Love Island: Craig David urges people to be kind to contestants ahead of DJ set

Craig David will make an appearance onLove Island, although not as a celebrity contestant. 

The R&B star is going to perform a DJ set for the Islanders to send them “good vibes” for a party that will be aired on Sunday (7 July) night’s episode. 

Fans are already excited about the news, with one tweeting: “Craig David and Love Island, my two guilty pleasures all coming together in one fantastic show.”

David himself used the announcement to address viewers’ treatment of the contestants on social media. 

“These are real people in there. It’s real to people. So just be mindful as always,” he said in an Instagram video. “Be mindful that these are human beings. They can be fragile.”

He added: “I’m here in Majorca and I’m very excited. The islanders don’t get to hear any music when they’re in there.

"To be able to go in there and play music, it’s going to be really like healing. Imagine not having any music.”

Love Island continues at 9pm on Sunday night on ITV2
