Ah you’re right it has! That’s a shame!

Thats right. I believe under EU rules, streaming content had to be available across all of the EU but obviously we are no longer subject to those rules.

So I’m going on holiday and heartbroken I’m going to miss love island just as it might be getting good! Does anyone have any tips on how/where I could watch it while abroad?

My suggestion would be a VPN and then connect to the internet via the UK. They are a good idea for travel anyway particularly if you are going to be using public WIFI.
 
Regarding slut shaming and Ekin-Su (Tasha too), I realise it's 2022 and women can express their sexuality, but for me, a little class would not go amiss. ES has not shagged anyone though, and she may just be flirting with confidence, nothing wrong with that, but I reckon it is putting some of the men off and they are unlikely to see her as serious relationship material. I do understand why she is so desperate to meet as many men as possible, though. I was single when I was 28, I didn't want to stay that way, I wanted to get married and have children. I dated a few men, many of whom were a total disappointment, and I gave up. 2 weeks later I met my husband through work, (I was 33 by then), we married when I was 35, and we had our children by the time I was 39. When I look at Ekin Su, I am reminded of my fear of the clock ticking (although she may not want the same things I did). I took too many risks, dated the wrong men and felt that "the one" just didn't exist for me.
I would advise ES to calm down, just a little, focus on qualities that have nothing to do with looks, she may be surprised what chemistry there can be with someone who is not just a pretty duck boy who likes the gym or plays rugby. ES needs a man, not a total player, and I get the impression that ES is quite intelligent. She needs someone intelligent too. The jury is out as to whether anyone fits that bill, and if they did, I doubt they would be in the villa! Maybe she will thrive in casa amore.
 
I thought Paige was going to be Jay's main interest. Maybe she is genuinely too sound for these clout hungry types and that's why she's being overlooked. Jay is a calculated game player, but it's nice to have someone more intelligent on the screen. He had me fooled by his charms until my boyfriend said he was a sleaze, which I agreed with by the end of the dates. He used the dates strategically to weigh up the dynamics in the group, so maybe he still will be interested in Paige.

Hoping Paige & Dami become a couple (The Welsh & the Irish are the best ;)).

Everyone has a back story, I have no clue what ES’s is but I just want to comment that ES is an actress putting on a performance, I have noted the odd bits of vulnerability which I found genuine. We’re yet to find out if she has any intention of shagging anyone, my opinion is that would only be if she found a true connection. Admittedly I’m biased her and Davide are making the show for me, I have a feeling ES will turn out to be a highly successful after the show contestant.

Completely agree with this. Maybe the full on flirting and sexuality is acting, but the more vulnerable side is the real her.
 
The producers need to learn that they need to have “older” islanders because they always deliver with nothing to lose. These 19 early 20y old are boring and want to appear a certain way for the deals after the show! I want to see 25+ who aren’t afraid of what they want like it’s all or nothing for them

Almost agree😀. They’ve struck gold with Ekin Su and to a degree Davide, though I expect he’s not fully aware of the character some of us are loving,.. but .. to counter we now have Jay and his “emotional intelligence” .. har, transparent as a window pane and not as trustworthy, oh I get what he’s doing but it’s all been done before, and better.

He's growing on me too, don't think he and ES are right for each other though.

No they’re not but they must both be kept in the show at all costs, have a feeling Davide’s not being the contestant they thought he would be, bet they’re chuffed with this unexpected Brucie Bonus😀

In years gone by, if I was abroad I found that I could still watch it on the ITV app. I think I had ITV plus.

I was in Italy last week and the Itv hub will not work on wifi abroad (think it’s a EU/Brexit thing 🙄) so I watched some on my data (but again check data packages as it’s also no longer included in your contract - again Brexit) and I found some on YouTube pretty much straight after they aired.

Davide is good tv. He’s providing a lot of comedy unintentionally. I think this will buy him another few weeks. They always manipulate exits based on who they want to keep.

Right now I think Ikenna is in danger or maybe Luca pending on when his next meltdown comes.

I hope you’re right. I don’t like Luca’s vibe. He is a creep to Gemma and he’s a dick to the guys. I always like a bromance and I feel he’s killing that this series.

Ikenna is a bit too relaxed.
