- Speaking on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast on September 23, the 2025 runner‑up described a clear social divide inside the villa.
- She said she, Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet called themselves “the outcasts,” adding Billykiss, Malisha, Andrada and Emma as others who faced similar exclusion among women of colour.
- Khan said repeated dismissals took an emotional toll, leaving her feeling isolated and internalising negative judgments.
- She detailed a multi‑stage casting route: an introduction at an ITV event, a May 1, 2024 audition, a full round in January 2025, and word she would fly out only after press‑day filming.
- Love Island reiterated its duty‑of‑care policy, and ITV said applications are inclusive with casting intended to reflect the audience’s age and diversity.
