When personal trainer Jack Fowler locked lips with aspiring actress Georgia Steel on Love Island, the torrid kiss summed up everything that has made the show a guilty pleasure for millions. He was shamelessly cheating on Laura Anderson, another contestant – and Laura’s supposed friendship with Georgia was shattered in an instant. But the deception went far further than a single broken heart. For the passionate embrace in last year’s series is one of many instances of TV fakery in the supposed reality show, according to whistleblowers who have spoken to The Mail on Sunday. ITV acknowledge the show is a ‘combination of reality and produced elements’ but deny it is fake.

It’s just an excuse to show hot young bodies seducing and deceiving each other for sexually repressed and frustrated viewers who don’t have a life.

Did you think that anything that’s shown on TV is real, normal and natural?

Unfortunately, there are hundreds of millions of people who think exactly that - and they vote.

The only thing real about reality TV is that its TV.

Utter crap.

Haven't watched, won't watch.

The 20 second promo on my local channel was enough.

"Indeed, it is so lucrative that the network announced last week there will be two series a year from 2020."
"Companies are flocking to advertise their products on Love Island "

Decadence seems to be very profitable. Let's see what the millions of Muslims think about that, when they get into power.

Exactly, all “reality” tv is fake as hell.
Its like Pro Wrestling.
Pure Garbage, but it is an interesting view of what people will do to be on tv and to become “famous”.

Exactly. Anyone who watches a “reality” show and think they are seeing anything real is naive at best.

Of course the show is fake.
And the newspaper that reports this is also guilty of faking “news.”

And I’d read an article describing why people would do this. An article written by someone intelligent.

But I could NEVER watch one of these shows.

Amazingly, I know a number of conservatives who LOVE these shows.

ALL are women.

So does this mean Teresa Caputo really does NOT talk to dead people!? P.S. I think Larry went to the Gay side.

Nails me pretty well, but, I don't watch it. Who does?

I know a woman here in Maine who was on “Survivor.”

She had to send all the clothes she was going to wear on the show to the producers for their approval.

I heard Naked and Afraid contestants aren’t really naked, but are forced to wear clingy blurred ‘pasties.’ And that the wild animals you see are edited in from “Ramar of the Jungle.’

It must be true, because the guy who told me had applied for a chance to be on the show but was turned down simply because he was blind and crippled.
