SAND KICKED IN EYES OF ‘LOVE ISLAND SA’

IF YOU’RE looking to watch Love Island SA after it airs, then you’ll have to wait a bit longer.

Making an enquiry on Twitter on Wednesday, a DStv customer @ AnneDoli asked when the episodes would appear on Catch Up.

This follows the online reaction to the dating reality TV show.

She said: “Guys, I really want to see the bad production of Love Island SA myself, but the only thing on Catch-Up is the trailer. @DStv when will the episodes be loaded?”

The DStv Care account addressed her query, stating that the episodes had been removed and would be re-uploaded at a later date, as per a request from M-Net.

IOL Entertainment has reached out to DStv to find out when the episodes would be uploaded, and is waiting for a response.

The show received backlash from fans for the lack of diversity and bad production.

A statement sent to IOL Entertainment by a DStv spokesperson regarding the criticism said: “We pride ourselves in reflecting diversity and inclusion for all our shows, including Love Island.

“The many channels and thousands of programme hours we produce are a testament to this.”

The spokesperson said the show would feature more diversity as more islanders entered the villa. | Jamal Grootboom
