Love Island (2015 TV series)
British dating reality show
Love Island is a British reality show. It is a revival of the earlier celebrity series of the same name, which aired for two series in 2005 and 2006. The series is the originator of the international Love Island franchise, with twenty-two versions of it having been produced so far worldwide. Love Island is presented by Maya Jama and narrated by Iain Stirling. The show was previously hosted by Caroline Flack and Laura Whitmore, respectively. Each presenter has also hosted its companion show, Love Island: Aftersun.
The show has been highly successful and influential in British popular culture; it became ITV2's most watched show in the network's history in 2018, and as of 2020 was the most watched TV show among its target audience of 16- to 34-year-olds. However, it has attracted a considerable amount of controversy, with four people linked to the show having died by suicide. Contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis died by suicide after appearing on the program; Gradon's boyfriend died by suicide about 20 days after her death. The following year, the show's original presenter, Caroline Flack, also died by suicide.
