Could this be Britt's last day on the island? An epic storm's a-brewing and if she doesn't find rescue soon, it'll be all over for Britt and Betty. Like a bad omen sent from the pits of Fyre Festival 2.0, VLDL's very own Adam King washes up with the flotsam this week and chats all things Viva, filmmaking and (checks notes) Anne Geddes portraiture.
With the sand-to-body ratio of an hourglass and skin resembling a sundried tomato, the brave Britt Clark waits patiently for rescue from The Island. Like a gift from the heavens, the wildly talented Ella Hope-Higginson drops onto the beach to help Britt while away the hours with behind the scenes stories from her time on Rings Of Power and some very juicy personal goss.
After another failed attempt at building a seaworthy raft, poor sandlogged Britt is in dire need of a pick-me-up. Who’s that on the horizon? Has rescue finally reached the island? No! But it’s the next best thing: Ellie Harwood majestically surfing the waves upon her surprisingly strong miniature schnauzer Ruby.
Maybe the heat’s getting to Britt, maybe it was the unidentified shellfish she ate, or maybe it’s not a cruel mirage at all - actual angel actress Ariāna Osborne joins our castawayed host on The Island this week to chat about her experience on the set of award-winning film Mārama and give Britt a lesson on the importance of crafting.
A new bombshell (Brynley Stent) has entered the villa (The Island) and she's here to find love (Chip and Dale mascots from the Disney cruise). Following a mammoth run of comedy shows, a hit web series and fun new tendency for night terrors, Brynley gets comfy on the sand with Britt to share a couple of body temp ginger nuts under Betty's watchful eye.
The Island is fully haunted now and sweet Britt reckons "rescue is imminent". To distract from her naive hopefulness, Britt is joined on shore by brilliant actor and comedian Janaye Henry. Freshly yeeted off the back of a banana boat, Janaye settles in to reflect on her Celebrity Treasure Island adventures and her year of teaching sex education.

It's day two... or maybe day three on The Island. With a beard fit for a castaway and a belly full of RTDs, the one and only Hamish Parkinson washes ashore to keep Britt company. Tune in for the storied showbiz history of Hamish, unhinged puppetry, and a highly unrecommended urine-to-drinkable water instructional. We do not endorse this message.
Today on The Island, Britt is hit with a jolt of friendly company in the form of writer, actor and jiu jitsu master Ben Van Lier. The VLDL alumni dive deep into Ben's first foray into acting, a concussion-inducing audition, and of course: a step by step guide on how to choke a guy out.
