#LoveIsland: Eyal Booker booted off reality show
The “Buddha of Bushey” started packing his bags, alongside Zara McDermott, following the eviction from the ITV2 reality show
Francine Wolfisz is the Features Editor for Jewish News.
Love Island’s Jewish contestant was forced to pack his bags after being voted off the reality show, last night.
Eyal Booker, 22, dubbed the “Buddha of Bushey” on the ITV2 show, was booted out alongside Zara McDermott, following a vote by the other contestants.
In the wake of his eviction, the former JFS pupil called out his love interest, Megan Barton-Hanson, for “breaking girl code” by dumping him and making a move on Wes.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: “She didn’t consider anyone else’s feelings except her own by behaving in the way that she did.
“Megan was truly careless. She doesn’t care about anyone else but herself and what she wants to gain out of situations.
“She is playing the biggest game in there, from what I have seen.”
Six new male contestants and six new females will arrive during tonight’s episode.
Love Island continues on ITV2.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
