OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Rimmer has blasted ‘Love Island’ as “cruel”.
The 60-year-old celebrity chef revealed his 25-year-old daughter Flo rejected an invitation from TV bosses to appear on the programme.
He told MailOnline: “My daughter got invited to go on it. Basically, they picked her up from Instagram because she has quite a big following because she has done stuff with me online and she turned it down.
“She’s very much not a ‘Love Island’ kind of person. But I thought it was a weird approach really. She is so not a ‘Love Island’ person.
“I wouldn’t say it would be my dream job for her. But if she decided to do it she would do it for the right reasons, she wouldn’t do it to find love she would be like ‘you know what, this could be a career opportunity,’ she’s quite savvy so she would do it for those reasons rather than thinking, ‘I’m going to find love,’ but I don’t think any of them really think that do they?”
‘Sunday Brunch’ star Simon also admitted he finds the show a “hard watch”.
He continued: “I find it a hard watch. I find it cruel. I also think it is a massive step back for feminism and women.
“I don’t think it’s what I want young people to be doing and how I want males to behave or the way females to behave.”
He would also be against his son Hamish, 20, joining the show.
He said: “It feels a bit weird that we’re still having girls being treated like objects and I don’t like that objectification.
“As a father of a daughter I don’t think I would want… I don’t want my son to behave in a way like that towards women and I don’t want my daughter to be treated that way by men.”
