Love Island is nearly upon us with the hit show returning to our screens in a month's time.But every year when the show is on one question seems to be floating around more than any other: is Love Island scripted?The question often arises after one of the Islanders makes a decision viewers deem to be improbable or informed by public opinion outside the villa - aka made due to the input of one of the show's producers.An example of this was Faye Winter's change of heart following complaints regarding the way she spoke to Teddy Soares.The producers of the show have adamantly denied that it is scripted, with a representative of the show telling Metro, “As anyone who watches the show regularly would know, Love Island is a combination of reality and produced elements that are reflective of what’s happening in the villa, and is a fair and accurate representation of villa life.They went on to say, “It is absolutely untrue to suggest that Love Island is fake, staged or scripted. The opinions they have and the relationships formed are completely within the control of the Islanders themselves.”While this may be the case, the editing of the show does effect its narrative, as editors and producers have final control over what makes it onto our tellies.
