The wit of the discourse at the poolside bar is effervescent

This year’s Love Island, as befits one of the most romantic stories ever told, is to have a tie-in novelisation by none other than Emily Brontë. Read the excerpts:

Chapter One

Arriving at the island, I feared I should never see Heathcliff again. He had departed for sea, or perhaps the Army. My heart was wrecked like my father’s ship on the rocks, but I then I ascertained there were some pretty buff guys I might wank off.

Chapter Two

The climes are far more clement here than the bluffs and moors of Yorkshire, so I slipped into a bikini. A bequest from a maiden aunt before the voyage had seen a prudent investment in implants, making me 34EE.

Chapter Three

The wit of the discourse at the poolside bar is effervescent. ‘Is Transformers a true story?’ asked Cheryline. ‘I believe it is a fiction like those of Edgar Allen Poe,’ I contended. And was well rewarded with a charming compliment from Brayden, who proffered ‘You is well fit, babe.’

Chapter Four

After a childhood and marriage vexed and tempest-tossed, I have decided to make a gift of my heart to Brayden. Or is it Marco? Or Jaxyn? I fear I am having great difficulty telling them apart! Either ways, I boned one of them on top, so should not depart yet.

Chapter Five

As the snake in Eden, in this very paradise there is a succubus straight from Hell itself: Anna. She has her eye well on my Brayden, as I lamented in the diary room while calling her a bitch. But my spirit burns too bright for this Love Island, and I keep my eye on the £50k.

Chapter Six

Brayden and Anna’s close but scandalously false relationship caused me to fall into a terrible faint. I thought I might expire of the vapours, when a rough growl erupted from the sunken garden. It was Heathcliff, my love! He was not dead but had been coupled with Sally. ‘F**k off Brayden, you milksop’ he said, whilst getting right up in his face.

Chapter Seven

Deserved winners, Heathcliff and I have engaged a celebrity PR firm while we take in the marketing opportunities. Ours is a passion that will last longer than the limestone which underpins the Yorkshire Moors. Or about four to six months while we get our book out.

The Daily Mash

Of course.

  1. Probably exactly how it is; unfortunately I have never viewed this televisual delight, so can't really offer accurate comment.

    1. I would rather scour my eyeballs with wire wool than watch this - or indeed anything that passes for "reality TV". Never have; never will. Jx

  2. Note to self: buy up stocks of brillo.
    Utter tosh, but I do get a giggle from "The Mash."

  3. Can J-Lo star in the movie? ‘You is well fit, babe.’ Adored this. Thanks for the school girl giggles. Kizzes.

    1. Can J-Lo do an Essex accent? They'd need to reinforce the bar-stools at that beach bar as well, with that arse. Jx

  4. I'll wait until the Brontë novelisation gets adapted into a film (à la Austenland - one of my favourites!)

    1. Spookily similar plot, actually - fake people role-playing for money. Only with crinolines. Jx
