Love Island cast will be given ‘inclusion training’ by GMB star before entering the villa, reveals ITV

thesun.co.uk:

THE new cast of Love Island will have inclusion training by Good Morning Britain star Sean Fletcher before entering the villa, ITV has revealed.

The newsman, 48, has stepped in to deliver sessions on how to better interact with others of differing abilities, backgrounds and genders.

ITV said ahead of the 2022 series of Love Island, which launches within days: "Ahead of this series, contributors on the show will be offered video training and guidance covering inclusive language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, behaviours and microaggressions. "The inclusion training, which Islanders are offered prior to entering the Villa, consists of conversations chaired by BCOMS (Black Collective of Media in Sport) founder Leon Mann MBE and including DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) consultant Hayley Bennett, disability specialist Shani Dhanda and broadcaster Sean Fletcher. "These discussions will tackle topics including inclusive language, behaviour, creating safe spaces and being a good ally." It comes as 2019 Islander Sherif Lane was booted from the villa after accidentally kicking fellow Islander Molly-Mae Hague in the groin and calling it a "c*** punch". .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-1czxmma{background-color:rgba(252,239,255,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
