Amy Hart is on a mission, to prove Love Island stars ‘are not all airheads’ by appearing on Question Time this week.
The television personality, 29, who rose to fame on the 2019 series of the show, has been brushing up on her politics ahead of her seat on the panel.
‘If someone had told me after Love Island that in two years’ time I was going to be on the Question Time panel, I would have thought they were joking, that wouldn’t have crossed my mind,’ she told The Sun.

‘But I’ve always liked proving people wrong and just because I was on a reality TV show doesn’t mean I don’t read the news or can’t have opinions. I just wish people would realise that we’re not all airheads.’
And Amy is determined to prove viewers wrong. The reality star has had a keen interest in politics and has been an active member of the Labour Party since she was 17.
The reality star even hosted a Labour party conference panel with Keir Starmer earlier this week.

She said at the time: ‘I do think there needs to be a creators’ union, because a lot of us make a living off of social media. People are very snobby about influencing, but then in the next breath they’re tagging where their outfits are from in the hopes of getting reposted on their accounts.’
And Amy said that people have ‘tried to discredit me’, joking she would ask the party leader ‘his favourite sauce on chips’ over hard-hitting questions.

‘A lot of young people are turned off by politics because they think it’s all privately educated men in suits. Which a lot of it is.’
Amy then decided to quote one of her ‘favourite musicals’, Made In Dagenham.
‘Nothing changes if it isn’t challenged’, she said.
Amy will have to find her voice on the panel as she’s set to star alongside Conservative Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs George Eustice and Labour MP Wes Streeting.
