Love Island’s Tina Provis Spoke Up About Racism On Reality TV And The Response Was Unexpected

Love Island Australia reality TV star Tina Provis

Tina Provis from Love Island has opened up on Instagram about the complicated feelings of growing up outside of the white norm in Australia. The reality TV star, who walked away from the villa victorious back in 2021, said she was hit by an intrusive thought during filming: “I am not as good as someone who is white.”

For a bunch of people, this might seem a bit out of the blue. But it’s a thought that flickers through your head as a person of colour – whether it’s going for jobs, turning up to a blind date, or even scanning a room at an event and realising you’re the odd one out.
