Loved by the nation, ITV2’s Love Island concluded on the 11th July with an astonishing 1.35 million viewers; more than twice the figures of last year. From fiery disputes to passion-filled nights in the hot villa, it’s safe to say that Love Island provided the nation with jaw dropping drama throughout. So here’s 5 do’s and don’ts we’ve learnt from the Love Island class of 2016…
Don’t live out of each other’s pockets
At least in the beginning of the relationship anyway. Love Island shows young couples spending every minute of every day together for 6 weeks, with couples only just having met each other. It’s likely that being placed in a situation where their partner is around them 24/7 from the very start could make couples feel claustrophobic and ignite even the smallest of arguments. This quite obviously is not a natural situation in real life but it goes to show that it is important to take time away from your partner and instead, cherish dates and quality time together.
Do invest in some retro sunglasses
Retro sunglasses were a real trend this season. Featuring a rounded shape, a protruding double bridge and bold multi-coloured lenses; the style became a firm favourite with the islanders. The ‘Black Edna Chunky Eye’ sunglasses are selling on River Island for £16, showcasing all of the aspects the stars loved on the show.
Don’t mess with a hungry man
Or in other words, don’t gobble your boyfriend’s toastie. But seriously, what is it about a man when he’s hungry? Is there any such thing as sharing? Well according to Terry the answer is most definitely no!
Don’t overreact
Seeing Love Islander Kady McDermott transform from a young, emotional girl who reacted to everything her partner Scott did, into a mature, relaxed woman, shows us all that it can be done. Whether it’s throwing a strop over your partner not sharing a toastie or being upset over not receiving enough affection, there are worse things going on in this world. Not everything needs a reaction and that can be learned.
Do remember that it’s reality
I’m sure it is an obvious thought for most, but Love Island is a prime example of an entertaining show that places its stars in unrealistic situations; whether it’s having to greet your ex in front of your current partner, or watching a girl smother your partner in kisses. All of the scenarios the contestants have to undergo are completely unnatural and a recipe for a relationship disaster. But I suppose it is that element that makes the programme so great.
