Love Island star Mary Bedford stole the show during last night’s heart rate challenge – but for all the wrong reasons!
While her fellow Islanders chose a series of saucy outfits, the stunning model opted for a mermaid.
And Twitter went mental over the costume.

The famous heart rate challenge returned to the ITV2 dating show last night (August 12).
The task consists of the Islanders seeing who can get the most hearts racing.
During the challenge, the female Islanders performed sexy routines for their male co-stars.

Liberty rocked a cowgirl outfit, Millie was Lara Croft and Priya opted for a nurse.
However, Mary seemed to have pulled the short straw in a long red wig and green tail.

So, do the Islanders pick their costumes?
No, according to former winner Amber Gill.
Taking to Twitter last night, the reality star confirmed that contestants are given outfits by the show’s producers.
One fan questioned: “Ok we need @AmberRoseGill to confirm whether the islanders picked their own outfits for the heart rate challenge, or whether the producers have it in for Mary?”

Meanwhile, Amber replied: “Are you OK? You think I chose a bustier tutu & tights.”
In addition, she said: “If I got to pick in that challenge I would have bust the whole thing open bdsm vibes.”
Poor Mary!
