Read our privacy policy Women’s Aid has issued a statement in response to Love Island contestant Danny Bibby and his behaviour towards fellow contestant Lucinda Strafford, accusing him of “gaslighting” her. “I need to just nip it in the bud I think,” Danny said, to which Lucinda agreed: “You need to nip it in the bud.” The following day, Women’s Aid, the national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children, called out his behaviour as abusive and urged producers to take action. “Last night, we saw the development of Danny and Lucinda’s relationship and became increasingly concerned with his behaviour towards her on screen, including what looked like gaslighting, possessiveness, and manipulation,” it said. In 2019, contestant Joe Garrett was called out by Women’s Aid for his manipulative behaviour towards fellow contestant Lucie Donlan.
