Virgin Island<\/a> has brought together 12 people who haven’t had s*x onto one island, and they all became besties after it. Tegan<\/a> and Millie<\/a> opened up to Reality Shrine about what filming the Channel 4<\/a> show is really like, revealing they “forgot cameras were there” after a while.<\/p>\n

It took a couple of days to get used to cameras being in their faces, with Millie telling us filming began at 7am each day, and ended at 7pm later that night. “There were moments you felt uncomfortable but that’s inevitable with intimacy issues, it was crazy,” Millie said.<\/p>\n

She also said she “didn’t realise cameras were in their face,” while Tegan said: “I was like, ‘Oh look, there’s always cameras around me,’ so it took a bit of adjustment, but as soon as we got into one of our 1-on-1 sessions, everything faded away. I didn’t realise the mic was on.”<\/p>\n
