Chuka Umunna reveals he's a huge fan of Love Island

Chuka Umunna has admitted he is 'totally addicted' to ITV 2's raunchy reality show Love Island

Labour MP Chuka Umunna has been slammed by critics on Twitter after professing his love for ITV's Love Island.

Umunna has admitted he is 'totally addicted' to the raunchy reality show and tunes in regularly with his family.

However, the Streatham MP's revelation has attracted ire on social media with some accusing him of pretending to enjoy Love Island because he is 'desperate to be liked'.

The ITV 2 show has gripped the nation since its third season aired weeks ago, with millions of Britons tuning in as couples compete for a £25,000 cash prize at a villa in Majorca.

Umunna is not the first Labour politician to wade into the Love Island debate.

Last week, le ader Jeremy Corbyn urged his supporters to vote for ex-Blazin Squad rapper Marcel to win the show.

Viewers were left shocked on Friday night as two new islanders broke up couples Kem and Amber and Johnny and Tyla during a tense showdown.

Reacting to the dramatic re-coupling, Umanna Tweeted: 'Completely addicted to #LoveIsland in the Umunna household. So much better than Big Brother!'

He also shared a picture of the sparkly Love Island logo on Instagram with the caption: 'We cannot get enough of @loveisland in the Umunna Household. Essential evening viewing. Hiow its own chat too - 'melt', 'grafting', 'aggy' etc.' 

His followers were not impressed with the comments, with many questioning why a politician had tweeted about such trivial matters.
