Frankie Davey, who appeared on season nine of the hit reality show, left viewers raging after sharing his hot take on TikTok.
The 24-year-old said: "I haven't worn suncream now for a good three or four years - I'm quite against it.
"It's full of chemicals and toxins that your body... well, isn't good for your body, basically.
"I never recommend going straight into heat like this, being pale as anything.
"You need to build it up.
"There is science on this.
"It's a fact that when your sunglasses are down, you feel like you're inside and your body doesn't produce the chemical to protect your skin, which then leads to burning.
"Listen to your body.
'When you feel like you're burning, when your skin is hot, seek some shade.
'A lot of people put suncream on when they already feel like they're burning, and then stay in the sun.

'That is just counterintuitive.'
The Ipswich-born boxer, who recently went on holiday to Greece, captioned the video "how to tan and NOT burn".
He also explained in the clip how he applied coconut oil, which he deems to be a "natural SPF".
The clip received more than 16,500 likes and 200 comments.
Advice for adults and children on sunscreen and sun safety in the UK and abroad
The experts at the NHS have warned that sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer.
They state that despite the common misconception, sunburn ''does not just happen on holiday''.
This means that you can burn in the UK, even on days when it's cloudy.
''There's no safe or healthy way to get a tan. A tan does not protect your skin from the sun's harmful effects.''

Most viewers have slammed Frankie's controversial advice, with several sharing their thoughts in the comments section of his TikTok video.
"Sunburn is literally DNA damage," said one person in the comments.
"This is dangerous information," fumed another.
A third person wrote: "My Irish skin could never, I tried this and burned."
"Please update me in 20 to 30 years," said a fourth.
"Social media boxer vs medical professionals, I think I know whose advice I'll follow," penned a fifth.
"When I feel like I'm burning go inside, why did I never think of that before," said a sixth.
Some fans, however, agreed with his claims.

Charley Hull withdraws from Evian Championship after collapsing on course
Charley Hull has withdrawn from the Evian Championship after collapsing after a tee shot during her first round. The Englishwoman was taken from the course at the French major on a medical cart on Thursday morning. Reports from the event said Hull sat by the side of a bunker on the 3rd hole, clearly looking unwell. Having taken a 15-minute medical break, Hull hit her tee shot on the 4th and slumped to the ground. She duly withdrew from the tournament, with broadcasters reporting the world No 19 had been suffering from an unspecified virus. Hull's management has been contacted for an update on her situation. The 29-year-old Hull had started her round in the French mountains on the 10th and, somewhat remarkably, was one under par before this scenario unfolded. It now remains to be seen whether Hull will recover in time for the final major on the women's calendar, the British Open at Royal Porthcawl from 31 July. She is due to tee up in the Scottish Open during the previous week. Hull remains without a major win to her name but tied 12th in each of her last two appearances. She shared third at the Evian in 2022. Leona Maguire shot a 65 to claim an early share of the Evian lead. The English amateur Lottie Woad's 68 continued excellent recent form. Woad will earn a LPGA Tour card if she finishes in the top 25 in France.

Children's online posts reveal trauma of living with health issues
The social media activity of children with multiple long-term health issues have revealed they also undergo severe emotional distress. Children with conditions such as cancer, asthma, chronic pain and mental health conditions showed particularly high levels of trauma, highlighting the emotional burden of managing multiple long-term health issues. Research led by the University of Plymouth used AI language models to analyse sentiments and emotions expressed by almost 400 paediatric patients and their caregivers on social media. In particular, they wanted to assess young people's opinions regarding their care and experiences during the Covid -19 pandemic, and the impact that had on their emotional and psychological wellbeing. Using anonymous data sourced from the Care Opinion platform, they found that of the narratives analysed, almost 94% of the comments posted were classed as negative and less than 6% were positive. More than six out of 10 negative comments were classed as being associated with sadness, with feelings of fear – at almost one in every six comments – also being prevalent. The Covid-19 pandemic was also shown to exacerbate the negative sentiments, particularly sadness and disgust, with patients expressing frustration with the healthcare system while isolation and disrupted care routines triggered intense emotional responses. While just 6% of the comments were classed as positive, the study found that most of them related to effective communication, compassionate care, and successful treatment outcomes. The researchers say the study highlights the importance of supporting vulnerable young patients managing complex medical conditions, and the need for integrated care approaches to both physical and emotional well-being. Professor of e-Health Shang-Ming Zhou led the research, and its data analysis was carried out by MSc data science and business analytics student Israel Oluwalade. Prof Zhou, a recognised expert in the use of AI to analyse health data, said: 'To our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind to analyse the sentiments and emotions of paediatric patients using social media data. 'Our findings bring to light the deeply emotional journey patients with multiple long-term health issues go through and fills a critical gap in knowledge for healthcare professionals and agencies. 'It also highlights the disproportionate emotional burden faced by paediatric patients with multiple health issues and their caregivers during the pandemic, showing the need for targeted interventions to address emotional responses during public health emergencies.' Mr Oluwalade added: 'As I worked through the dataset, I was particularly struck by how clearly children's emotional responses aligned with specific comorbidity patterns. 'For example, fear and sadness were especially dominant among those discussing multiple hospital visits or long-term medication. 'What also surprised me most was the unexpectedly high frequency of 'satisfaction' and 'amazement' in posts referencing kind staff or successful treatment episodes. 'It reminded me how digital expressions can reflect not only distress but also resilience and hope, even among young patients with complex conditions.'
