 Ex-Love Islander Liam Reardon weighed in on the show's age limit discussion and admitted he failed to see anything wrong in entering the dating series as an 18-year-old. The former bricklayer, 23, won the popular ITV reality phenomenon with his then-partner Millie Court back in 2021 and made his television debut at 21, himself. Commenting on the debate that was sparked among the public after Amber Wise, 19, appeared as a bombshell on the current series, the star explained that he felt there was nothing 'wrong legally' with how the fixture operated its casting.

'It depends on how you look at it. I don't think it's anything wrong legally. So why should there be anything wrong if it's not wrong legally?', according to Liam.

He went on to share his own thoughts on the daughter of footballer Dennis Wise: 'I think Sammy was coupled up with Amber and I think Sammy's only like 23. It's not much age difference. 'It's not wrong, but you know, it is whether they want younger people on the show or an older demographic on the show. The age debate was sparked by Amber's arri){kind=link}
