You might not want to admit you watched it, but it seems like everyone is talking about Love Island.
In case you haven’t seen it, it’s a reality TV show where attractive young men and women spend a few weeks in the sun sunbathing and having fun with the hope that they can ‘couple up’ and ‘crack on’.
It’s all a bit of a laugh, but there’s a serious side, as one couple will win 50-thousand pounds. They’ll also be in line to win tens of thousands more given their hugely enhanced status as ‘influencers’.
More recently, there’s been concern expressed that TV networks need to do more to protect contestants and support them after they leave the villa. This year, there’s been a lot of Irish interest with Longford’s very own Maura Higgins, Limerick’s Greg O’Shea, and Dublin’s Yewande Biala.
The Final was last night and despite all their hype, Maura and Curtis were the first couple eliminated from the finale of Love Island, coming fourth in the competition overall. But Limerick’s very own Greg O’Shea took the top prize and decided to share it with his partner, Amber Gill.
Laura Holland who is a Communications Specialist from Cratloe joined us on the show to get her thoughts on what happened over the last 2 months.
