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.

Old housemates, old school friends, family members, - they even asked a local launderette for an itinerary of what I've had washed!

All this from billionaire owned media because they don't want a party to continue growing that challenges power & wealth.

The system is rigged.

An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits.

We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

Herself and fellow Derry Girl Nichola Coughlan (a staunch supporter of trans rights) not being mates - not even keeping in touch - makes more sense now.

People who take a role in this audiobook are telling you who they really are. I'm urging you to believe them.

"All we see is Labour kowtowing to the far right. This causes me enormous concern"

"Because aside from being a student of natural history, I'm a student of history, and I know what happened in the middle of the last century"

Owen Jones, "It wasn't great"

Chris Packham, "And there are clear parallels between some of the processes that were undertaken by political parties at that point that I'm seeing now"

"I'm frustrated, I'm angry, and I've frightened"

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.
