Love Island’s first week is well underway and fans are already in a stir as the first bombshell, Davide, has entered the villa and has been turning heads already. Though, fans tuning in tonight, June 8, are furious as the boys in the villa are ‘not talking to’ the two black girls that have entered the villa, Indiyah and Amber.
This season the public paired the Islanders upon their arrival but following the arrival of ‘Italian Stallion’ Davide, one Islander, Liam is already single and vulnerable after Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma was picked by the new arrival. Indiyah has been coupled up with Irishman Dami whilst Amber has been paired with Ikenna, though fans are calling out that they are barely getting any airtime on the show.
One fan of the popular ITV dating show shared: “These boys are talking to everyone BUT the black girls.” Whilst another agreed: “Are they invisible at this point. It’s a violation.” A third chimed in: “Yh cuz they barely get screen time either.”

Another wrote: “Glad someone else noticed. This is so painful.”
However, not everyone agreed and said: “Oh give it a break with the constant race card, they’re probably not their type or maybe prefer to be friends with them.”
Another pointed out the lack of airtime for anyone but new couple Davide and Gemma, they wrote: “Love island twitter waiting for the producers to focus on anyone else but Gemma and Davide.”
“There’s how many million people in this big UK and love island always go find the ones that are not attracted to black girls ? Please let us do the castings next time man”, wrote another viewer.
Some fans felt the episode was weighted way too far on the love triangle between Tasha, Andrew and Luca and one fan called instead to focus on the girls more, they wrote: “Give me more Tasha amber indiyah trio!!! Or just more amber and indiyah in general.”
Another viewer questioned: “Have any of these white boys even spoken to Amber or Indiyah?”
“Indiyah looked like a whole meal to be given 0.5 seconds of screen time?”
