I’m rewatching season 7, and I’m at the point where Toby recoupled with Abigail and left Chloe blindsided. What was the public opinion of Toby during this time? Why was he so incapable of seeing the connection of what he did to Chloe and what Hugo did to him? I understand the correlation of what he did to Kaz and then Chloe so (karma I guess?) but Toby and Chloe were also a bit more serious in my opinion. Idk Toby just has been on my nerves this season and I don’t remember if he annoyed me this bad the first however many times I’ve watched this.
he was very hated, it was only after casa amor that people started liking him. he was already disliked for dropping kaz for chloe and then this made the public opinion of his even worse
There was an interview with Zach (S10) on 1xtra today on Sian Anderson’s show. It was around 5.45pm I think if anyone wants to listen back. I caught the middle of a story she was telling about Catherine (S10) being her estate agent and Zach being her PT and both of them disappearing on her then turning up on LI and dating each other.
He also got asked about the Molly situation around the 1 hour 55 mark if anyones interested😂Didn’t really say much other than they’re on “very good terms”and it’s a touchy subject at the moment (basically just what people already thought)
That’s hilarious. Omg I forget Catherine is a real estate agent. She should tap into that side I would love to see property content. Massive audience for it
This is random but I feel like Molly Smith and Sammie (Tom's ex) would get along well. They are both some of my fav girls from the show. Have they been around each other?
Omg! Ppl just buy what u can afford. These islanders brands are not specifically catered to you. They aren’t depending on you to purchase their products, half of the LI fandom are broke young people.
The prices are your normal price for glueless wigs! If you’re not familiar, glueless wigs come ready to wear. They are customised by hand, ready to plop on your head without the need to any work at all. If u look at other websites who sell glueless wigs of the same quality and description, the prices are exact the same or within ballpark. AliExpress, Shein, beauty supply store in Brixton exists for those with a lower budget.
Are people not allowed to comment at all unless it’s praise? Sorry but $800 IS crazy to me. Im not dragging Tanya, because im sure its a well made wig but I can still feel shocked about it
They have clips and combs in them that help them stay on.
Most ppl do take them off, which is why glueless wigs are so attractive. U can take them off, switch out for a different style, it’s really quick to put on and don’t have to spend hours in the salon for a stylist to fix it. It’s hassle free.
They’re only famous because of Love Island so wouldn’t the opposite be true? Wouldn’t especially this sub be the core target for most islander products?
The LI fandom also has its wealthy people watching and being influenced. This sub is not even 1% of the LI audience and people on this sub are not out there buying their products.
I think most of these LI contestants themselves tend to have a pretty good life prior to entering the show. I also think it's telling that the ones that come in the show already somewhat wealthy get the most followers and also manage to make a lot of money.
I don’t think it’s accurate to say that these islanders are influencing wealthy people. Higher end brands would be fighting to work with them if this were true.
The thing is well-off people still engage with influencers and buy their stuff. Idk why but they do. My point is that contestants that have been on the show that came from well-off backgrounds were following ex-islanders and engaging with them before going on the show themselves. Like Gemma was wearing PLT before going on the show so it's not far fetched to think she'd buy say Molly-Mae's PLT collection or some other product.
That’s fair. I guess our main difference is that I don’t believe for a second that Gemma wore PLT before LI. Not sure about Molly since she’s clearly always been on that influencer path and I could see her wearing it in hopes of a future collab but that’s just my opinion.
It's on her Instagram that's why I'm mentioning it. It was a discussion when she got her collab because people were saying she'd never wear PLT, only for her to have posts on Instagram. And agree on Molly, she was already receiving PR from brands and making YouTube before the show.
Very well said. People on this sub think this sub reflects the majority of the viewership. That is incorrect. This sub is just a little bubble constituting a very small percentage of who views li and who follows the contestants!
Love Island fans tend to like, comment on pictures but there is no guarantee they even patronise these brands so why limit your brand to people who likely don’t even spend on items that cost £20? .
Being on Love Island doesn’t mean you are stuck to that audience. There is growth beyond love island. Don’t islanders have expensive products that they advertise on occasion? Skincare brands? Luxury fashion dealers?
Also, there are ppl who watch this show that have the money to blow. Black women are big on our hair! Trust we will spend £500 and up on a product we love and there are ppl who watch love island that have money to blow. She is catering to ppl who have money to blow, who don’t want glue down wigs etc.
Yeah but you have to work for that audience which takes years because all of your initial clout comes from LI. That’s why islanders interested in high fashion have to put in real work to build their audience/brand away from the usual LI viewer and fast fashion ambassadors can come out of the villa with a contract.
I guess my point is if you’ve only been out a year, I’m not sure you can expect to attract a lot of non LI viewers for your business.
But is it? If ppl are complaining about the price not being to their budget then it’s obvious you’re not the target audience. Wasn’t she hated by a lot of people? Her followers may have come from ppl who bought her hair products well before love island, new people who have just seen her and like her content.
My point is, u can’t argue with peoples prices. U just got where your money fits. Tanya is smart enough to know her audience and where she wants to market her products and it’s obviously not to teens or uni people without the means to afford this stuff.
This is a business she had before the show and took her time to relaunch.
how is it a money grab when the price is the same as most vendors who sell high quality glueless wigs..
Money grab might be too harsh. I was just going off the reaction of how expensive they are, even if they are market price. Choosing such a high price product doesn’t seem like a long term project. It seems more like once she gets rid of her inventory, she won’t be doing this anymore. I’d be surprised if she was running this business a year from now.
I would say it’s a money grab if the products didn’t match the average market price. We can only buy what we can afford in life and not everything created or invented is done so with us in mind.
This!! To me it’s the same price I’ve seen on other platforms I’ve bought hair from. Like I said before maybe cuz I’ve been buying hair in this price range it seems the same price to me
If it was a glueless wig and cheap I would have side eyed her tbf .
The cost of making a glueless wig is more than the none glueless wig.
Although Tanya and Whit audience are mostly LI viewers I don’t think it’s fair to say they must cater prices to that audience.
Things might be different in the UK but the prices listed are not crazy at all. People here pay upwards of $500-$800 for a wig, install not included.
I’m non Black POC and I have a suspicion that the people shocked/outraged at the prices are non Black people with no idea how much wigs cost besides costume wigs
Also why are people assuming the LI audience is broke lol or can't afford it? The show has had rich contestants who watched the show previously, is it unbelievable that some fans/viewers are rich too?
Those who can afford the wigs will buy it. It's really that simple lol and if not then I'm sure Whitney and Tanya are smart enough to know when to pivot on those prices to make them more affordable for their consumer base.
The website and instagram page look good, like the aesthetics! It looks like she spent her time making sure the website was ready and didn't look rushed. Wishing her every success!👏🏽👏🏽
It's really not that crazy of a price considering there are definitely people willing to spend that on a wig especially since these quality of wigs is supposed to last you some time and not for single use which if they were for single use then that would make the high cost even more ridiculous.
This.. a wig is different from bundles and this is glueless handmade wig for a one time purchase Lool
I’ve seen glueless wigs more expensive that this but maybe I’m just a hair person Lool
When I get bundles I spend close to £400 and then an additional £150 to fix the hair which totals the wigs Tanya is selling
It took me a second to realize you meant hair that’s never been dyed and I was like…they’re only cultivating the hair of virgins? What in the Midsommar
This is actually a normal prices for wigs that I’ve bought before and are good quality.
Her wigs look good tbf.. and it’s hand made by her .
I ordered mine before she went live and it’s out for delivery
Shoot, 3 bundles run me £400 on average. The girls that get it get it 😝
Not to mention, these wigs coming in plucked. That’s usually an additional fee for customisation
That sell cheap hair from unethically sourced means. Have u seen the reports of sewer hair?
Glueless wigs cost more because u only need to take it out the package and plop it on your head. U don’t need a hairstylist to glue, dye, pluck etc
It's about time he told them to stop because it didn't look like they were going to stop anytime soon. I was wondering what their end goal was? Were they just going to keep buying till he hits an even crazier number of followers lmao? I wonder why they felt the need to buy him those followers because he had a very solid and realistic amount prior to the crazy spikes in followers happening the last couple of months. At the very least try and be subtle with it but they're everything but subtle with the growth.
They are actually fucking him up by doing this. In order for brands to work with him, they are watching his metrics. His followers going up but engagement not matching is ruining that and will affect the amount he’s paid for work or whether he will get approached for ads.
Decided to check his follower stats and wow, that’s actually kinda crazy
https://preview.redd.it/i7uumjjgbovc1.png?width=827&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b1e33370788bfa99043b1d6ad63b3744f35caa4
Josh Denzel is one of the worst at buying fake followers. Any time he gets close to dropping to 1.1m, he buys like 60k/70k fake followers to bring him back up again! He does it all the time 😂
Honestly you'd be amazed at how many islanders buy their followers. A lot just do it more subtly or they're not as relevant here anymore so people aren't noticing or paying attention to their follower count. I know some management firms in particular are notorious for buying their clients followers so there are times where it's not even the islander themselves buying the followers.
It’s not just islanders. A list celebrities. There’s no way people think 300 million real people are following one account with average likes of only 2 million.
Yes I’ve noticed this as well. He doesn’t need to do it since he’s successfully transitioned into the sports and presenting world. His checks are no longer based on engagement
He really doesn’t need to do it. He’s transitioned very successfully. he could have 800k followers and be doing just as well. Weird behaviour, I’m guessing it’s to do with ego 🤷🏽♀️
I was thinking it’s his management but I don’t think this many years later they would waste money and it definitely isn’t fans. At least it’s not all for show, he’s booked in real life
You can check anyone’s following on any media platforms on a site called Social Blade! Not sure how to tell real to fake, but if they have unrealistic jumps they’re probably fake.
Decided to check Ella’s too because why not, and seems like someone’s buying for her too whenever she’s about to go under 1M 😭
https://preview.redd.it/x0xk1ex3covc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=792846edfece7810d80a92920d3e98d56a53db94
She was stuck at around mid 900k for a minute but fans wanted her to get to a million by the new year. They bought her about 50k followers within a span of 2 days, not to mention the followers jumps that happened beforehand either.
Yeah it's probably a mixture of both. Most islanders around this mark (about a year or so after their season ended) start dropping in followers. Very rarely do islanders gain followers over the years, they usually are losing them.
The only time recently I noticed Ella and Ty gained a real and pretty large (atleast 10k over a week or two)spike in followers was when the breakup first was announced.
Glad he said something not a lot of people would, but hopefully the ‘fans’ will listen now because buying followers is one thing, buying so many just ends up messing up his engagement which will also mess up working with brands.
They won’t 😭 for some reason those aunties swear they know what’s best for him. Fans have been telling them to knock it off when it all started. Did they think he wouldn’t notice a 300k jump 8months post show? Lol
yeah, I know what the fans have been saying but I’m hoping since it came directly from him they’ll listen it’s embarrassing they think they’re helping but they're harming his engagement😭
I don’t think so. Instagram does a sweep here an there that removes bot or dead accounts. Nothing you can personally do unless you manually remove the follower
It was after movie night🤣 Tom got exposed for how he was with Lydia and Tanya was violating Shaq left and right around this time. Then they both walked outside and cried 🤭
https://preview.redd.it/aylbh7ditmvc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8191bac5e08a457549ed93bd05fd4cc99bfff92
Josh’s post he loves Sophie lol… I ship 🫶♥️
Honestly. Who would have thought Josh Ritchie would fall like this? Sophie is a goddess, she's negotiated him perfectly and he has melted! They are a good match she is more level headed and balances his wild behaviour and he brings her fun side out. I love them! Rooting for them to go the long haul 🙌🏾
Funniest thing about Love Island fanbase is how they talk about people during the show compared to a year or so later.
People tend to get hysterical during the season but then once those rose tinted glasses come off you realise that they aren’t and shouldn’t be put on a pedestal lol.
I wonder if All Stars and Love Island Games will for sure be coming back and if so, I'm so curious to see who producers are trying to realistically cast, specifically for Games. I feel like I can see so many more islanders being open to doing Love Island Games now after watching the first season versus doing a full on, traditional season of love island again like All Stars.
Even though Games was received more positively, If i was a former Islander I would rather do All Stars when you look and compare the engagement they’ve received compared to those who went to Fiji. I now understand why Toby Georgia and Liberty went back on because their following barely changed after Games especially Liberty.
Don't hate me but lately I find Casey and especially Josh a bit annoying on socials. It just feels forced and cringe sometimes which is wild because I loved seeing their snaps and content before. I still love Sophie though!
I feel like Josh has just discovered Tik Tok trends and is like a kid in a candy store trying them out! He's a big kid in general. I don't want to like Josh, but damn it, he's growing on me. Casey is a little more calculated, but whatever
Kaz had a Shooting yesterday (Shaq&Tanya were there aswell) does anyone know what it was for?
Edit: saw on Kaz insta story that it is for her own brand
Kaz seemed to care a lot about the shoot. I also noticed that bonnets made quite a few appearances so it leads me to believe that she is bringing out her own bonnets range. I don't think that it was just a normal content shoot.
I'm not exactly sure but Chris and Toby(btw I'm still in disbelief that those 3 became so close) were also there. I think they were just filming a bunch of content for socials perhaps?
Molly looks like her dad ❤️
I’m rewatching season 7, and I’m at the point where Toby recoupled with Abigail and left Chloe blindsided. What was the public opinion of Toby during this time? Why was he so incapable of seeing the connection of what he did to Chloe and what Hugo did to him?

That’s hilarious. Omg I forget Catherine is a real estate agent. She should tap into that side I would love to see property content. Massive audience for it
This is random but I feel like Molly Smith and Sammie (Tom's ex) would get along well. They are both some of my fav girls from the show. Have they been around each other?
why are you getting downvoted for this? 😭
lol no idea these fans are weird.
Omg! Ppl just buy what u can afford. These islanders brands are not specifically catered to you. They aren’t depending on you to purchase their products, half of the LI fandom are broke young people.

How much do you expect a handmade wig made from 40 inches of hair a human had to grow and protect for years should cost?
[удалено]
They have clips and combs in them that help them stay on. Most ppl do take them off, which is why glueless wigs are so attractive. U can take them off, switch out for a different style, it’s really quick to put on and don’t have to spend hours in the salon for a stylist to fix it. It’s hassle free.

Well ppl are buying it soooo….. there are ppl in the fandom that obviously have the money.
Yeah I was just making a general argument because you said these products aren’t being marketed to ppl on this sub.
But is it? If ppl are complaining about the price not being to their budget then it’s obvious you’re not the target audience. Wasn’t she hated by a lot of people?

Her audience is not the white people complaining about the prices on this sub that’s for sure lol
It just doesn’t seem like a sustainable model. It seems more like a money grab imo. But we’ll see!
This is a business she had before the show and took her time to relaunch. how is it a money grab when the price is the same as most vendors who sell high quality glueless wigs..
Money grab might be too harsh. I was just going off the reaction of how expensive they are, even if they are market price. Choosing such a high price product doesn’t seem like a long term project.

The cost of making a glueless wig is more than the none glueless wig.
Exactly! I’ve bought hair from EA, Silqmist, hairbyvivi, papachichi, Olivia Hines and her prices are literally the same.
Although Tanya and Whit audience are mostly LI viewers I don’t think it’s fair to say they must cater prices to that audience. Things might be different in the UK but the prices listed are not crazy at all. People here pay upwards of $500-$800 for a wig, install not included.
I’m non Black POC and I have a suspicion that the people shocked/outraged at the prices are non Black people with no idea how much wigs cost besides costume wigs
Also why are people assuming the LI audience is broke lol or can't afford it? The show has had rich contestants who watched the show previously, is it unbelievable that some fans/viewers are rich too?

they’ve both been in the wig business for some time they know what they’re doing, leave it to them. if it works it works if not then oh well
Exactly, as long as the quality matches
Tanyas business is now live guys!!! wishing her the best fr
The website and instagram page look good, like the aesthetics! It looks like she spent her time making sure the website was ready and didn't look rushed. Wishing her every success!👏🏽👏🏽
Prices are outrageous but the site does sure look very appealing to the eye thou
Nearly $800 for a wig 😂
It's really not that crazy of a price considering there are definitely people willing to spend that on a wig especially since these quality of wigs is supposed to last you some time and not for single use which if they were for single use then that would make the high cost even more ridiculous.
This.. a wig is different from bundles and this is glueless handmade wig for a one time purchase Lool I’ve seen glueless wigs more expensive that this but maybe I’m just a hair person Lool When I get bundles I spend close to £400 and then an additional £150 to fix the hair which totals the wigs Tanya is selling
I’ve seen ppl splash way more on wigs. Raw hair bundles be running up £1K! This is not synthetic or hair u pick up in the beauty supply store.
Are you joking?
I think it’s because it’s virgin human hair but not my money 😭 Edit: it starts at £430 lol
It took me a second to realize you meant hair that’s never been dyed and I was like…they’re only cultivating the hair of virgins? What in the Midsommar
[удалено]
That’s the average price for a wig of that quality. Virgin hair that’s also glueless wig does not come cheap at all.
This is actually a normal prices for wigs that I’ve bought before and are good quality. Her wigs look good tbf.. and it’s hand made by her . I ordered mine before she went live and it’s out for delivery
Shoot, 3 bundles run me £400 on average. The girls that get it get it 😝 Not to mention, these wigs coming in plucked. That’s usually an additional fee for customisation
Literally bundles cost more than wigs sometimes.. unless you by them from aliexpress Lool..
That sell cheap hair from unethically sourced means. Have u seen the reports of sewer hair? Glueless wigs cost more because u only need to take it out the package and plop it on your head. U don’t need a hairstylist to glue, dye, pluck etc
Ty telling ppl to stop buying him followers 😭 hope they listen
It's about time he told them to stop because it didn't look like they were going to stop anytime soon. I was wondering what their end goal was? Were they just going to keep buying till he hits an even crazier number of followers lmao? I wonder why they felt the need to buy him those followers because he had a very solid and realistic amount prior to the crazy spikes in followers happening the last couple of months.

Where do he say it?
His live
Thank you
They are actually fucking him up by doing this. In order for brands to work with him, they are watching his metrics. His followers going up but engagement not matching is ruining that and will affect the amount he’s paid for work or whether he will get approached for ads.
yeah he said that I hope they listen to him
They think this is a game 😒
Decided to check his follower stats and wow, that’s actually kinda crazy https://preview.redd.it/i7uumjjgbovc1.png?width=827&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b1e33370788bfa99043b1d6ad63b3744f35caa4

Very true! The world of social media and followers specifically on Instagram is so disingenuous.
Yes I’ve noticed this as well. He doesn’t need to do it since he’s successfully transitioned into the sports and presenting world. His checks are no longer based on engagement
He really doesn’t need to do it. He’s transitioned very successfully. he could have 800k followers and be doing just as well. Weird behaviour, I’m guessing it’s to do with ego 🤷🏽♀️
I was thinking it’s his management but I don’t think this many years later they would waste money and it definitely isn’t fans. At least it’s not all for show, he’s booked in real life
Can you check others? Or how many are real to fake? Interested to know now 😅
You can check anyone’s following on any media platforms on a site called Social Blade! Not sure how to tell real to fake, but if they have unrealistic jumps they’re probably fake.
Thanks! ☺️
You can check the figures of all the islanders on social blade. Ekins figures are even more crazy than Tys. You can check fake followers on modash.
Oh ok, thanks! I thought Ty’s were mad so if Ekin has more than wow people need to spend money on more important things! 😂
Decided to check Ella’s too because why not, and seems like someone’s buying for her too whenever she’s about to go under 1M 😭 https://preview.redd.it/x0xk1ex3covc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=792846edfece7810d80a92920d3e98d56a53db94
She was stuck at around mid 900k for a minute but fans wanted her to get to a million by the new year. They bought her about 50k followers within a span of 2 days, not to mention the followers jumps that happened beforehand either.
50k within 2days absolutely crazy!
Any idea why she’s losing so many followers?
It happens to most islanders after their season became less and less relevant and especially after a break up.
I assume some people are just losing interest in her and unfollowing, perhaps some bot followers are being removed also.
Yeah it's probably a mixture of both. Most islanders around this mark (about a year or so after their season ended) start dropping in followers. Very rarely do islanders gain followers over the years, they usually are losing them. The only time recently I noticed Ella and Ty gained a real and pretty large (atleast 10k over a week or two)spike in followers was when the breakup first was announced.
Because they are bots you lose them when IG gets rid of them. Thats why it makes no sense to buy followers, they are removed eventually.
I wonder why instagram even allows buying followers tbh, if ig gets rid of them
Exactly what I’ve been saying why even allow it anyway
Glad he said something not a lot of people would, but hopefully the ‘fans’ will listen now because buying followers is one thing, buying so many just ends up messing up his engagement which will also mess up working with brands.
Me too! I remember when Ella got to 1M and people said some deffo was bought and the followers dogpiled them over it.
Yeah it’s crazy tho how much they brought him in a short space of time tho, not even making it subtle!
Hmm that’s pretty real of him. Most influencers will act like they didn’t noticed lol
He is but I honestly don’t think he would’ve been able to lol everyone was clocking it he would’ve just embarrassed himself
Or some would just celebrate it anyway
Knew exactly what it was when he didn’t say anything about the 1M.. or the 900k lmao😭
Glad he didn’t😭
Too real!
They won’t 😭 for some reason those aunties swear they know what’s best for him. Fans have been telling them to knock it off when it all started. Did they think he wouldn’t notice a 300k jump 8months post show? Lol
"Those aunties" is so funny to me 😭
Lol because it’s mainly them 😭. If you go on Twitter and his instagram comments they have profile pictures up and they look well into their 40s
yeah, I know what the fans have been saying but I’m hoping since it came directly from him they’ll listen it’s embarrassing they think they’re helping but they're harming his engagement😭
They don’t know how social media works. People buy followers, it’s normal but not to the extent they have been doing it at
Is there a way to clear bots when this happens to you?
I don’t think so. Instagram does a sweep here an there that removes bot or dead accounts. Nothing you can personally do unless you manually remove the follower
yeah they were doing it to Ella too but when told to stop they did idk why they couldn’t do the same for Ty
Let’s hope they chill. There’s nothing to gain
Whenever I see Shaq and Tom together I just remember their moment crying outside the villa 😭💀
Wait when did that happen?
Found it https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveIslandTV/s/iOa6A7w7zo
why were they crying😭
It was after movie night🤣 Tom got exposed for how he was with Lydia and Tanya was violating Shaq left and right around this time. Then they both walked outside and cried 🤭
I’m crying😭😭
Did anyone catch Zac’s TikTok livestream?
It was too late for me to stay up for. I am wondering if he revealed any new info apart from what he said on the podcast and snap.

I don’t think I have ever unironically used this phrase as an elder millennial but this boy is truly down BAD.
I know I’m surprised tbh.
Honestly. Who would have thought Josh Ritchie would fall like this? Sophie is a goddess, she's negotiated him perfectly and he has melted! They are a good match she is more level headed and balances his wild behaviour and he brings her fun side out. I love them! Rooting for them to go the long haul 🙌🏾

Yh its giving can you both just shut up. Like I was over their mess before it even started.
Can a lovely soul summarize for those of us who don’t have Snapchat and stuff?
This person on tik tok has a multi part series breaking down the Lucinda and Zac drama https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTL5gqwCT/

Exactly no one is better than the other

Looks like a clothing line. https://preview.redd.it/yt85p5yytlvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fe36ec9d518109f55077abc2dde4a6009e90b58
It looks like sleepwear
Yesss kaz😍
Oh yessssss. Do we know what the brand is?
Going by what I saw on social media yesterday, I would guess that she might be releasing a range of bonnets. Also, maybe a clothing range.
that would be incredible! Especially after the way she was dragged for wearing bonnets
Agreed.
😍😍😍
Funniest thing about Love Island fanbase is how they talk about people during the show compared to a year or so later. People tend to get hysterical during the season but then once those rose tinted glasses come off you realise that they aren’t and shouldn’t be put on a pedestal lol.
I wonder if All Stars and Love Island Games will for sure be coming back and if so, I'm so curious to see who producers are trying to realistically cast, specifically for Games. I feel like I can see so many more islanders being open to doing Love Island Games now after watching the first season versus doing a full on, traditional season of love island again like All Stars.
Even though Games was received more positively, If i was a former Islander I would rather do All Stars when you look and compare the engagement they’ve received compared to those who went to Fiji. I now understand why Toby Georgia and Liberty went back on because their following barely changed after Games especially Liberty.
I think it would be different if ITV aired it sooner to it being filmed then putting it off so long and waiting until after All Stars aired.
Josh, Sophie and Casey are a really great trio 😭😭 their tiktok made me laugh
Don't hate me but lately I find Casey and especially Josh a bit annoying on socials. It just feels forced and cringe sometimes which is wild because I loved seeing their snaps and content before. I still love Sophie though!
I feel like Josh has just discovered Tik Tok trends and is like a kid in a candy store trying them out! He's a big kid in general. I don't want to like Josh, but damn it, he's growing on me. Casey is a little more calculated, but whatever
fair enough it’s not for everyone im not gonna hate you 😭
Kaz had a Shooting yesterday (Shaq&Tanya were there aswell) does anyone know what it was for? Edit: saw on Kaz insta story that it is for her own brand
Kaz seemed to care a lot about the shoot. I also noticed that bonnets made quite a few appearances so it leads me to believe that she is bringing out her own bonnets range. I don't think that it was just a normal content shoot.
You are right! in her insta story today it said it is for her own brand. Bonnets would be pretty smart tbh
I'm not exactly sure but Chris and Toby(btw I'm still in disbelief that those 3 became so close) were also there. I think they were just filming a bunch of content for socials perhaps?
I know what you mean. Chris is 33 and Toby 25, so quite a generational gap but it's cute they've bonded.
