SOMETHING odd happened at the end of This Morning’s interview with Love Island’s Nathan, Danielle and Chyna last week.
Phillip Schofield turned to them and said: “It’s great having you back in the country,” like they’d been up in the Space Station, with Major Tim Peake, or Helmand Province, rather than a sunbathing contest on ITV2.
At that point I knew Britain had lost its friggin’ mind over this television show.
I’m no innocent here, of course. I’m hooked on the damn thing and actively seek out fellow Love Island obsessives for conversations.
So with that and my unfailing commitment to quality/space-filling journalism in mind, a quiz to test your level of commitment, or introduce you to the combatants.

THE day after that whinnying pony dumped all over This Morning’s carpet, some mad woman’s pet crow unleashed an ear-bleeding squawk before dropping its load on Holly and Phillip’s sofa.
A fact I mention for two reasons.
First, because it was funny and, second, because Katie Price relaunched her singing her career on the Quest Red channel last night.
A fly-on-the-wall venture called My Crazy Life. Which is a bit of an optimistic title, given Katie’s life is horrendously dull, as a succession of ever more obscure television channels, like Sky Living, TLC and Quest Red, have learned the hard way.
The reason for this couldn’t be more obvious. The star of the show is interested in no one but herself.
Other people exist just to be bent to her stupid, toxic will, as we discovered when she announced: “I’m going to release a single, what do you think?”
Son Junior thought she was “having a laugh”.
Daughter Princess looked mortified.
Distressed pilot whales began beaching themselves up and down the coast of Britain.
Only one person, in fact, on the entire planet thought this was a good idea.
So I don’t need to tell you what happens next, do I?
Fetch the bucket and mop, Holly.
