She has a point.
So, we’ve established that I’m not all that in to Love Island, right?
However, it wasn’t really a personal thing against the show, until I saw what Leigh from Little Mix had to say.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock is has said that she will be boycotting the show.
Why? Due to Love Island’s lack of diversity.
Taking over Little Mix’s official Twitter page, Leigh-Anne wrote:
“How many weeks in and we are yet to see hardly any diversity in @LoveIsland.”
“I’m tuning off! #disappointed #diversity x Leigh.”
She has a point, lads.
How many weeks in and we are yet to see hardly any diversity in @LoveIsland I’m tuning off! 🤦🏽♀️ #disappointed #diversity x Leigh

Fans came out in support of Leigh Anne, tweeting in agreement:

And I also agree.
From what I’ve seen online, all the contestants of Love Island are slim, toned and of a similar aesthetic.
It goes beyond racial diversity in my opinion, where are all the fuller figures at? (asking for a friend).
No wonder girls are so insecure and have self-confidence about their bodies these days when you have girls with 'perfect bodies' in the villa but no curvy girls. 💔😢

Goodie. Another reason not to watch this show.
