Love Island - is it time for better LGBTQ+ representation?

Love Island's latest series is as drama-filled and explosive as we could have hoped - but is something missing?

The reality TV show, which returned to our screens last month, has come under attack for its lack of diversity.

So, do you think Love Island should have better LGBTQ+ representation? Fill out our poll to have your say! You can also let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Earlier this year, ITV commissioner Amanda Stavri addressed fans' requests to diversify the show.

Speaking to Radio Times, she said: "It goes without saying that we want to encourage greater inclusivity and diversity...

"In terms of gay Islanders, I think the main challenge is regarding the format of Love Island.

"There’s a sort of logistical difficulty, because although Islanders don’t have to be 100% straight, the format must sort of give [them] an equal choice when coupling up."

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2
