Download The Love Island background checks ft. Buzzfeed’s Ada Enechi

De-Graft’s got some company and is joined by new podcasting friend Buzzfeed’s Seasoned Sessions producer and presenter, Ada Enechi, who’s here to add a little spice to this week’s episode!

Love Island has been accused, by fans, of not conducting contestant background checks. This year’s winter winner, Kai Fagan, drops in and reveals what the process is like and what life’s like when you leave the villa. Love Island say they execute extensive background checks in advance of Islanders entering the show.

Is online pranking going too far? There’s been lots of conversations about this following the TikTok prankster Mizzy’s run-ins with the law. De-Graft explains the timeline of events that led to his most recent arrest, and Ada gives her honest opinion.

And a TikTok filter to help you part your hair for braiding is going viral. As someone who struggles to braid her own hair, Ada is loving it and explains how it works.
