    It's been a tearful final week in the villa, with the start of new relationships and the end of old ones.

    Week 7 2021 with Afua Adom - The Guarantee of More Extraordinary Love

    It's been a tumultuous (and a bit dull) few weeks in the villa. What with the downfall of Jiberty and the worst bombshell we've ever seen. So Harriet's invited Afua Adom to unpack everything that's been going on. The two also discuss their own ways they'd bring sexy to the island, and much like Toby, dish out their own relationship advice.

    Week 6 2021 with Victoria Sanusi - The One Where There's Sexual Attraction....

    Toxic femininity, do we need to flip the conversation?


    After “mad movies” really did stir the pot in the villa, Harriet and her guest Victoria Sanusi discuss Faye’s behaviour toward Teddy and how it may have created an unsafe space in the Love Island villa. 


    They also discuss a different side of Kaz that we have only just seen this week as things with herself, Tyler and Mathew got a tad complicated. Harriet and Vic do a -u-turn on Chloe and Toby. All in all, it really has been a hectic week in paradise, and here’s your weekly antics rundown.

    Week 3 2021 With Kate Cocker - Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

    It's a game of "should I stay or should I go?" with Lucinda and Brad having to choose between each other this week.  


    Harriet is joined by Presenter Coach and host of the Everyday Positivity podcast, Kate Cocker, to dissect the goings on in the Love Island villa, including the question - "hang on - doesn't sexual chemistry need to include both people fancying each other?" Plus - every year Love Island brings up a huge social issue - you might not be surprised to hear that this year Kate and Harriet think that's come from Danny.

    Week 2 2021 with Fi Wishart - Too Fake to Handle

    We've learnt a lot about our cast in the past week. We’ve learnt that apparently, Aaron doesn't like women with hairy arms, or a career! And poor Hugo's come under heavy fire for saying he doesn't like women who are fake... despite going after the girls who've had work done. Harriet is joined by co-host of the Love Bites podcast Fi Wishart, to unpack all this and more, including what that Chloe has been up to.

    Week 8 2019, with Sofie Hagen: "Boy! Finish yourself first, then find someone to build you up!"

    Comedian Sofie Hagen, joins Harriet Minter to review the final of Love Island 2019 in the ways only a feminist and a comedian can! (contains spoilers and a healthy amount of swearing)


    All hail Maura and her flutters, hoorah for Ovie and his love for Amber, and Anna WILL be held up as a feminist hero till one of the boys actually takes responsibility for his behaviour #itwasntme. Was friendship the real winner here? And what lessons have we learned?


    Plus we still can't help thinking that Ellie Bellie is the only one who really saw it all. 


    Sofie Hagen is a comedian, author of the brilliant "Happy Fat" and a podcaster. Her love for Love Islan knows no bounds. In this podcast episode hear about her new show at Edinburgh, to be toured round the UK in early autumn. @sofiehagen
