From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

In one of the more unsual TV crossovers of the year, Love Island presenter Laura Whitmore has left a comment on the Instagram post of a Stranger Things star.

Whitmore – who returned to host the current series of the ITV reality dating show – commented on actor Jamie Campbell Bower’s Instagram photo of himself in costume as Stranger Things villain Vecna.

“And the new bombshell entering the villa is… Vecna! Needs some factor 50, though,” Whitmore joked.

The TV presenter’s comment attracted many likes from fans of both shows.

Two stars of the series, Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp, called out the show after completing work on this year’s season.

Elsewhere on Sunday night’s (4 July) of Love Island, Gemma Owen dropped a revelation about her relationship with Luca Bish.

The couple were divided with the return of Casa Amor, a twist that sees the contestants separated from their other halves and put into a separate villa, where they mix with a new load of singles who will undoubtedly stir up trouble.

Love Island continues on Monday night (4 July) at 9pm on ITV2.
