Dennis Wise's daughter to join Love Island as she sets her sights on bagging footballer in Casa Amor

The daughter of former Newcastle football director Dennis Wise is set to join Love Island.

Amber Wise has warned those in the villa to brace themselves because she is prepared to get stuck in - just like her former England footballer dad, the Mirror reports.

The 19-year-old graphic design student from Buckinghamshire is one of the new girls being drafted into Casa Amor this week. And Amber has said she will not hold back from putting herself out there as she looks to bag semi-pro footballer, Tyrique Hyde, who plays for Lewes FC.

Speaking before entering the villa she said: "Tyrique’s a carbon copy of the boys I have previously dated. Football is a big part of my family. I would want them to fit into my family.

“Maybe Tyrique and Ella (are the most solid couple) but they always seem to be up and down. As soon as Ella is in Casa Amor, I think it’ll be out of sight out of mind for Tyrique – especially when I head into the villa!”

Amber is following in the footsteps of Liverpool legend Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma, who took part in the ITV2 series last summer. And her dad, Dennis, 56, is no stranger to reality TV himself after taking part in 2017’s I’m A Celebrity.

“I’m very independent, I’ve never needed a guy, now it’s more that I want one," she said.

“I’m creative, very flirty, and have always got a guy on the go. I’m usually the friend that brings all the drama to my friends’ lives."

She continued: “I’m going to go in there, get to know everyone and see who gives me the same energy back. I’m confident, so I will just be myself.”
