Irish Love Island star Dami is the talk of social media as viewers change their opinion

Love Island viewers are reacting online to Irish contestant and microbiologist Dami Hope.

The Dublin native and scientist has become a fan favourite since entering the villa.

Dami, 26, turned the heads of the girls when making his entrance and already has fans of the show hooked by his Irish charm and humour.

The Dubliner coupled up with Amber on the first night of the series, and hasn’t shown romantic interest in coupling up with any other girls in the villa.

Love Island switched things up this year, and the love match was down to viewer’s voting, with viewers deciding to set him up with Amber Beckford, 24, a childminder, from London.

Amber and Dami have been growing closer since they first entered the villa.

Love Island has seen success with previous Irish contestants such as Maura Higgins, Yewande Biala and Greg O'Shea, so there are high hopes Dami has a high chance of winning.

On last night's episode, the show treated Dami and Amber to a romantic picnic date outside the villa and a game on the tennis courts.

The loved up pair shared a passionate kiss on the court and during their picnic.

After their match, the pair headed for a drink and some strawberries, giving them a chance to get to know each other even more - outside the group in the villa.

Amber wasted no time during the date and told Dami she wasn’t interested in any of the other boys in the villa.

The pair discussed how much family means to them.

During the date, Dami shows his competitive side, and says he doesn’t want to lose Amber.

Amber asks Dami, “What is your dream girl?”

He says: “She’d look like you, you'd need to have a twin in here for me to turn my head."

Fans of Dami reacted on Twitter to share their thoughts and how much they love him.

One fan said: “I am here for more Dami screen time #LoveIsland”

A second said: “Dami is just there trying to make everyone feel better. He is just a sweetie #LoveIsland.”

While another said: “It's official Dami is the best boy in the Villa”

A fourth said: “Dami is the best boy in that villa I love him.”

Following their romantic date, a surprise dumping happens, with Afia Tonkmor exiting the villa.
