ITV are definitely not feeling the love following criticism and backlash from the NHS over the reported large number of cosmetic surgery, and diet advertisements, airing during the breaks of the reality tv show, Love Island.
The dating series, which features an array of the U.K’s most glamorous 20-somethings, has reportedly fueled a surge of queries to cosmetic clinics across Britain and Ireland. One Irish clinic is now even offering a ‘Love Island’ package which allows participants to get one step closer to their dream aesthetic.
In response to this trend, chief executive of NHS England, Simon Stevens has criticised ITV heavily on their decision to run explicit ads aimed at young women around breast cosmetic surgery.
In response, ITV’s chief executive, Carolyn McCall has said that, though the promotions do meet broadcast regulators’ standards, the channel will still review their decision to run these types of ads during the show.

Media giant, Mindshare, has launched a brand new tool, which could see your PTO turned into philanthropy. In a bid to reduce media spend by charitable organisations, Mindshare has created Dooonate, an easy-to-use tool that allows users to donate the space of their out-of-office (OOO) emails to a good cause.
The tool launched following the realisation that the British workforce can generate up to 51 million OOO emails every day, each of which contains a bulk of empty space. According to Marketing Communication News, Mindshare has estimated that the value of this empty space could be worth £1 for every thousand emails, giving workers the opportunity to donate up to £51,000 every day.
