Kate Garraway compares Love Island's Dami and Amber kiss to 'licking an ice cream'

Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway was baffled by the kiss between Dami and Amber on Love Island last night.

This morning, she was joined by co-host Ben Shephard and entertainment reporter Richard Arnold as they discussed the latest news from the ITV2 villa of love. Last night's episode saw scientist Dami, 26, and nanny Amber, 24, share their first surprise kiss after the public coupled them up on Monday.

Kate and Ben both commented on how odd the kiss looked as the morning talk show replayed a clip of it. Fans of the show also criticised it, saying that there was "too much tongue."

Ben said: “I think kissing has changed since my day. That wasn't quite how I remember it.” Kate added: “It was more like licking an ice cream. What was that?”

Ben agreed before entertainment reporter Richard Arnold joked: “I haven't gone in for one for years.” Kate said: “Is there no head tilt anymore? It's front on.”

But fellow presenter Charlotte Hawkins defended the kiss, as she said: "You've never seen yourself kissing somebody else, so how do you know what you look like when you're kissing them?" Richard replied: "You look like you're unlocking your jaw.”

Fans on Twitter also had their own say about the kiss. They branded the couple "cute" but said that the locking of lips was "awkward."

Pheebs said: "Nah I’m ALL for Dami & Amber but what was that KISS?! bro you just licked each others faces #LoveIsland." Beandon said: "My god that Dami and Amber kiss. Seen dogs drinking water with less tongue #LoveIsland."

Another user said: "Dami and Amber is cute .. I just hate seeing first kisses." Meanwhile, Cody said: "Dami and Amber are so cute but what was that kiss #LoveIsland."

Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub
