Love Island Summer 2024 contestant Patsy Field has opened up about her disability and proudly said: “It’s cool to be different.”
Speaking with her current partner Manvir Jabar on tonight’s (June 5) episode, Patsy said: “The bottom line is, I have a disability. I haven’t told anyone anything yet because I don’t know and I feel awkward about bringing it up.”
“So my arms are kind of disabled. I don’t have the strength, I can’t lift anything above shoulder height, so I sometimes need help styling my hair.”

“Sometimes I think if I have something different, I don’t know if people are going to find it totally sexy, but being different is cool.”
Manveer agreed with her and told her to “be a spoon in a world of forks” and promised to give her all the help she needed.
Later, Manveer confesses to one of the other boys that he likes Patsy but wants to see what other girls are like.
He told her the next day that he wanted to talk to the other girl “out of respect,” which she readily accepted, stating that she was not “locked in” at the moment.

Elsewhere in the episode, Harriet Blackmore saw Ciaran Davies take Nicole Samuel aside for a chat, which also made Nicole angry. The morning afterwards, the pair made up and Harriet took Joey out onto the terrace at The Hideaway for a chat and told Nicole her plan to make Ciaran jealous.
Joey Essex took advantage of the situation by asking Harriet to perform a sexy dance, which she gladly complied with. In a confessional, Ciaran said he knew what Harriet was doing and felt she needed to “grow up”.
Are they doomed as a couple?
