It sends the nation to a halt faster than a centimetre of snow in December (and divides the nation more than a jar of Marmite). We’re talking about Love Island: the ITV2 reality show that sees a group of fit, half-naked people finding love. On an island (naturally).
Whether you like it or not, it feels like all anyone can talk about at the moment. Why? Well, mindless voyeurism for one. But also because it’s just Proper Good Telly. A chance to see all manner of relationships and interactions laid bare on the small screen. A great anthropological experiment you can watch with a brew and a bacon butty. Scripted by Shakespeare. Dressed by Nasty Gal.
Still, we have questions. And while Aftersun, the Love Island companion show, gives us somewhat of an overview, what we need is someone who’ll unpack the meat in full force. A person unafraid to lay on the big questions factor 50 thick.
For our final fifth episode (boo!), Raven Smith has enlisted the help of serial dater Amelia Dimoldenberg. She’s taken a fair few of the UK’s biggest music acts on dates – to chicken shops – so we’d like to think she knows a thing or two about the rocky path to true love. They’ll be rounding up Love Island 2019, discussing the contestants in the – gasp! – real world, the brilliance of Amber and Greg winning in the shock turn-of-events and… Chris Hemsworth. Enjoy!
