Love Island USA stars drenched after show begins during rainy season in Fiji

Love Island USA has opened its villa doors for the first time but viewers have been distracted by extreme weather conditions.

While Love Island on ITV2 is filmed in Majorca – where the sun beats down on the bikini- and short-clad contestants – there was a major difference in the new American version.

It is the first time that the United States have had their take on Love Island and producers set up a villa in the South Pacific, with the island of Fiji chosen as the venue.

Despite having a budget of $30million (£23million), the one thing the producers couldn't fix was the weather.

Viewers watching the opening episode found themselves distracted by what is normally a typical British domain, people enjoying the beach life while rain pours down around them.

There was some harsh criticism on Twitter as fans of Love Island pointed to reality show Survivor as proof that the tropical island of Fiji is a place which can be a wet and wild haven.

One viewer tweeted: "Why would they pick Fiji? I know survivor has been using Fiji these past few seasons and the rain is no joke. # LoveIslandUSA"
