Love Island filming postponed due to medical emergency with cast member
Catherine Agbaje required medical attention
Filming for the 2023 series of Love Island was temporarily halted when Islander Catherine Agbaje took a 'funny turn' during filming for the launch show, which aired on Monday 5th June with host Maya Jama.
According to reports, the 23-year-old from Dublin felt unwell and had to be seen by paramedics, with bosses temporarily halting filming with the cast until she was ready to return.
A source told The Mirror: "Catherine was seen instantly by one of the 24 hour medics which resulted in a short pause in filming, once the medic was happy with her temperature she was fine to continue with the rest of filming."
Monday night's show, which launched with 1.7m viewers across all devices, saw the public match real estate agent Catherine with 21-year-old business owner André Furtado. However, following the shock twist at the end of the episode, which saw the arrival of bombshell Zachariah Noble, it sounds like Catherine could be about to turn her head.
She says in the Beach Hut: “I am enjoying getting to know André, but I feel like when Zach came in and he spoke I was like ok…he may be a bit of me..."
