What’s Love Island’s Miimi Ngulube said about diversity?

Some critique for Love Island has crept up online after the cast lineup was released in May. With Mimii just one of three people of colour on the 12-person lineup, fans are worried about the lack of diversity in the show.

However, when asked about her thoughts on the topic, Mimii didn’t seem as concerned.

"I feel like it's less of an issue now," she explained to Radio Times: "Just because the recent years I feel like they've very much improved. Obviously, I'm not too sure who's going in or anything like that, so I don't know if it's just going to be me or not. But I'm pretty sure it'll be fine."

"I don't feel any pressure or anything of that thought because the way I am will show, culturally anyway."
