A Love Island fan has praised the show for this year's inclusive representation of those with disabilities.
David Parfett, from Toxteth, has been a fan of the ITV show since its first series. Since then, the 25-year-old claims the show has progressed a lot by featuring contestants with different body types, disabilities and ethnicities. The sports and physical activities coordinator said it was particularly heartwarming this year when he was able to relate to Ron Hall, the first partially-sighted contestant to appear on the dating show.
The former Liverpool Hope University student told the ECHO: “Love Island has progressed since the start and it's really nice to see disability representation on such a popular TV programme. It’s very good that Ron is so open about it and doesn’t shy away from it.
