Love Island fever has taken over the nation once again this summer, and is currently drawing in millions of viewers each night.
And if you’re one of those millions of viewers, how would you like to bag yourself £3,500?
Do you know everything that’s going on in the villa? Are you up to date with the ins and outs of each islanders’ relationship? Do you sit up and take notice when you hear the words “can I pull you for a chat?”. Well, this may just be the perfect job for you.
FandomSpot.com – a leading platform for online communities and fandoms – is recruiting for a fan of the ITV2 reality dating show to binge watch all the episodes in the current series and create engaging content for its site.
If that wasn’t enticing enough as it is, the Love Island Investigator and Editor will be paid £3,500 for their troubles.
Here’s everything you need to know.
What does the role entail?
The successful applicant will be required to spend three hours a day consuming episodes of the ever-popular reality show, as well as trawling through gossip blogs, social media, and relevant Love Island news platforms.
This is to “investigate any backlash following every episode”.

What skills do I need?
If you think you’re perfect for the role, but are worried about a lack of writing experience, you don’t need to worry to much as the job description states that the role is “best suited” to somebody with insider knowledge of what fans want to know and read about, and that qualifications and previous editorial experience are not required.
“Applicants must be over the age 18, and have great written English skills,” it adds.
Strong writing, digital literacy and investigative skills are a bonus, as well as social media talents, and additionally, candidates are required to have a strong enough internet connection to upload their work, and to binge watch the show live.

How much will I get paid?
Even though fans of the show likely won’t need much of an incentive to carry on watching, FandomSpot is offering an impressive one-off payment of £3,599 to the successful applicant.
Though the current series of Love Island is expected to come to a close on Monday 23 August, the company says “there could be opportunities for the right candidate to create content about future seasons of the show and other similar reality TV series.”
Fancy it? The closing date for applications is Thursday 12 August, and you can apply here.

Nearly a quarter of Brits are making cups of tea ‘all wrong’, new survey reveals
Emily Sergeant
A new survey has found that a staggering 127 million cups of tea are drunk in Britain each year, but apparently, a quarter of us are making them ‘all wrong’.
Nothing is arguably more British than a brew, right?
Whether you take it builder’s, milky, with sugar or sweetener, decaf, green, or even herbal, popping the kettle on and making a brew can be a sacred daily ritual for us tea-loving Brits, with everyone having their own personal tastes and preferences on how to make it the perfect cup.
But what is the correct way to make a cup of tea? Now that’s up for debate, but after finding out that nearly three quarters (72%) of Brits drink an average of four cups a day, Aldi has commissioned some new research to try and get to the bottom of it once and for all, and has polled the nation to discover what really does make the perfect cuppa.
Apparently, 78% of the population is so passionate about a good brew that they have to give exact instructions to someone if they offer to make them a cup.

English Breakfast tea was found to be the go-to choice of tea, with 67% of survey respondents calling it their favourite, but there does appear to be a bit of discrepancy when it comes to how to make it though – as 78% say they like to add the water first before letting the bag stew for two minutes to achieve the ultimate ‘toffee brown’ shade.
Almost half (49%) agreed that a splash of semi-skimmed milk should then be added to help bring the temperature down, and two in five (38%) prefer no sugar in their liquid gold… but that’s where the similarities seem to end.
According to Aldi’s research, almost a quarter (22%) of people are making their tea ‘wrong’ by putting the milk in first.
“It’s clear that tea remains a very important part of our lives, with the average Brit consuming a staggering 1,460 cups a year,” commented etiquette consultant, Jo Bryant.
“I’m with the majority, as I love a cup of English Breakfast tea, freshly-brewed for around two minutes, with a moderate amount of milk, and it’s always tea first, milk last – it is good manners when making someone else a cup of tea to check how they like it.
“Most people simply ask about milk and sugar, but it is better tea-making etiquette to also enquire about strength and any other preferences.
“Try to take the time to make perfect brews for friends, colleagues and family, and make sure you remember just how they like it for next time.”

Levi’s are the latest fashion brand to launch an Oasis collection
Danny Jones
In case you missed it amid the tidal wave of merch currently flooding our feeds and shops everywhere, global fashion brand Levi’s has become the latest label to launch an Oasis collection.
With the Live ’25 world tour now officially underway, it feels like not only are Oasis back on top, but that there’s a large-scale Britpop revival happening here in the UK and overseas.
In terms of fashion, the 1990s and early 2000s style has been steadily making its way into contemporary culture once again in recent years, but with seemingly every big name trying to hop on the marketing machine that is the Oasis reunion bandwagon, you can’t move for crossover.
Be they official collaborations like the one with Manchester City, adidas Originals; American fashion brand Abercrombie & Fitch bashing out merch, or a local t-shirt maker on Bury Market, that famous logo is absolutely everywhere – cue Levi’s latest launch:
Releasing just five or five main pieces (not including individual item variations), Levi’s Oasis gear has been kept pretty straightforward, simply relying on a less is more philosophy and the quality that the denim specialists are renowned for.
Nevertheless, there is an undeniably 90s feel to the approach.
As well as the standard Oasis band tee design, available in the brand’s main red, white and blue colour, as well as black, white and light blue – the Manchester City influences never stray too far, after all – there are a couple of other types of tee.
However, while we’re sure plenty of people might have a penchant for the parka, the undeniable star of the show for us is the Type II Trucker Jacket with the group’s name and ‘Live Forever’ stitched on the breast pocket.
Still, at £170, these sure-to-be collectors’ items don’t come cheap, and that’s not even the most expensive in the Levi’s x Oasis collection. Regardless, if you fancy treating yourself, you can find them here in Manchester and at the likes of The Trafford Centre.
Any of it pique your interest?
Don’t worry if not because, as mentioned, there is absolutely tonnes of Oasis clobber at various different price points all over the place at the minute.
