LoveIsland newbie Ron Hall to raise disability awareness after 'challenging' childhood
Incoming Love Islander Ron Hall has said it would be “fantastic” if he could raise awareness while in the villa about being partially sighted.
Speaking ahead of entering the villa, he said: “I just think of myself as normal, although yeah I am disabled and I don’t mind the label. If I can bring awareness and be vocal about it, then fantastic. He admitted that life after his accident was challenging due to the pain from the injury and the mean comments and stares he would get from other children.“I try and use it to my advantage, it’s a great conversation starter, I’ve got two different colour eyes. All right, one might look a bit funny and a bit cloudy but that’s part and parcel of what life throws at you,” he said.
“In the scenario of say a bloke’s either sworn at another girl or they’re in an argument and he’s said something that he probably shouldn’t have, I like to think I’m a bit of a defuser”, he said. Many of the complaints related to “alleged misogynistic and bullying behaviour” by some islanders, although they were not upheld.
He said he would also call out someone if he thought their behaviour was inappropriate but that he would not do it in an “aggressive” way as he would not want to embarrass them in public.
