Some wondered why there weren't subtitles for Love Island.
ITV has confirmed all episodes of Love Island will carry the option of subtitles on ITV2 and on demand on the ITV Hub.
The broadcaster received some complaints last night after Tasha Ghouri announced to her fellow islanders that she was born completely deaf, and wears a cochlear implant to help her hear. As Tasha's moment was rightly celebrated, others pondered why Love Island didn't have subtitling options available to them during the broadcast.
The good news for those that need subtitles is that they are available via the ITV Hub, though this isn't available for live broadcasts at the moment.

ITV further confirmed to a Twitter user that it hopes to have subtitling available for live-streamed shows in the future, too.
