They were then invited back by show bosses to join the series proper as part of Casa Amor where they coupled up with other Islanders.
Now back in the main villa, they have acted like strangers.
A source said: 'Ty and Lauren are acting like they've only just met but that's far from the case.
'They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenges.
'And then they even saw each other on the outside before ITV invited them back to be part of Casa Amor.
'Now they're both in the main villa pretending like none of this ever happened but it's all entirely fake and ITV know about it.
'Viewers deserve to know it's all a huge sham.'
COUPLING UP
Lauren, 26, was selected by Harrison Solomon, 23, whilst Ty, also 23, was chosen by Shakira Khan, 22 in the mid-series relationship test earlier this month.
In a twist of fate, on Tuesday night both of the fakers were dumped by their partners so boomeranged back to each other.

Viewers watched a scene where the pair appeared to chat for the first time.
Ty said: 'I feel like I've not really spoken to you. I feel like I've been catching eyes with you but I've not really had chance to speak to you.
Lauren giggled: 'Yeah I know.'
He asked: 'Are you still open? You knew that was coming. Obviously you're an attractive girl.'

WHO are the latest bombshells heading into the spin-off villa?
The Sun exclusively reported the identities of the six beauties heading into the ITV2 spin-off villa, after it was teased during last week's episode.
The Love Island newbies were seen strolling into the compound clad in swimwear - with one already having a connection to Harry.
On the show's official Instagram page it teased: "Amor the merrier… who's ready for Casa Amor?" and now we can report the full line-up.
Lauren Wood, 26,
Emma Munro, 30
Lucy Quinn, 21
Yasmin Broom, 26
Andrada Pop, 27
Rheo Parnell, 26
Lauren was unable to keep a straight face and laughed, as Ty added: 'I feel like we'd get along.'
The source added: 'Ty and Lauren don't live far from each other at home and they continued seeing each other after the dry run week.
'It was so awkward how the episode made out like they'd never met before.
'I think it's really important viewers know they're being duped.'
Whilst fans are not charged to take part in voting for Love Island on ITV's dedicated mobile phone app, it does host messaging and paid links in a Shop The Show section from the show's sponsors eBay and Boots.
There is also space for ITV's Love Island merchandise.
An ITV spokesperson declined to comment.

Good Morning Britain fans distracted by Kate Garraway 'detail' minutes into programme
Good Morning Britain viewers quickly shared their frustration after spotting an awkward Kate Garraway detail on Thursday Good Morning Britain fans were left distracted by a Kate Garraway "detail" just minutes into Thursday's (July 17) programme. During the latest broadcast of the popular ITV morning show, Kate and her co-host Richard Madeley brought the nation up to speed with the most recent developments from the UK and beyond. The pair discussed next week's five-day strike by resident doctors, and had a chat with actor Martin Shaw, who once passed up the opportunity to portray James Bond. In addition to this, Kate and Richard offered guidance on child safety following warnings about the risks associated with giving slushie drinks to children under seven. Weather updates were regularly provided by Laura Tobin in the studio, while Marverine Cole delivered the rest of the day's news bulletins, reports the Mirror. Yet, it was the apparent lack of coordination between Kate and Richard that caught the attention of viewers, as they seemed to frequently talk over one another. One viewer took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment: "Richard and Kate talking over each other- awkward lol." Another expressed their frustration: "Why are Richard and Kate over talking each other. F****** annoying!" and a third lamented: "Richard is not letting Kate finish her sentences. So painful to watch." A fourth chimed in with a similar observation: "I get the feeling Kate and Richard don't like each other. It's always a match on who will talk first." And yet another viewer noted: "All I am hearing is one female presenter talking over the top of everyone else." Meanwhile, another exasperated fan issued a demand, saying, "@GMB, can you please get Richard and Kate to stop talking over each other? It's horrible to watch." This isn't the first time that Kate has distracted GMB viewers, as she was recently spotted wearing the same outfit used in another ITV fashion segment. Elsewhere on today's show, Kate and Richard spoke to former Celebrity MasterChef star Aasmah Mir, following the news of both Gregg Wallace and John Torode's sacking from the show. The hosts were also joined by entertainment reporter Richard Arnold, who shared exciting news about the final season of Stranger Things and HBO's new Harry Potter series.

ITV This Morning's Ben Shephard dealt huge blow as new series 'delayed'
It seems as though there's bad news for This Morning star Ben Shephard, as his new ITV series has reportedly been delayed. It appears there's disappointing news for This Morning's Ben Shephard as his latest series has allegedly been delayed. The reality show, called The Summit, will feature 14 strangers battling to claim a portion of £200,000 whilst scaling a mountain in New Zealand. Ben temporarily stepped away from his presenting duties on This Morning towards the end of last year during filming, appearing via live video connection to clarify his whereabouts. Whilst The Summit was initially scheduled to broadcast in 2025, it appears the premiere has now been postponed until 2026. Reports suggest the delay stems from scheduling clashes, TVZone claims. Daily Record has approached ITV for a statement. Previously expressing his enthusiasm for the programme, Ben remarked: "This series really has got it all; the contestants are going to be tested in every possible way as they try and take on the mountain. "They'll need a serious amount of grit, determination and strategy if they want to reach The Summit. Most people know how much I love exercise and adventure, but this is taking it to another level. "I'll be donning my mountain gear to check in with them as they battle up the mountain and do their best to combat the demands of the ominous Mountain's Keeper. I can't wait to see how they get on because anyone who reaches The Summit will have seriously earned every penny of the prize fund." ITV's Director of Reality Commissioning and Acquisitions, Paul Mortimer, has hinted that the upcoming show The Summit will have audiences on the edge of their seats with its 'nail-biting' content, reports the Mirror. He remarked: "Not only is this a huge and complex endurance test for the contestants, overseen by the wonderful Ben Shephard, it's going to be an absolute nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat watch for viewers at home. "Filled with cliffhangers, shocks, twists and turns, it's going to keep people guessing from the very first step of the trek to that final summit." Ben Shephard is expected to take a hiatus from television screens in the coming weeks as he takes a summer break from his duties on This Morning. Both Ben and his co-host Cat are expected to make their return in September, with a host of celebrities stepping in during their absence. This Morning has revealed that during this period, viewers can look forward to seeing Emma Willis, Rylan Clark, Sian Welby, Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle and Olivia Attwood taking on presenting roles. The Summit will air on ITV1 and ITVX.

She continued: 'We saw your faces, we have your foot prints & finger prints. & sorry what you were looking for isn't actually kept at the property.' Olivia, who is currently away on holiday, hasn't shared anything more about the situation at her home. The Sun has reached out to Olivia's representatives for comment. It comes after the Love Island star turned TV presenter justified her inclusion in This Morning's line-up of summer presenters, saying: "I've put the hard work in". The Love Island favourite, who has built a successful career fronting documentaries and as a Loose Women panellist, is one of a number of stars filling in for regular hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard over the summer break. Though she's not the first reality star to host the show, with fellow summer star and X Factor icon Rylan Clark having already proven a dab hand on the set, Olivia's villa background hasn't gone down well with some traditionalists who have gone so far as to say they'll "definitely stop watching'. But Olivia, 34, is confident in her abilities and feels she's earned her stripes to become ITV's new golden girl. Olivia Attwood reveals she's landed huge ITV role on This Morning after Loose Women success She exclusively told The Sun: "Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today. "I'm forever grateful to Love Island for being the springboard to my career, but I'm excited to show there's so much more to me beyond the villa." She continued: "It's been a lot of hard work, but I've always stayed focused on my goals and believed in myself and I'm very thankful for ITV in believing me." As someone who grew up watching the show as a child, she knows what it's about and the position it has in the national consciousness. She said: "When I got the gig, I was over the moon! I grew up watching the show, and to be a part of it feels like such a huge achievement!"
