Read our privacy policy Former Love Island contestant Sherif Lanre has hit out at the ITV2 show for allowing Danny Bibby to remain after a social media post emerged of him using the N-word. While contestants are not usually informed what is being written about them by the public, ITV “raised their concerns” with Bibby about the since-deleted post. The 22-year-old was in the starting line-up of the 2019 series of Love Island, but was removed from the villa after just nine days for using the phrase “c*** punt” after accidentally kicking a female contestant in the crotch. “A white guy has been allowed to apologise from inside the villa for using the N-word and carry on filming, whereas I was removed for play fighting and doing something by accident.” He continued: “The N-word shouldn’t be used and this contestant should be removed from the house like I was, especially after the England football team were racially abused this week.
