Anton Danyluk on the upcoming series of Love Island is accused of racism after a photo of the contestant in blackface resurfaced.

Not only fans of the show, but former Love Island contestant Marcel Somerville also expressed his outrage at the image.

Blackface was a form of entertainment back in the days. It was not acceptable for decades, it's not funny and simply not acceptable anymore.

It's ridiculous if someone thinks it's okay to make fun of people's color, even if the picture was taken 5 years ago.

People want Anton to be kicked out of the show just like they did with Amber. Fans think it was not a mistake or matter of laugh, if someone doesn't see the problem here, they are just as racist as the contestant is.
