Faye Winter Should Win A BAFTA For Carrying Love Island

We love the villa's resident drama queen.

FAYE WINTER

Last night, on Love Island - read that like it was said in narrator Iain Sterling's voice - Brad left the villa, Toby and Chloe{ =nofollow}had an argument and new bombshell AJ strutted in. For once, after a lacklustre couple of weeks, there was drama.

But nobody was creating more drama than Faye. Technically, she should not have been the main character of the episode. And yet she was.

The casting for the girls this year has been exceptional - Kaz and Liberty are standout favourites - but, it has to be said, nobody is quite as funny as Faye. Her dedication to theatrics and being the centre of attention at all times, on a show like Love Island, is not only admirable but completely entertaining. And it should win her a BAFTA.

For example, last night she decided to get pissy because Lucinda decided to stay in the villa instead of Brad. What really irked Faye - apparently - is Brad saying Lucinda should stay because of the opportunities. (Ahem, inevitable PrettyLittleThing deal.) And, while it shouldn't be addressed on Love Island that everyone is in it for the fame and teeth whitening deals (it ruins the fun, OK), it was actually a very selfless thing of Brad to do. Also, they had only been together a week, so as Lucinda said, it might have been a bit silly if she left with him.

Faye did not think so, she went wild - tutting, holding her head in her hands - saying, 'You don't come in here for opportunities! You come in here to find someone you love!' This is even though Faye - a lettings agent - definitely has her eyes on being whisked off to LA to become a part of Selling Sunset. Or at least an Olivia Attwood-style ITVBe spinoff.

But the best moment was when she whipped out a nailfile before the new bombshell was about to walk in, acting as if she was unbothered, when she was completely bothered. Faye is clever. It was a calculated move which she must have known would trigger a thousand memes, because it was really fucking funny. Almost as funny as when she admitted her 'lips looked like an 80-year-old man's ballsack' when she once had her lip fillers removed.

But we shouldn't be surprised Faye = the queen of one-liners - i{ =nofollow}s becoming everyone's favourite. It was clear as day she was going to be good television from the moment she said she wanted a man to 'rip her a new arsehole' and then gasped - 'not like that!' - in her introductory VT. Though she might argue that she is genuinely in the villa to find love - who knows whether she'll find it with current partner on the show, Teddy - it's undeniable she's going to be offered a lot of TV and media opportunities after the show And we hope she takes them.
