Anton Danyluk has hit out at the show that made him famous, saying Love Island ‘gives a false sense of the real world’.
The reality star, 25, who appeared on the fifth series in 2019, has criticised the structure of the show for being ‘false’, saying the couples can’t fall in love before dating for longer, and insists it sets too high a standard for young viewers to aspire to.
Speaking to hosts Bobby Norris and Stephen Leng on FUBAR Radio’s Access All Areas, Anton said: ‘What I don’t like about Love Island is the way it portrays love.’

He continued: ‘These kids again are watching these luxurious dates where you’re going on a helicopter, you’re landing down, you know, on an island and you’re having a little picnic. And they think this is normal life.
‘Then when their boyfriends are taking them to McDonald’s drive-through, they wonder why their relationships aren’t working, because they’re looking up to those guys.’
Picking apart the structure of the show, he added: ‘When is it realistic that you’re in love with someone before you start dating someone?
‘You’re almost doing things in the opposite way. It’s almost set up to fail effectively.’

And, while he insists he appeared in the genuine hope of finding love, Anton believes it’s clear to see people’s intentions for taking part have changed, with people wanting to cash in on their fame once the show ends.
The gym owner was approached to audition by programme creators and, while he admits he thought it could boost his career, he didn’t want to trample on other people’s hearts to get ahead in the game.

Anton’s comments come after fans were left shocked by his barely recognisable appearance in an Instagram post shared on Monday.
Debuting his chiseled new look , he penned a note to his one million followers reading: ‘Grateful for everything in my life.’
Anton, who posted to promote his book, penned: ‘Grateful for everything in my life. Book launch in 4 days. Link in bio for all preorders’ and included the praying hands, book and red love-heart emojis.
The handsome Scot was able to show off his muscles in the image by donning a very tight long sleeved black polo shirt which clung to his biceps.

Finding success: Anton is now releasing a book, which he was promoting in the post
Completing the ensemble, he wore black skinny jeans, all while he posed by looking away from the camera.
Anton is set to release his book, 50 Steps to the Best Version of Yourself, in which he will talk about his journey from being an ‘overweight teenager’ to ‘Love Island favourite.’
The book will aid readers in becoming the best version of themselves through wellness and fitness.
Anton has recently spoke on the CASA Spin podcast on Friday about the lack of contact from the former islanders, saying: ‘People come off the show, get their blue tick, get their million followers and go so far up their a**es it’s unbelievable.’
‘It’s quite sad but at the same time I always appreciate the journey I had with the people in there.’
‘It don’t matter what [happened] because it was unbelievable’, Anton said to presenter Tara Walsh.
The personal trainer appeared on season 5 of the series which saw Greg O’Shea and Amber Gill taking home the £50k cash prize.
Good friends: Anton recently revealed that the only Islander he still speaks to is 31-year-old pharmacist Anna Vakili. The pals pictured on Love Island in 2019
