Ranking The Men Of Love Island From The Worst Dressed To The Least Terrible
Love Island, for whatever reason, has gripped the nation. Not content with the frankly indecipherable exchanges of The Only Way Is Essex, ITV decided to waterboard us with more perma-tanned, barrel-scraped content on a nightly – nightly – basis. Only this time with more baby oil and terrifying Paris Hilton-esque nightvision romps.
As this season draws to an overdue close, and Caroline Flack makes her final goose step slo-mo boob-wobble to the fire pit, we ignore the Chris-Olivia hype for a competition much more important than the meagre £50,000 prize: who was the best (or the least terribly) dressed? Be warned, this victory is hollow.
12th Place: Craig Lawson
Since Camilla’s short-lived crush made little mention of his Samoan heritage, we can assume the tribal tattoos were a piss poor choice of Magaluf ’08 (and one that demands a T-shirt at all times).
11th Place: Marcel Somerville
Blazin’ Squad alumnus Marcel refused to meet anyone at the crossroads with this tiki-infused, part-swimwear, part-pyjama two-piece, more usually favoured by bigoted grandmas in Benidorm. Did we mention he was in Blazin’ Squad, though?
10th Place: Sam Gowland
Since Sam boasts the intellectual capacity of a prawn cracker, we’re surprised he could even read the too-tight slogan on his front let alone wear it.
Joint 9th Place: Kem Cetinay and Chris Hughes
Gentlemen, your girlfriend talking to another chap is not ‘muggy’. Dressing in the exact same outfit as your best mate, however, is.
8th Place: Alex Beattie
King of all the bland Alex Beattie enjoyed one sole remarkable moment – using a baseball cap to flatten his hair before straightening the fringe into an upwards flick. And what a right royal mess it is.
7th Place: Nathan Joseph
Skipped a few leg days, Nath? Spray-on denim was a mistake then, wasn’t it? (It always is.)
