Love Island All Stars: Jack Keating Says Producers Tried To Ban Viral "Charge It" Catchphrase

Jack Keating says the executive producer moved to curb a catchphrase he felt was derailing conversations.

Overview

  • Keating told The Six O'Clock Show that before the US villa segment, the main executive producer instructed Islanders to stop saying "charge it."
  • He recounted the producer's words that the phrase "ruins conversations," "doesn't mean anything," and that "nobody likes it."
  • The expression had spread widely in the series, and Keating said it was something the girls, including Belle Hassan and Whitney Adebayo, often said.
  • Social media reaction was split, with some viewers agreeing the show needed usable chat while others admitted they now use the phrase themselves.
  • The disclosure adds a rare glimpse into how ITV2's All Stars spin-off manages villa language, with episodes available to stream on ITVX.
