OPINION - ’Sure, most of us watch Love Island because it feeds an addiction to trash television and we’re extremely nosy about other people’s sex lives. I don’t see anything wrong with that and, taken simply on those merits, it really is one of the best programmes ever made...

...Even if you don’t “do” identity politics in your normal life, watching Love Island makes the complexities of British society so tangible they can’t be ignored. Whether or not you backed the #MeToo movement, you will have an opinion on whether Adam Collard was a misogynist’ (Leah Green, The Guardian)

SUNSET - ’The sun has set on Love Island for another year. The islanders have gone from nobodies to telly stars in weeks...Several are likely to become millionaires through guest appearances, stints in other reality shows and fashion contracts’ (Daily Star)
