Speaking on a virtual Edinburgh TV Festival session on Wednesday (25 August), Lygo shut down the idea of inviting queer contestants onto the ITV dating game show, which this week finished its seventh series.

He said: “Love Island is a particular thing. It’s about boys and girls coupling up, so if you want to do it as a gay version or you want to widen it, it is discussed and we haven’t yet found a way that would make it suitable for that show.”

Diverting the conversation from Love Island, the ITV executive made a point of explaining that Dancing on Ice had featured a same-sex couple and a blind competitor, while I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here had included a disabled contestant last year.

literally just recruit either a bunch of gays or a bunch of bisexuals and shove them in the house together. it's not that hard. i'd rather they just said they didn't wanna do it than lie and say they don't know how when it's an incredibly simple concept.

I'm just saying that it isn't hard to make a gay love island. Gays are all human.

Tbh it's for the best, because you just know they would all be the typical "straight acting" :neyde: muscle gays who you see on Instagram and would be even more problematic than the straight version.

But why tho? Someone should make 'Lube Island' and have every contestant be LGBT and no straights :billie:

The only logistical difficulties would be having to deal with homophobes and biphobes
