July 11th 2024.
Have you ever wondered how much the Love Island contestants know about what's happening in the outside world? It's been over a month since these stars have been cut off from reality, all in the name of finding true love.
But being off the grid and on the hunt for love comes with sacrifices. The contestants must give up their mobile phones, which means no calls to mom for advice on potential partners, no scrolling through social media, and worst of all, no access to The Agency.
Their isolation from the outside world means they won't be privy to the same news that the rest of the country is bombarded with. And let's just say, they've missed out on quite a few major events in the past few days.
With a new prime minister taking office and the England football team's success in the Euros, the islanders are completely in the dark. "It's so weird that none of the people on Love Island know about the Euros final or our new Labour PM," exclaimed Amy Fenson. "Wait, these islanders don't even know about the Labour government or the Euro finals, that's insane!" added Blackberry babe, whose sentiment was shared by over 11,000 people. "They've missed out on so much tea," she continued.
But will the producers of Love Island make any exceptions to their strict no-outside-influence rule? Let's find out.
It's been an eventful few days for England, who secured a spot in the Euros final after a tense match against Netherlands. And to top it off, Ollie Watkins scored a last-minute wonder goal, sending the country into a frenzy. But will the Love Island stars get to witness this historic moment? Or will they be too busy finding their forever person? Some may argue that witnessing such a momentous event is just as important as finding love.
When contacted for comment, a representative for Love Island revealed that the islanders will indeed be watching the final. "There will be a nod to it in the show or on Aftersun, either on Sunday or Monday. More details to come," they confirmed. It seems like the viewing party will go both ways, as the England squad also admitted to keeping up with the show.
This isn't the first time a major football match has been shown in the villa. In 2021, when England faced Italy in the Euro finals, the cast watched it together in the villa. But unfortunately, the game didn't end well for England, and the same could happen this time around. Only time will tell.
But that's not the only major event the islanders may have missed out on. On July 5, the country saw a big shift in government, with the Labour Party winning by a landslide after 14 years of conservative rule. Rishi Sunak lost his position as prime minister and was replaced by Sir Kir Starmer. But while politicians were busy campaigning for votes, the Love Island contestants were busy getting to know each other and finding potential connections. So how informed are they about these major political changes?
The general election was announced on May 22, and the first episode of Love Island aired on June 3. This suggests that the cast would have been aware of the election and had the chance to submit a postal vote. However, it's worth noting that the contestants go into a pre-villa lockdown at a hotel, so they may have already been separated from their phones.
But even if they were aware of the election, the islanders are not told the date or time in the villa. So if they had any questions about it, they would have to ask the production staff for answers. We reached out to ITV for further clarification on the matter.
Don't miss tonight's episode of Love Island at 9pm on ITV2. And if you have any celebrity stories, videos, or pictures, please get in touch with our entertainment team by emailing us or giving us a call. We would love to hear from you.
