Love Island star Sharon Gaffka slams lack of plus-sized contestants as new cast unveiled

Following changes to the line-up of Love Island 2022 as producers attempt to make the ITV2 dating show more diverse and inclusive, former Love Island star Sharon Gaffka has insisted that the popular reality show has not done enough to represent body diversity.

Sharon, 26, appeared on Love Island in 2021 alongside winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon, and while she's happy to see more diversity in terms of ethnicity in this year's cast, she has said that producers could have done a lot more to include contestants with 'normal' body types.

During an appearance on TalkTV’s The News Desk, the former reality TV star suggested that she's tired of seeing men enter the villa with 'stereotypical' six-packs and only seeing petite women making it onto the screen.
