Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

How do you make the Love Island villa accessible?


Listen Later

Love Island is in full swing and this year it featured its first ever physically disabled contestant. Hugo Hammond, who has just been dumped, is a 24-year-old PE teacher who was born with a club foot.

The show’s producers have previously said the villa can’t be adapted for disabled contestants due the cost of insurance and "budget constraints" - and with Hugo’s disability they didn’t have to change anything.
But we, at BBC Ouch, were wondering – could the Love Island villa be made accessible? And if so, how much would it cost?
BBC entertainment reporter Alex Taylor, Kamran Mallick, the CEO of Disability Rights UK and access consultant Natasha Davies all get grafting to see if accessibility and Love Island can couple up – or will it lead to someone getting pied?
Presented and produced by Keiligh Baker.
