The bushes and trees have also been swaying back and forth as the contestants have relaxed in the garden.
One viewer wrote: ‘Why can I hear the wind through the screen?’ while another added: ‘They must be cold because that wind ain’t playing’.
A third fan wrote: ‘Is this Love Island or Wind Island?’ while a fourth quipped: ‘They’re going to have to start strapping down the furniture with the wind at this rate’.
