According to The Sun, the 21-year-old flew to Mallorca specifically to pull off this break-in.
The content creator told the outlet that he spent a week planning it, but when he arrived, the front door was unlocked.
'We flew out the week before and started scouting the villa,' he said.
'We used long lenses to watch the guards patrolling and keeping watch from their watchtowers.'
Omer said the first time they tried to break in, security guards rushed down to stop them.
'So we pretended to just be tourists taking pictures and they left us alone.'

He continued, 'We went back the next day, dressed all in black and wearing night vision.'
'We started climbing up through the bushes, which were planted to really badly cut anyone who goes through them.'
'We heard security looking for us so we froze. Eventually they went away and we kept going.'
Inside the villa
Omer revealed, 'When we got through all the bushes we were at the front of the villa.'
'I just walked in through the front door because it was open.'
'None of the contestants were about because they were in a code red. They had been locked away.'
He walked around the villa for a bit before security found him and removed him from the property.
The YouTuber said, 'I tried to get into the bedroom to speak to them. I just wanted one of the girls’ numbers, that’s all.'
'I could hear them whispering on the other side of the bedroom door.'
'They were just talking among themselves, there was no shouting or screaming, they seemed fine.'
'I went upstairs and I could hear more of them locked in a room there.'
'That’s when I spotted the diary room chair so I went to sit in it before the security team caught up with me.'

Omer was held in a security office while they waited for police to arrive for questioning.
He said they searched for his SD memory card, 'But when there was no sign they just let me go.'
Following news of the break-in, a Love Island spokesperson released a statement.
