Love Island can teach us about racism and interracial relationships
When Whitney Adebayo, the 27-year-old former Love Island contestant, posted a cryptic message on TikTok this weekend, it set the entire internet buzzing. To go with footage of herself in a bright pink strapless bikini on a beach in Barbados, she added the caption: ''You look happier.' Thanks! I finally fell in love with my skin he used to call dirty.' People immediately speculated that the former wig entrepreneur, who is of Nigerian descent, was referring to her now ex, Lochan Nowacki, whom she met during the tenth series of Love Island in 2023, and from whom she separated in April. The 27-year-old, who before finding fame on the reality TV dating show was an account manager at a communications company, has denied ever making a racial slur, and has found the accusation particularly upsetting given his own multicultural heritage: his mother is Indian and his father is Scottish, Polish and English. He has since taken to TikTok himself, to say how 'insulted' he was by the allegation of racism. A very public game of 'he said, she said' between two attractive young people has quickly become very ugly indeed. When I was growing up, I was surrounded by interracial couples, who were in what we called mixed or blended relationships. These days, romantic set-ups between people of different races are known as a "swirl". And being part of a swirl couple – which is typically, but not exclusively, between a Black person and a white person – is no guarantee of guarding against racism. It seems everyday racism, of the kind experienced in the world at large, can also come home with you. I've been in swirl relationships myself, but I've never suffered overt racism from a partner. And yet I have been subjected to comments that were questionable. One ex once told me, grinning, how his friends had told him he 'must be good in bed' to be with me. I told him that wasn't funny, and that it played into a stereotype that Black women are hypersexual, which can be detrimental: how, when we are victims of sexual violence, we are less likely to be taken seriously. My girlfriends have stories to tell, too. One friend told me about how when she split with her son's father, he'd tell her that his new girlfriends often felt sexually threatened by the fact he had previously been with a Black woman. They would often ask stupid questions, like: 'Did she twerk for you?' Another friend told me how, when she was having problems at work with a client she believed to be racist, she told her white partner about it and looked to him for support – but all he offered was a generic response: 'Not everything is about race.' 'But,' she added wryly, 'he was the one who used to love watching porn where white women dominated Black women. So, yeah, everything is about race.' She was so disgusted by his response that she now refuses to date interracially. It's not just Black women that have to deal with racial stereotypes around their sexuality. Many Black men have told me they've been referred to as 'mandingo' by white girlfriends. Never far behind is a belief that you're somehow less intelligent, more prone to violence, and generally irresponsible. One guy I know in a swirl couple pays the mortgage and the bills, and yet his name isn't on anything; his wife says she likes to 'sign for him'. I only hope they never divorce because… yikes! Another Black friend told me every time he argued with his white ex, she would imitate him – 'and the impression she'd do sounded rather too 'primate-like' for him to be comfortable'. Increasingly fed up, he told her to just say what she really meant, and so she did. She called him the N-word.

Tesco's birthday cake sandwich launch divides shoppers
The unusual creation is made up of two slices of birthday cake flavoured bread, a vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam filling and is finished off with birthday cake-style sprinkles Tesco has just launched a bizarre new addition to its meal deal selection, sparking fierce debate amongst customers: the Birthday Cake Sandwich. Hitting shelves today, the limited-time offering boasts the taste of traditional Victoria Sponge, complete with festive cake sprinkles tucked inside. Tesco confirmed to The Sun that the peculiar sarnie will be stocked for merely four weeks across 1,000 branches nationwide and online. Retailing at £3 individually, the sandwich can alternatively be snagged as part of Tesco's meal deal, setting back non-Clubcard members £4 or Clubcard holders £3.60. Following its debut, the Birthday Cake Sandwich has already taken social media by storm, reports the Express. Certain customers have applauded the sugary innovation, with one declaring: "I work for Tesco and had it for lunch it's b***** amazing." Another chimed in: "It's sooo good." Further shoppers expressed they were eager to sample it and would be dashing to Tesco. However, not all punters are sold on the concept. One sceptical customer penned: "Absolutely is a is cake no need to mix. Just wrong." Additional critics branded it "disgusting" and simply stated "aww hell nah". Tesco's newest invention follows closely behind M&S's Strawberries & Creme sandwich, which drew inspiration from Japanese sandos and became a hot topic during Wimbledon. The premium £2.80 sandwich showcases strawberries and whipped cream cheese nestled between slices of sweet bread. While M&S has a long-standing reputation for sandwich innovation, Tesco has been hot on its heels with unique offerings in recent years. Last year, it introduced a limited-edition ham, egg and chips sandwich inspired by traditional greasy spoon cafés, which was a hit with customers looking for something out of the ordinary. It remains to be seen whether Tesco's birthday cake-inspired creation will become a cult favourite - but it's certainly sparked conversation.

Love Island 2025 winners crowned
The first American bombshell on the UK reality TV series and the professional dancer beat Shakira Khan, 22, from Burnley, and footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, who came second. Electrical engineer Jamie Rhodes, 26, came third with commercial banking executive Yasmin Pettet, 24, while Angel Swift, a 26-year-old aesthetics practitioner who entered the villa as a bombshell, came in fourth place with site engineer Ty Isherwood, 23. A post shared by Love Island (@loveisland) Host Maya Jama revealed the winning couple for season 12 of the reality dating show during Monday night's live final. After their names were called, Toni embraced Cach before she thanked the British public for voting for them. Prior to the reveal Toni confirmed that Cach told her he loved her the night before – and that she had said it back. Along with the 2025 title, the couple also took home a £50,000 cash prize. Earlier in the episode the Love Island couples exchanged emotional words to one another. Toni, who was visibly emotional when making her speech, told Cach: 'I don't think I tell you enough, but the way you treat me has made this whole wacky ass experience worth it. 'I think everyone has seen how happy you've made me, and I feel like a different person. I'm just really thankful to be here with you. 'I don't think anyone's ever treated me as good as you do so thank you. You make me feel like a queen.' A post shared by Love Island (@loveisland) Cach replied: 'I'm proud of you. You're gonna make me cry. You're so unapologetically yourself. It makes it so easy for you to operate the way I operate. 'I feel like our journey has been a roller coaster. I'm grateful for every moment. 'I don't think I could have done it with anybody else, to be honest with you, and I appreciate you.' Shakira told Harry that he was 'everything' she could want in a partner. She added: 'It's been an amazing last week and I'm excited for the future.' Harry replied and said: 'People say days are like weeks in here, but it really felt like I've known you a lifetime, and I'm so excited for the future, and I'll make so much time for you on the outside. 'My priorities have definitely shifted. You are my priority in life right now, so long may that continue.' Yasmin told Jamie that he became her 'sense of calm'. A post shared by Love Island (@loveisland) 'I don't tell you enough, but I'm so genuinely appreciative of you and everything you've done for me in here because my journey would be so, so shit without you,' she added. Jamie replied: 'Every day, I get a feeling of wanting to be around you more and more and knowing that this journey is coming to an end, that we won't be able to spend every second with each other, it's gonna make me really miss this place, but I know that on the outside world, we've got some great things coming.' Angel recalled having a 'spark' with Ty from the very beginning, adding that he is 'so thoughtful'. She said: 'I can't wait for outside life with you. I literally couldn't be happier.' Ty replied: 'I want to thank you and the Love Island gods for sending you in. 'I kind of didn't know where I was, and kind of lost myself a bit. I couldn't find my feet and I feel like you came at the perfect time.' Previous Love Island winners have included Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti (Season 8), Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer (Season 4), Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies (Season 3), who have since split up. Couples who, despite not winning, remain together include Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen (Season 2), Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury (Season 5) and Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack (Season 8).
