THERE WERE THREE Irish contestants on Love Island this year, but it took a Polish woman to bring the phrase “póg mo thóin” to the UK mainstream. Lola took umbrage with Julia’s attention to Seán and it culminated in an argument in which Julia told Lola: “Póg mo thóin.” Sean Fitzy teaching Julia “Póg mo thóin” in Casa Amor and her saying it directly to LOLA hahahaha I am howling. From Maura Higgins and Greg O'Shea to Fitzy: How have the Irish done on Love Island UK? Most people go on Love Island to gain social media followers, chase brand deals, or maybe even in the hope of finding a real romantic connection.
