In a revealing piece written for The Metro, ex-Love Island contestant Sharon Gaffka opened up on her time in the villa and coming out as bisexual on the show last year.
Gaffka spoke about the conversations that have been circulating about the lack of LGBTQ+ representation on the hit reality dating show.
The star said that members of the LGBTQ+ community have been “fighting for representation on TV for decades”, stating that despite “taking strides in the right direction” it doesn’t mean that “the queer community are getting fair opportunities”.
In this powerful statement, Gaffka opened with the fact that June marks Pride Month and the start of Love Island season eight.
