She’s had enough.

Fans of the pop princess praised her for speaking out about the issue, with one writing: “Leigh I love you so much for this.”
She’s not the only person who has noticed there is a lack of diversity on this year’s show.
Another viewer wrote: “Over 80,000 people applied for #loveisland this year, I doubt Samira was the only black woman out of these people to do so. There are now 12 women in the villa only one of which is a black woman, what's that about @LoveIsland?’

When will there be a #loveisland were there is more diversity? and no I am not talking about just different ethnicity's. I would love it if a popular dating show mixed things up and allowed gay couples as well as straight after all this is 2018.
