ITV Love Island fans pick early winners as they want other couple to 'go home'

Love Island fans are quickly forming their opinions on the Islanders just days into the series returning. The hit ITV2 dating show burst back onto screens on Monday night (June 6) and after only two days of action, viewers are already making very big claims.

The second episode, which aired on Tuesday night (June 7) saw the couples 'grafting' ahead of the series' first bombshell Davide Sanclimenti having to make a decision on who he'd like to couple up with. The Italian business owner, who is from Rome but lives in Manchester, had many of the girls swooning while their current partners looked on.

By the end of the episode it was time for Davide to choose his first partner and it was always going to ruffle feathers as the the partner of whichever girl he would choose would end up single and risk being dumped from the Spanish villa in just a couple of days time.

However, Davide's decision caused drama among viewers as he chose to pair up with Gemma Owen on the ITV2 dating contest, who is the daughter of former footballer Michael Owen. Dressage rider Gemma, 19, and Davide, 27 are now coupled up leaving poor Liam Llewellyn vying to keep his place in Love Island's new Mallorca home.

While much of the talk was about the new couple, other viewers were turning their attention to a pair that are yet to be coupled up. Tasha Ghouri is currently paired with Andrew Le Page. The pair were flirting during Monday night's launch episode as they got to know each other after being paired together by the public.

And as they woke up next to each other following their first night in the villa, things appeared to be going well as Andrew placed his arm around her, leaving the pair sharing a cuddle. But Luca Bish also has his sites set on Tasha and he wasted no time in pointing out her tender moment with Andrew.

"Did you have a nice spoon last night, did you?" Luca said to her before adding: "I’m not jealous, I’m not!" to which Tasha then replies: "You don’t wish it was you?" And the pair later shared a kiss as part of the first challenge of the series leaving the model and dancer in a love triangle.

But Love Island fans have already decided who they want Tasha to couple up with - and even say they could win. @mwalter2002 tweeted: "TASHA AND LUCA FOR THE WIN IM CALLING IT NOW #LoveIsland." @AlexBatt echoed: "I am all in on Tasha and Luca. Love them. Want them to win. #LoveIsland."

@nnaomimary2 commented: "I feel like luca and tasha are gonna win #LoveIsland." @p1xiekat wrote: "Me waiting for Luca and Tasha to couple up so they can win the entire series #LoveIsland." @racheljokelly added: "Tasha and Luca will couple up and win I’m calling it now #LoveIsland."

And after last night's recouple for Gemma, they've also made it clear who they don't want to stay. @111b4z tweeted: "Send davide and gemma home together please and thanks #LoveIsland." @its_leky wrote: "If Davide picks Gemma they can watch the next sunset from the plane home #loveisland."

@daanitbtlia commented: "Hope Gemma and Davide couple up so we can send them home together #LoveIsland." @Joyridethealbum added: "Now we can send both Gemma & Davide home let’s go!!!! #loveisland."
