BUtterfield 8 40,830 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 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.

edengowon 9,894 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 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.

Guest Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Tbh it's for the best, because you just know they would all be the typical "straight acting" muscle gays who you see on Instagram and would be even more problematic than the straight version.
