Love Island turned very intellectual tonight when the contestants started a discussion on Brexit.

The ITV2 dating show has been accused of dumbing down the nation but this chat proves otherwise.

Viewers may have expected Dr Alex George or solicitor Rosie Williams to talk about the big political issues.

But it was actually student Georgia Steel that brought up the topic, with Hayley Hughes providing some wonderful insight.

The Scouser hadn't heard of Brexit before and became convinced that there would be no more TREES once the papers are signed.

Sat by the pool, Georgia asked: "What do you think about Brexit?"

"What's that," came the immediate response from clueless Hayley.

The girls tried to explain that it meant the UK was leaving the European Union but it fell on deaf ears.

"I seriously don't have a clue," admitted stumped Hayley.

Samira Mighty then explained that we were leaving the EU - and Hayley actually knew what that was.

Georgia continued: "Which would mean like welfare and things we trade with will be cut down."

Concerned for the implications, Hayley asked: "So does that mean we won’t have any trees?"

Her fellow Islanders were stunned and Samira was convinced she had asked about "cheese".

"That's got nothing to do with it babe that's weather," explained Georgia.

Kendall added: "We're just not in the European Union, we're still classed as being in Europe."

Georgia asked: "Does it mean it would be harder to go to Spain and stuff?"

Finally getting it, Hayley said: "So it's harder to go on holiday. I love my holidays."

Love Island viewers were stunned by the Brexit discussion and took to Twitter after the revealtions.

One viewer said: "I've just seen a clip of Love Island contestants discussing Brexit, I won't divulge the depth of insight on display but to be fair, they're as clueless as most Brexiters, but funnier.

Another added: "I am SO JEALOUS that Hayley has somehow managed to avoid the entire concept of Brexit."

A third said: "Rip to all the trees being lost to Brexit next year"
