An Arizona woman — and apparent “Love Island” superfan — was clocked going 108 mph in a speedy rush home to watch her favorite reality TV show, authorities said.
The motorist was pulled over in Pinal County on State Route 347 going much faster than the 65 mph speed limit on June 9, according to the highway patrol.
“The driver stated she was trying to get home fast to be able to watch the reality TV show ‘Love Island,’” the highway patrol said in a statement.
“The driver was arrested and booked for criminal speed and reckless driving and the vehicle went to car jail for 20 days.”
“Love Island” streams six nights a week at 9 p.m. ET (7 p.m. MT) on Peacock, which is owned by NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.
Peacock describes it as a “real-time dating competition featuring a group of sexy singles living in a tropical villa,” who can win $100,000 by being the last couple standing.
Viewers are able to vote on their favorite islanders and couples, sometimes resulting in people’s being “dumped” from the show.
The couple with the most votes at the end of the show win the chance to share the $100,000 or potentially cut their partners out of the prize money to keep the entire pot for themselves.
Stand-up comedian Iain Stirling and former “Vanderpump Rules” figure Ariana Madix offer up the steamy play-by-play of the sexy antics.
