Love Island has now aired six days a week for a month. That’s a whopping 24 hours of viewing and probably more time than we spend with most of our real friends in a month.

Iain and Chelsea share their views of the series so far on this episode of Love Island: Sunburnt, from peppermint teas to blonde bombshells and lack of spontaneity.

Ultimately, the episode reflects on whether viewers feel able to commit to another four weeks, or if the nation’s love affair with Love Island is over.

‘This is not Influencer Island’

We ask whether the contestants entering the show are now chasing sponsors and fame, rather than relationships and fun in the sun.

As Brad has left to allow Lucinda to gain more TV time and contestants make headlines for various reasons, has the lack of light-hearted entertainment been overshadowed by upset in and outside of the villa?
