind the scenes.
In fact, the reason the 26-year-old was lying on the terrace when Casa Amor's Cynthia Otseh-Taiwo straddled him was because he'd hurt his neck.
She revealed he'd picked up an injury during one of the Love Island villa's famously gruelling workouts.
Both boys and girls work out relentlessly on the show - in scenes that are rarely shown - to stay in peak condition.
But Casey overdid it at the Casa Amor stage according to Cynthia, whose antics are part of the show's notorious Movie Night.
Speaking to Fubar Radio, she said: “After the night of the straddle I was really worried that it was a bit much because that’s just how I am.
"That was something I would have probably done in real life, just not on the terrace.
"I was really worried about it so I spoke to Ron and he was like: 'No I don’t know what you’re talking about. Casey loved every single second of it!'
"The reason why Casey was lying down on the terrace was because he’d hurt his neck behind the scenes doing a pull up. So that’s why he was lying down."
Last night, Love Island viewers saw the moment he was straddled play out on the big screen.

Claudia - daughter of I'm A Celeb star Carl Fogarty - stayed loyal to Casey, but the same could not be said for him.
She hit the roof when they were shown discussing sleeping arrangements, shouting: "You said you never asked her to sleep in your bed."
He hit back: "‘We literally both went into Casa pretty much single, we’ve dealt with everything. I’ve got nothing to be sorry about."
Jessie Wynter also stuck her oar in, saying: "Casey stop defending yourself and say f***ing sorry."
Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITVX tonight at 9pm
