Wildboyz and Jackass personality Steve-O has quit the British reality TV show Love Island.

According to the executive producer, Natalka Znak, Steve-O, who allegedly arrived for filming armed with condoms on Monday, also allegedly walked off the set after ranting about the insufficient quantities of beer or chocolate on the set of the Island reality show.

Znak stated, "Steve-O became very emotional last night and again this morning and was upsetting some of the other celebrities. We therefore agreed with him that he should go home. He has been great entertainment since he arrived on Monday and we thank him for his contribution."

Steve-O is reported to be admitting: "Perhaps I could have controlled my emotions better.  I think when I got emotional it was for the cast, not me individually. I wanted an effort to treat them a little better. Maybe I'm a prima donna. I'm just used to being treated better."

Steve-O usually pairs with his Wildboyz cohort Chris Pontius in taunting wild animals.   Their show’s premise consists of the two wearing g-strings or socks over their privates, teasing wild animals with their buttocks and making homoerotic overtures to each other. 

Steve-O has been frank with his own demons and the last blog (May, 2006) on his official website details his battle with alcohol: “Sounds like the only chance of even having a 30% chance of not needing a heart transplant is to completely quit drinking. If you ask me, this chronic drinking connection has my name written all over it. I'd say that's exactly why I have this damn condition and exactly why quitting drinking will make it go away. F***, I'm 31 years old; I guess I really do know how to party like a rock star. I have to quit drinking, that's all there is to it. I'm glad it's because I annihilated my heart and not because I started missing work or turning into a pussy...

Man, I'm sitting here thinking about that....the Adam Carolla show....Ha-ha! I don't know if I'm more stoked about how gnarly I've really been or bummed about the fact that it f***ed my heart all up....doesn't really matter....I handled drinking and now I'm going to handle not drinking.....if this condition was due to smoking grass, I'd probably be buying a gun in a 24 hour pawn shop....nah.....but I'd be way more bummed.....
In all honesty, I was resigned to the life of an alcoholic, pretty damn near made a career out of it. I don't see this as, "tone down the drinking," I see this as, "stop"...."  From Steve-O’s official website.
