“You can only blame me and my own stupidity.”

There’s one glaring problem with Stranded On Honeymoon Island: why are the contestants so sunburnt? We know they’re dropped off on beautiful islands around Fiji with limited supplies, but surely they were provided with sunscreen?

Bride Brie White has addressed the concern shared by multiple viewers who noticed the dangerous detail, and revealed the real reason why she looked so pink on the show.

According to Brie, production supplied all contestants with sunscreen on the island but the contestant opted to use her own brand which she had packed with her. “Obviously on the show I get major sunburnt, there was absolutely sunscreen there, in fact the producers were running around with a sunscreen bottle like chasing me around,” she said on TikTok.

“I refused to put their sunscreen on my face, I brought a sunscreen from home and to put things really simply, I was putting expired sunscreen on,” she admitted. “I was being a little princess and not using their sunscreen. And then they worked it out and it turns out that expired sunscreen can make you more burnt, which is why my face is a lot more burnt than my body.

“You can only blame me and my own stupidity for the sunburn.”

Brie also noted that because there were no mirrors on the island, she didn’t realise how pink she was at the time.

Brie drops hint she’s no longer with Byron

Brie has been sharing lots of sassy TikToks about Stranded On Honeymoon Island, but one caption caught our eye. After making fun of her onscreen husband Byron Molloy for saying he would only want “drama” if he was in a musical, rather than on reality TV, Brie wrote an interesting caption.

“We called him boring Byron…” she wrote. Does this mean Brie and Byron are no longer together?! It’s a little vague, but it’s a big shot to take at someone if you’re in a loving relationship after the show. Plus, the pair hit a snag during an intimacy challenge, when Byron admitted he hadn’t thought about Brie sexually, raising alarm bells.

It’s not clear whether the two are still together, but all signs are pointing to the couple being over. We’ll have to wait and see what happens in the next few episodes.

Stranded On Honeymoon Island airs Tuesdays at 8:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
