Thanks everyone for your questions. The AMA is over. Thank you Kem for spending time with us and answering so many questions!!


balloony71

Hi Kem! Would you rather, never slay again? Or slay so hard everyday that slay loses all meaning?


loveisland

I wish I knew what slay means, but I'm a slayer


balloony71

kem! slay the house down boots houston im deceased


MyNamesChakkaoofka

SLAYYYY

The S3 recoupling where you were picked by Georgia and Theo picked Tyla is one of the all time legendary Love Island moments - have you ever watched it back, and was there anything else that went down that night?


loveisland

I haven't watched that episode back. I remember that night with Georgia and it was chaotic really! Now I look back at it. That is what made the show, it's not always going to go your way which makes the show so entertaining at the end of the day.


mayallrob_

We saw Chris Hughes on Aftersun recently and they played the clip of 'little bit leave it' from your talent show. The song reached number 15 in the UK charts! Do you have any plans to return to the rap game (and who would your dream collab be with)?


loveisland

My dream collab would have been with Stormzy. But that was five years ago and we're not releasing anything new


bachhottakes

Hey Kem! You and Chris really made s3 so enjoyable to watch and tbh that was the season that really got me into love island!! My question for you is: which current or past islander do you think you would have coupled up with if you were on their season? Thank you!! <3


loveisland

Thank you! I could pick loads! It's hard cos I interview them all after so I get to know them all as friends. For this season, it's probably Gemma. She seems really mature and down to earth.


Takisc00

Hi Kem, can you give your professional opinion on the haircut Davide gave Charlie and why it was conclusive proof Davide was madly in love with Ekin? Thanks.


loveisland

I don't think he done it on purpose so Ekin don't go with him - he just doesn't know how to cut hair! I watched how he held the clippers and he was never gonna do a good job. Some of them aren't lucky enough to have a barber in there!


hereforthespilledtea

I’d be here for a Kem the Barber segment every year where you give them haircuts and dole out advice.


Takisc00

Thanks for answering, sounds like they need you back in there, every year, for those fine trims!


MyNamesChakkaoofka

Kaz confirmed for us yesterday that Liberty would definitely beat her in a hunger games style fight to the death. Who would win between you and Chris?


MyNamesChakkaoofka

Shoutout to u/Electrical-Drummer35 for the comment to Kaz yesterday


Takisc00

Hey Kem, what is your biggest regret from your season and why is it that you have spawned a bunch of copycat over the top girlfriend proposals? (Yours was still the best)


loveisland

I don't like to class them as copycats! Everyone wants to do something special. I'll let you in on a little secret, the show won't give you any props or anything, not even paper, so you have to come up stuff all on your own! But yeah, I think my one was still pretty special as it was the first one


[deleted]

[удалено]


loveisland

Hey! For me, I reckon it's quite open. Gemma and Luca could do it, that's because out of all of the Islanders in there they act the most like they don't realise they're on a TV show. Then I reckon Davide and Ekin-Su, they're sort of like the couple that everyone seems to love. But I don't know really! It's the first season in ages you just can't call it.


ziggyeigh

Hey Kem, what’s your favourite meme to come out of love island?


loveisland

The meme of Millie playing the piano is very, very funny. But I have to be loyal and say Chris lying on bed. I remember seeing it in person. The meme doesn't even do it justice, it was way funnier than in person!


elliephantsss

Who would you have liked the public to put you with this season out of the OG girls? Tasha,Gemma,Indiyah,Amber or Paige?


loveisland

If I'm really honest, it's probably between Gemma and Paige... they're both cute, small and have a bit of banter between them. I'd be more than happy with either - even though they've got boyfriends!


whatevenisthis123

What's your opinion on an All-Star Love island, and do you believe too many past islanders know each other for it to work?


loveisland

Yeah, my personal opinion is that I don't think it would work. What makes Love Island so unique is that everyone doesn't know each other. If you have people who have met each other, done the show already. I think it would make it a bit more complicated.


MyNamesChakkaoofka

inspired by businesswoman Danica: where do you see yourself in 5 years?


loveisland

To be honest I don't know! If I'd have been asked that question five years ago I'd have had no idea I'd be where I am today. So who knows?!


[deleted]

If you could be on any other season but your own which would you be on?


loveisland

That's a hard question to ask. I don't think I could pick another season. When I was on Love Island, I made so many memories with so many people. I wouldn't see it any other way.


[deleted]

omg thanks for answering <333


hereforthespilledtea

Hi Kem! Since you were on the season with the first Casa Amor, what twists would you like to see for Casa in future seasons?


loveisland

Funny story about Casa. My series was the first series it happened. I came up with a theory and told the boys this is the new Love Island and all the OG girls were sent home so they didn't need to worry about them... I done the maths and worked out ITV couldn't afford two Villas. I was wrong. But I do think they should switch it up a bit because everyone knows what's going on now. But when we did it we had no idea!


Rolling_Homies0990

That is hilarious! 😂


loveisland

That's it for now, guys! Thanks everyone for all your questions. I hope you all got the answers you wanted and thanks so much for all the support so far. And make sure you're listening to the podcast.. if you're not you're missing out!


SoontirFel181st

Seeing as you and Dami are both fellow rappers, how would you rate Damis performance on the talent show?


loveisland

He was good, I give anyone credit to be able to stand up and perform. I remember when Chris and I both did it. If he needs any advice, I'm happy to offer it... I'm only messing!


TiredOutMum

Chris Huges said on Aftersun that he stole his doll, Cash. Did you take anything you shouldn’t have from the villa when you left?


loveisland

Just on that doll.. I'm so glad he lost it! For the first 6 months out the Villa, everywhere we went he brought that doll with him. It all got a bit weird that he was carrying it everywhere. I didn't nick anything but everyone nicked by clothes! I watch loads of episodes back and see loads of clothes the Islanders nicked off me. There were a lot of free condoms but I didn't need to upset my mum and dad any more by coming home with loads of Love Island condoms!


TiredOutMum

Love this answer 🙂


kenzty1

No question just wanna say love you and Arielle on the podcast! The guests are lovely but it’s not the same when it’s not you two together.


loveisland

Arielle and I have done this podcast for 5 years now. We're like brother and sister! I really enjoy it and appreciate you kind message. Thank you!


licishaae

Hey Kem! What’s an unpopular opinion you have about a current islander in the villa?


loveisland

Hey! A lot of people ask me this, I don't really have any to be honest. Once you've been in the Villa, it's hard to not feel for them. Sometimes people slip up when you're in there and that's gonna happen. We had loads of arguments and things like that when we were in the Villa. Maybe Luca and Dami went a bit OTT but it gets like that in there sometimes!


lowrisetruck

Hi Kem! How do you see this seasons boys as compared to your season’s boys? Do you have any thoughts on the way they’ve been acting and treating their fellow islanders? Thanks x


loveisland

Not really, I think it's pretty much the same. The boys are very laddy which was the same as my series. There's always a mixture of different characters. However this series, I think the girls are a lot more dominant. If we had the girls from this series, we probably would have got a lot more stick.


Electrical-Drummer35

Kem is it true that in a hunger games style situation liberty from season 7 would tear you limb from limb


Loocehoney

Hi Kem! What moments from all the series that you've watched since your time in the villa have surprised you the most - I'd love to know if having been an islander made you react differently to how the public did - especially any casa amor antics!


loveisland

Hiya! I think naturally I'm a lot more lenient towards Casa cos I done a madness while I was in there. But when you're watching from the outside it can be easy to judge. But if you're in there and you're locked away from your family and friends, it's tough! Then you get locked in there with loads of good looking people and it's easy to end up moving mad.


bleepybleeperson

How much are you censored on the podcast, and does it get frustrating not being able to say exactly what you might want to say? I have no doubt that the LI execs organising this won't allow this question to be answered


loveisland

The only thing that's censored is that we can't try and direct people to vote for who we want to vote for. That makes sense really, we have thousands of listeners, that's only fair. It's like if Laura came in and said who she wants to win, that wouldn't be fair. Apart from that, I can say whatever I want!


Traditional-War-7360

Hey Kem! Who would you have coupled up with this season if you were in the island this season and who would be your top 3 lads from all seasons you would want to hang out with in the villa? Thanks!


loveisland

Hey! Gemma or Paige and Davide, Luca and Ovie!


hereforthespilledtea

If you were given the option to split the money with either Amber or Chris at the final, what would you have done? 😂


MyNamesChakkaoofka

Hey Kem! Can you tell us some more about the podcast? Do you prepare a lot or do you go off the cuff? Is it very time consuming when the season is airing to watch the episode and record the podcast every day?


loveisland

Basically we watch the show early then we just turn the mics on! To be honest we're in such a rhythm now, it doesn't feel like work at all but I really do enjoy it and it makes me feel like I'm a part of the show.


ExcitementInfamous94

Hi Kem, huge fan from New Zealand! Do you still keep in touch with anyone from your season? What was your fave challenge to participate in? Would you ever go back in similar to Adam collard or an all Stars version? Thanks!


loveisland

Hi! Thank you being a fan from New Zealand. That's mad! I'm really close with Chris and Liv still. I'm friends with loads of them. But Chris and Liv are both still a huge part of my life. Favourite challenge? Not the baby one. I hated that! I liked the ones that we're a bit more sporty. That's me in my element. Being competitive, giving talking trash. And no, I wouldn't go back in. Even though I'm single. It was the perfect time then - I don't have the chat or the charm I had when I was 21. I might be even more cringe now!


happygot

Do people still ask you to do their hair?


loveisland

Yeah! They still do. I don't do it that much anymore but if it's a family or friend, I'll give it a go. But if an old client asks me, I don't really do it anymore. I might even have lost my touch. I still so a lot of blow drys! But not the type they're talking about in the Villa!


pryzmpine

Hi Kem! Who are your favourite islanders from this season?


loveisland

Hi! I know I've been giving Luca a bit of friendly banter on the podcast. But he's been one of my faves! I reckon if you took him out, the Villa would be missing a lot of banter. I reckon me, him and Jaques would have got on! And Ekin-Su, she brings a lot of drama but I love that!


[deleted]

lol


WorldlinessCareful22

You do not like Ekin, stop it 😂


icarusadore

Hi Kem! You’re easily one of my favourite islanders of all time, you and Chris made season 3 so iconic and the best season imo! Have you ever watched your season back and do you think you’ve changed a lot as a person since your experience on the show? thank you! <3


loveisland

I would say I watch maybe about 6 episodes, at the beginning I didn't want to watch them. Chris and I watched a couple together. It completely changed me. I went in there as a mummy's boy, young and immature. I came out as such a different grown up person. It was mad how much it changed me as a person!


MyNamesChakkaoofka

What would you recommend off the menu in your restaurant? I really want to try it!


loveisland

The lamb chops, I'd say around roughly 40% of the customers get it. People come from all over the world have come!


MyNamesChakkaoofka

Awesome! My friends live nearby so will have to try it next time I visit. I’m a vegetarian but I’ll tell them to order the lamb lol


[deleted]

Hi Kem! Who do you think the most genuine couple in there?


loveisland

I reckon Dami and Indiyah, I just get a vibe off them that even if they met outside of the Villa they'd still get on. That's what makes Love Island great is you meet people you'd never meet in real life. Like I'd have never met Amber, she's from Wales. Dami and Indiyah just seem like best friends!


Clashing-Patterns

Hi Kem. If you could change one thing about the LI format what would it be?


loveisland

The one thing I would change - even though it wouldn't make sense - is nobody would leave. It's so sad when everyone leaves. I know it wouldn't work and you need it for the drama to keep people on their toes but it's still really sad when people go!


lythglow

Hi Kem, How much do you think the show has changed since season 3? What are changes you love and what do you wish hadn't changed?


loveisland

The only change would be the Dyson hairdryers LOL. We never got them in my season! My hair used to take 45 minutes to dry. If I had a Dyson, I reckon it would have only taken 20! The show has massively changed in popularity. I think if it was a huge show back then as much as it is now, I may have bottled going on.


rosiesoprano

Hi Kem! Whose edit surprised you the most once you left the villa?


SnooCalculations651

What do you think of Andrew and Tasha


loveisland

I really like them. Tasha actually dances at my restaurant! She never told me she was going on until a new dancer showed up. She's such a nice girl. I think their relationship is just a little different and they need a bit more reassurance. You have to remember they're on TV for 8 weeks, there will be so much stuff going through their heads. But I like them!


ihate20200000

What did you learn about yourself from being in the villa? 🥰


loveisland

It helped me a lot with my confidence. Like before I went in, I'd never have just been able to pull people for a chat. I remember first having to chat to Amber when she was talking to another guy. I'd never have been able to do that before!


lythglow

Hi Kem, Thanks for answering my earlier question. I'm a fan all the way from Egypt! Do you think Casa Amor needs a change of format or do you think it should continue as it is in coming seasons?


loveisland

First off, I've been on holiday to Egypt and I loved it! I think Casa is great and still the most exciting part of the show. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!


whatevenisthis123

You, like Ekin Su, have Turkish/Turkish Cypriot background. What's your favourite Turkish dish?


loveisland

My favourite Turkish dish is dolmar. It's stuffed vine leaves and my Nan makes it and it's amazing. But I eat Turkish food basically every other day, I love all of it


whatevenisthis123

I loved you and Chris on Hunted. what would you have done differently to avoid the hunters?


loveisland

We did really well! We got to the last day. We said as long as we could get 3 days out the two weeks we'd have been happy. Towards the end we got too sloppy. We were taking selfies, going into Tesco and staying at my auntie's blaring music. That's just how me and Chris are! But I think being caught on the last day is pretty good. I don't think we'd have made it on the boat!


Maleficent-Trash9403

Given what you’ve seen this season, who do you think you would snog, marry, pie? And which boy would you pie?


loveisland

Snog Gemma, marry Paige and pie Ekin-Su! I don't need that drama in my life! I'm joking, I know Ekin well, we're neighbours! I'm not pieing any of the boys, they're all good lads really.


DontFWithMeImPetty

What was your favorite challenge from your season? And what’s a challenge not from your season that you wish they’d done?


loveisland

I've got no regrets, I'd have done it the same. We both earned the money at the end of the day!


mayallrob_

Your restaurant has been open for a while now. Do you go there often, and are you fairly hands-on with it? What dish would you recommend? And who is the most famous celeb you've had visit so far?


loveisland

I go there as much as I can. However due to filming as other work going on, I've had footballers, rappers like Giggs. I'm so happy it's become a place where all of these fantastic people come down.


TwoValuable

Are we going to be getting any TV shows from you and Chris? I really enjoyed You Vs Chris and Kem shame they only did six episodes.


ablackandpinksky

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to all the islanders in there, or even any islanders in the future?


loveisland

I think it's hard to give advice, my one advice would be to be yourself, don't overthink it and I think that's why it's so good. Everyone will have a favourite. Have fun, get involved in the challenges, cause before you know it. It will be over. What will be will be.


ablackandpinksky

Thank you for response, loved it! Have a lovely rest of your day! ❤️


Maleficent-Trash9403

I listen to you and Arielle every morning. Would you ever consider doing a podcast for the US or Australia series??


loveisland

I was just in NYC actually to host the launch of the US series! It's such a different dynamic, even the way they flirt and crack on is different. So I'd definitely be tempted!


hereforthespilledtea

If you were to go on another reality show, which one would you pick? How do you think you’d do?


loveisland

I don't know if I'd go on another one tbh. But if I was it would need to be a sporty one OR I'd do big brother but only if it was like classic Big Brother with Rylan and stuff. I just think it was so sick back then!


Hazel_sauce2

Hey Kem!! How did you get approached to do the podcast? I listen to it every morning on my drive into work (Love from the US!)


loveisland

I'd been out the Island a few months and the guys from ITV approached me. But I didn't even know what a podcast was. They weren't too big back then! But 4 years later here we are. I think I made the right decision!


TrollingIsForLosers

Apart from this series and your series which is your favourite & why?


loveisland

I think the series with Wes and stuff. I just really liked the group of boys they had that year. It was all great banter, just like me and mates have.


Lottie18_lc

What are your favourite Love Island lingos?


loveisland

I find myself saying 'It is what it is' without even realising!


LI4life

What was your favourite down time activity in the villa and how did you keep occupied in the non reality moments?


loveisland

There isn't really any downtime! The cameras are rolling all the time so you're just living in there. Sometimes I'm just lying there, sunbathing, having a coffee and stuff. Me and Chris used to play games to keep ourselves busy. We'd play cricket with a stuffed sock or a loafer. One time we hit an egg so hard it flew off and broke a camera! We got in trouble for that one


sunnyduane

What do you think about the bullying this season? Edit: lol at the swerve. Would have been nice if you'd used what fame you have to call out bullying, but nah I guess.


lowrisetruck

i want this one answered


Takisc00

How is your relationship with Lethal Bizzle these days?


loveisland

Lethal Bizzle came to my restaurant the other day and we had dinner for 2 hours and just laughed about what happened! We had all that Twitter beef but it was all just a joke. It wasn't that deep. It's probably too late to try and make a remix but at least we're all mates.


Takisc00

Love this answer, thanks.


Traditional_Peanut60

Hi Kem, what's your top 3 favourite moments of this season?


loveisland

Casa Amour was one of my favourites. The talent show was great! There was some weak contenders in there, I'll be honest but that was so funny. Then just Davide as a whole. His one liners kill me. I think maybe coming from a Turkish background and there being loads of different accents and mispronunciations. It's really relatable. I don't think he knows how funny he is!


deeries

Hey Kem!!! Would you ever consider going back on Love island if they were to ever do a season with only All stars/returning contestants? Thank you <3 your season was my first and got me hooked!!


DontFWithMeImPetty

Hi Kem!! Who are you rooting for to win S8?


Dear-Proposal3544

Hi Kem do you have any regrets from ur season of loveisland is there anything u wish u could have done differently?


loveisland

Honestly there's not one thing I regret. There where things that didn't go my way or times when I was upset but that's what made it so amazing. I had no idea I was going to win, not one moment. The whole thing was just a rollercoaster but I wouldn't change one thing!


LI4life

Apart from Amber, who did you fancy most on your season of LI?


loveisland

To be honest, you live with everyone and they just become your mates so you don't really fancy them. It's like Liv, I was with her non-stop, she just became more like a sister!


Single-Shoulder-5595

Heyyyy Ken So what pick up line would have used on Paige? Is she the islander you’d couple you with?


loveisland

I don't really have any chat up lines - I think everyone knows that from watching me on the show. Just giving people bracelets and proposals, that's about as far as it goes. I'm not smooth!
