While in the Love Island villa, Molly Marsh found a connection with fellow Islander Zachariah Noble and, despite initially ruffling a few feathers, the pair’s relationship appeared to be going from strength-to-strength.

Every year thousands of singletons around the country apply for a place in the villa in the hope of finding the one, but as the ITVX show has grown in popularity, some viewers have questioned whether certain contestants are searching for a mega-bucks clothing line deal, or a boost in social media numbers, rather than a romantic soulmate.

K.J. Yossman ITV boss Carolyn McCall said former “This Morning” anchor Phillip Schofield’s relationship with a young runner on this show was “deeply inappropriate.” McCall was appearing before a U.K. Culture Media and Sport Committee (CMS) parliamentary inquiry on the working culture and duty of care at ITV following the controversy around Schofield and his time on the long-running daytime show. McCall was joined by ITV’s MD for media and entertainment Kevin Lygo and general counsel Kyla Mullins.

Three days into this year’s series of Love Island, fans of the show have dubbed it 'London Island'. Noticing that the bulk of the summer 2023 stars so far seemed to hail from London and the surrounding areas, many fans couldn’t resist calling out the show as they asked “Where are the farmers?” The main argument stemmed from the fact that there were plenty of London accents on offer this year, but a distinct lack of regional flair from the majority of the Islanders. Although we know so far there are contestants hailing from outside the capital, many fans had been hoping for a more varied set of accents among the lovelorn hopefuls.
