Stacey says

I’m as beautiful as any of the girls in the Love Island villa… even with my muffin-top and saggy boobies

Fabulous columnist Stacey on why she wants to see more like her on the hit ITV show

THE boys are in bed, the dog’s been out for her last loo trip and I’ve got a bowl of Doritos… cue Love Island.

I love it. Watching two people fall for one another, resisting all the temptations thrown their way and bucket loads of drama is my kind of heaven.

It’s such a shame because all it would take is a bit of diversity to show people that even if you don’t have a six-pack or flat tummy you can still find love - or at least a date. In fact I think it would be great for the show. Who doesn’t love a Bridget Jones, “just as you are” moment?

As the show goes on I realise you can be as perfectly groomed, toned and spray tanned as you like, but it doesn’t stop the insecurities that lie beneath.

From Dani blaming herself about her choices in men (“I always go for the same guys”) to Dr Alex  asking: “What’s wrong with me?” All of the islanders display what 99% of us feel is just inside of our own minds - but it affects everyone.

We all have our insecurities - no matter what shape or size we are. But, personally, I am struggling to relate to any of the girls in the villa because although my body is just as fabulous and I’m just as beautiful there’s no one in there that shares any of my beautiful features.

My saggy boobies, my stretch marks, my side handles, my acne. Are there any parents in the villa?

Adam was shocked to discover “pretty” girls like Kendall and co could have depth and feelings. Urgh. And, I quote: “I didn’t think someone who looks that good could be so down to earth”.

Imagine how many people judge someone’s character on the way they appear. I really feel sorry for society-labelled “pretty” people who have to prove their personalities because no one can believe they bothered to make one based on how they look.

I’m around the same age of most of the women in there and right now my chance of getting into the villa, should I ever need to, is a big, muffin topped, saggy breasted,  NO.

Nevertheless it is a fantasy world and one that I’ll be losing myself in again tonight at 9pm and every other night until it ends and I have to find something to relieve the withdrawal and fill the Love Island void.
