Despite the nation being glued to their screens every night at 9pm for the past few weeks, Love Island has had viewers, celebrities and body positivity advocates alike voicing their disapproval at the toned, tanned and often unrealistic figures of the contestants who have been in the villa this summer.
As such, online retailer JD Williams has teamed up the mums of three previous Love Island contestants to reveal a more realistic and age inclusive Love Island look!
Corletta Somerville, age 63, the mum of season three’s Marcel, wears a JD Williams Magisculpt swimsuit £35 in turquoise with a £26 kaftan.
The mum of season two star Olivia Buckland, Sarah Allen aged 51, wears a JD Williams plait bandeau swimsuit £35.
Sue Davies, 51, the mum of season three’s Amber, wears a JD Williams strap detail Swimsuit £26.
A world away from the flawless, air-brushed Instagram-ready look we may be used to on Love Island, the mums show that they can look just as fabulous in swimwear as their children.
The petite size 8’s of the villa may not need much support in their bikini day-wear, but JD Williams swimwear comes with smart design features to help women feel confident, such as figure flattering ruched panelling, adjustable bra straps and bra under wiring. Swimsuits come in sizes 10 to 32 and fit busts from a 34C to a 46DD.
Suzi Burns from JD Williams says “As a brand we strive to offer women of varying ages, shapes and sizes great fashion choices. Love Island has had us all glued to our screens however the contestants selected do very little for representing a diverse range of ages and sizes so we thought it would be great to see real women rocking their own Love Island look.”
