This baby is super happy with herself that she’s fully potty trained 😅

[Laz @LongForLaz]

@Okunrin_metaa Im interested in seeing how it develops, even if I feel it won’t at all 😅

[Laz @LongForLaz]

@Okunrin_metaa I think they’re pegged to fx conversions, so can fluctuate. So i think its around this mark

[Laz @LongForLaz]

@OTOCoker Yeah but who she was talking about was very specific whilst the screenshots above where general discussion points off of a wedding post

[Laz @LongForLaz]

Now you know this is a false equivalence when your tweet was about a specific person & their lifestyle whilst these tweets are general discussion points.

[FunkLip @funkomi]

I'm also going to get in trouble for this but hmm... ka?

[Laz @LongForLaz]

@Okunrin_metaa Which ones??

[Laz @LongForLaz]

Ate too late if I want to go gym this evening…

Unfortunately, yes I sure DO give up on people. You can’t continuously disappoint me, distract me, not pour into me & expect me to continue showing up for you. No can do.

This Henry Novak issue is crazy because actively both of these children are children of migration, but we’re flying flags of ‘Britain’ because he was white killed by someone brown.

This just shows it’s never been about your country, and just about your race.

I’ve worked on #LoveIsland UK since Series 5, producing Series 5-10, before moving on to Love Island USA and Love Island Australia. I’m incredibly proud to have been part of a show that has become embedded in British culture. The twists, drama, and unforgettable cast members have created some of the best reality television of the last decade.

But if we’re being honest, one issue has persisted for years: casting.

Time and time again, Love Island UK has failed to truly reflect the diversity of modern Britain. Representation matters, and no group has been more consistently let down than Black women. Ironically, Black women have been some of the show’s most loyal supporters, driving conversations online, creating viral moments, and helping keep the show culturally relevant.

Yet year after year, we continue to cast Black women alongside men who openly or implicitly don’t date Black women. The result is a cycle that viewers have watched repeatedly: rejection, exclusion, and disappointment. For young Black girls watching at home, that’s a damaging message. For audiences generally, it’s become predictable and exhausting.

When I left after Series 10, things were improving. Contestants like Tyrique, Ella, Catherine, Whitney & previous series with Dami, Indiyah, Kai, Sanam, Kaz, Samira, Yewande and others helped create some of the show’s most memorable storylines.

However, working on Love Island USA showed me how powerful genuine representation can be. Seeing contestants from different racial, cultural and ethnic backgrounds authentically connect created richer stories, stronger characters, and ultimately a bigger audience.

My role on Love Island was in edit producing, not casting despite my vast experience in casting on other shows I raised concerns about casting throughout my time on the show.

If Love Island UK wants to reverse its ratings decline, it needs to listen to viewers. Audiences are asking for fresher casting, more authentic representation, and a creative reset. If those changes don’t happen, I genuinely worry about the long-term future of a show that so many of us care deeply about.

For the culture.

@funkomi 😅 Thanks for clarifying

[Uncluche @TheBlackHermit]

This is so razz

[Ebsnflows💋 @ebsthegreatest]

This is RHOA level shade, he went to the school of Nene 😩😩😩

[Mummy of London @ImaniDH_]

Because she’s been open about her career? Og tweet implied that’s not just the source of the lavish lifestyle….you even said she openly posts what she does. What’s there to wonder again?

[Laz @LongForLaz]

Huhhhhhhh

'This needs to be a Stephen Lawrence moment': Kemi Badenoch says police handcuffing dying white teenager falsely accused of racism must be a turning point https://t.co/DJ2luW04s3

[J @BigJamzLdn]

A Sikh guy kills a white boy and white officers ignore his dying calls but somehow this has become about Muslims and black people.

What a country

[Tianna, the Writer @tiannathewriter]

While the far right are concerned about ethnic minorities is anyone paying attention to police officers who cuffed a victim who was bleeding out?? Where are they??

[Mel Smith @iamMelsmith]

I’m still not over D’Angelo.
