This has really wound me up this morning so blatantly obvious as well. Why on earth would they do this?

Jake & Liberty weren't even in the finals but they still managed to make the front page.

I had to Google because I don’t watch the show. I think you know why. The only black couple.. both black I mean hers excluded.

Seems like something the UK media would do. And they know why they did it too.

I suppose 'the real winners' means they have to have some differences to the actual,line up for the finals. Kaz and Tyler were 4th of 4, so that might be the reason they were the ones most likely to be excluded.

But you're right, it looks bad

(I'd have omitted Faye, because of the statements from DV charities following her conduct)

Saw this on active threads, this is so wrong. The article/pictures should surely be about either all 4 finalists, or just the winners.

This is wrong, but sadly not surprising from the UK media.

I don't watch Love Island, but knew there was a Black couple in the last 4. This doesn't surprise me in the slightest, and is absolutely because they didn't want to feature a Black couple (though quite comfortable showcasing Black man, white woman).

Not surprising unfortunately. I get wanting to include Jake and Liberty because they were such a big part of the show and seemed obvious winners before it fell apart, but they really should have included Kaz and Tyler as well
