Love Island fans all have one thing to say about Manchester's Italian bombshell

Love Island fans all had one thing to say about the new male Italian bombshell who entered the villa on Monday evening. Davide Sanclimenti turned heads and caused a stir when he walked into the villa in a partially unbuttoned shirt.

And fans were all quick to comment on his dashing looks on Twitter as the first episode of the eighth series kicked off. @robynjournalist wrote: "Never saw Davide on Hinge when I went to Italy I feel SICK"

@ChantayyJayy penned: "Davide is a REAL man. I know he can build a house with his bare hands," as @daniella2daniel wrote: "Davide is just too fine wow."

Davide entered the villa after the initial five couples had already been made at the start of the show after a vote from the British public.. The business owner, who is from Rome but lives in Manchester has made a late entrance, shocking his fellow islanders.

As he walked into the new villa in Majorca, 27-year-old Sanclimenti asked “did anyone order an Italian snack?”

@hinnx2 said: "Everybody’s drooling for Davide’s accent" as previous contestant Shaughna Phillips tweeted: "Can the next episode just be of Davide doing whatever Davide does?"

@Jac0bWilliam said: "Davide is beautiful" and @jmulaann wrote: "Davide knows how hot he is he doesn’t even need to do much."

Before heading into the villa, Davide said his 'Italian charm' was set to woo women in the villa. He added: "I'm good looking and I've realised since I first arrived in Manchester, a lot of English girls actually love me."

The first ten contestants entered the brand new villa in Majorca and discovered their fate was in the public’s hands from the show’s host Laura Whitmore. The coupling first kicked off with microbiologist Dami Hope and nanny Amber Beckford.

Liam Llewellyn, a 22-year-old student from Newport, found himself matched with Gemma Owen, daughter of former England footballer Michael Owen.

The show’s first deaf contestant Tasha Ghouri coupled up with estate agent Andrew Le Page while Ikenna Ekwonna partnered with Indiyah Polack and paramedic Paige Thorne coupled up with Luca Bish.
