Love Island has been accused, by fans, of not conducting contestant background checks. This year鈥檚 winter winner, Kai Fagan, drops in and reveals what the process is like and what life鈥檚 like when you leave the villa. Love Island say they execute extensive background checks in advance of Islanders entering the show.

Is online pranking going too far? There鈥檚 been lots of conversations about this following the TikTok prankster Mizzy鈥檚 run-ins with the law. De-Graft explains the timeline of events that led to his most recent arrest, and Ada gives her honest opinion.

And a TikTok filter to help you part your hair for braiding is going viral. As someone who struggles to braid her own hair, Ada is loving it and explains how it works.
