Love Island USA salutes the executive producer James Barker.
The late producer on the Peacock dating series sadly passed away last week after an “unexpected medical emergency” in Fiji.
On Tuesday night (June 16), the series shared a special tribute to the late member of their team.
At the end of the episode, before the preview for the next one, the screen read “For James” before showing a series of images of James over the years.
After the pictures, the screen read “We love you” in white letters over a black screen.
Sore Deadline, James started as a story producer on the show in 2020 before moving up to executive producer. During his time on the show, he covered production and post-production, as well as overseeing the soundtrack for the series.
Host Ariana Madix also shared a special message to the islanders after the challenge on Tuesday’s episode, telling them, “None of us know how much time we have. For some, that time may be cut far too short, so please cherish every moment.”
The day before, ITV America and Peacock issued a statement about his sudden passing.
James‘ partner Adam Roth also talked about the lossthat reflects on the life they built together.
