Love Island star – “X-rated? Show is more like a PG now.”
LOVE ISLAND has been toned down since it began, according to a former Love Island contestant.
Amy Day told GB News, the programme was now “more PG” than x-rated.
In an interview with Mark Dolan the 25-year-old ex Love Islander said; “If anything there’s not enough s****ing! No it’s very PG, it’s more PG now than it was back in the day.”
“When I was on it they were allowed more alcohol,” she revealed. “Now it’s very much more regimented. They run a tighter ship.”
Despite being in its eighth series, Amy said she didn’t think viewers were getting bored.
“I definitely don’t think there’s too much of it,” she said “I don’t think people are necessarily more sick [of it] than they were before. It gives us an hour each night to sit back and forget about everything. I think there’s a reason why it’s still on our TVs and there’s a reason why Love Island is the UK’s number one most watched television show.”
Amy, who appeared on the seventh series of Love Island in 2021, added:: “I think it’s because we’re weirdly interested in human behaviour. I think for me, the whole experience and the experiment of Love Island is just so abnormal. You’re putting a bunch of people into a bubble to see how they can get through life. It’s almost a guinea pig.”
“I think it will definitely carry on for the foreseeable future because it is still real, it’s not scripted. It’s a different kettle of fish to Coronation Street or any other TV series that you have. And if anything, we still have those TV series, so it’s up to you what you want to watch.”
Amy’s comments came after a dramatic night on the show as the long-awaited Movie Night returned to Love Island and brought all the usual drama along with it.
Luca Bish was left absolutely fuming when he witnessed throwback scenes of his partner Gemma Owen flirting up a storm with new boy Billy Brown – while Davide branded Ekin-Su a ‘liar’ over her behaviour in Casa Amor.
Shouting at dressage ride Gemma, 19, fishmonger Luca, 23, raged: ‘If you wanna flirt then I’ll flirt, get me a bombshell in here now!’ as he lost his temper over her antics while his back was turned.
Ahead of the outburst, the boys and girls took part in a pub quiz, with the boys winning the second point and choosing to watch a clip entitled: ‘She’s just not that into you.’
The video showed an old clip of Dami reading Gemma’s mind where he suggested that Luca was more into her than she was into him and predicted that her head could be turned if a bombshell ticked all her boxes.
Laughing Gemma replied: ‘I don’t think you’re that far wrong with that you know!’
