Love Island contestant sentenced in court failed to reveal brawl. "I did not tell anyone on the Love Island Production team or Channel 9 that this incident had occurred before my involvement in the show." A Love Island contestant who failed to tell producers about a pending assault charge prior to filming has apologised just days before he will appear on screen. CCTV footage played in court showed Benson and his co-accused confronting the pair before Benson began throwing punches. Awkwardly, Nine quietly deleted the reference to a “handy boxer” in an updated press kit following his court appearance.
