I feared it but hoped it wouldn't be the case. There will never be a black winner of love island.

Of the final 5 couples, three of the lads were black.

Priscilla was also black, Sophie was mixed race and Nas is of Pakistani heritage.
Amber won last year. Tommy Fury’s father is a traveller and his mother is from Mauritius, so he’s mixed race too.

In fairness to the producers they always have a diverse range of contestants. How well they do is more to do with their personalities and less to do with their skin colours.

Hopefully that's the permanent end of this thrash.

He's not blaming it on Love Island, he's saying that the UK public are the reason for this.

And so what if Amber won? That's not a black couple.

He said there’s never been a black winner. Amber won last year, so that isn’t true at all.

Well, its all over now!

It would be lovely if Siannise and Luke T have a future together.

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 3 months before the Summer season begins. ☀️

I'm surprised Finn and Paige one! I genuinely thought it'd be Luke T and Siannise were going to cinch it!

Not that I'm unhappy but just unexpected.

Now to watch Love is Blind I suppose..

If you thought falling in love in 5 weeks was quick, wait til you watch that show.

So cringe.

I'm going to miss Love Island tonight, it is the first season I've watched of it and I've gotten so used to tuning in every night!

I, for one, won't ever be watching again. If Luke T can't win it, then no black person ever can. Disgusted.

So many people have told me to watch it and that it's mad haha but decided to wait until Love Island is over :P

Even my parents saw clips of it on Gogglebox and couldn't get over it! "Only the Americans.."

I really don't think race or colour came into this at all, sure it was a surprise result in the summer one too with amber and greg winning and we all thought molly and tommy were a sure thing....and as someone already said amber is mixed race. its just how it worked out but it does illustrate that no couple are a sure thing! I was disappointed luke and siannise (or however you spell it) didn't win but that was purely based on them seeming to be a great couple and likeable people, more so than paige and fin, in my opinion. Skin colour just doesn't come into it!

Celebs go Dating starts tonight and Amy the crazy Curtis stalker is on it.
After the disappointment of this series of love island this show should bring a few laughs.

E4 at 9pm.
I’ve watched a few of these seasons and it’s very funny.
Some celebs come across great, eg Joey Essex and Pete Wicks, them 2 are very smooth with the women and have serious charm. The Lee Ryan from Blue came across great also, a real charming and funny guy.
Then with others the decision to go on this show backfires as their lousy personality shows, eg Jack from LI ex-Dani Dyer.

I think someone needs to take their daily meds tbh... I'm just calling out inherit racism, don't know how you're making me the bad guy, but whatever makes you tick I suppose.

Yeah, so inherent you’re the only person who can see it and the only person who thinks it was a factor in who the public chose to win :rolleyes:

I think we'll leave it there. No point entertaining it.

Yep there has been about 6 seasons previous, and they are all hilarious.
Rob Beckitt is a lot funnier as a commentator than the Scottish fella on love island.

It is a total shightfest, what have I been missing? The chat up lines.... this is proper trash TV, loving it.

Do we get to follow them on their "dates" ?

Yeah it will be on every night now for the next 3 weeks, maybe not sat nights. It’s one of the funniest shows on tv. You can probably get the older series on the more4 player, tho it would take forever to watch them.

Just watched the final and must the the winter series was atrocious and not a patch on last summer.

Only Mike and Siânnise were any bit interesting.

They really wanna mix it up for the summers series and do something different as it's way too samey the last couple of series now!
