Former Love Island finalist Laura Anderson has defended the limited vocabulary of the show after last night's episode features 87 utterances of the word 'like'.
Today's Good Morning Britain highlighted the popularity of the filler among this year's contestants after a school in Bradford banned pupils from using it.
Copthorne Primary School in West Yorkshire also told children not to give one-word answers such as 'good', 'nice' and 'sad' in a move to improve their lexical diversity.
