Love Island lead National Reality TV Awards' nominations

Stephanie Soteriou

Love Island is undeniably the shock success of British television so far this year, with the ITV2 reality show winning over everybody from Jeremy Corbyn to Stormzy as it racked up the channel’s highest ever ratings.

Which is why it is no surprise that Love Island is leading the way for this year’s National Reality TV Awards’ nominations, with more than 4.6million fans submitting their choices for 2017’s long list.
