It’s ironic, really, that the contestants who have made the biggest impact with viewers were the ones that had the most entertaining personalities – Cara, Nathan, Jack, Danni, Kem and Chris. Even more ironically (bar Chris), these were the contestants that didn’t look as if they were pagenat queens or, y’know, carved from stone.

A spokesperson for Love Island has said: “When casting for Love Island, we always strive to reflect the age, experiences and diversity of our audience and this year is no exception with a cross section of different personalities and backgrounds in the villa.”

Maybe they are waiting for their moment to do better, maybe the contestants that will be joining the villa in due course will be more accurate to that statement – more diverse and more representative.

Since this statement was released along with the line-up of this year’s contestants - which have been met with cries of disappointment (including my own) - the show’s co-creator and producer, Richard Cowles, has responded with the following: “You try and be as representative and diverse as possible, but it has to come back to, first and foremost, it’s an entertainment show, and it’s about people wanting to watch people on screen and them reacting and falling in love with one another.”

“Where else can you watch people who arrive as strangers fall in love in eight weeks? That’s an amazing thing, to watch love in real time. Yes, we want to be as representative as possible but we also want them to be attracted to one another.”
