Love Island’s Dami Hope got hot under the collar on Monday (August 15) after meeting a fan while out and about with girlfriend Indiyah Polack in London.
The pair became an item after finishing third in season eight of the hit ITV2 show, but Dami took objection to the over-enthusiastic fan calling Indiyah his “little wife”.
In a video posted on TikTok and then on Twitter, the youngster can be seen filming himself meeting the Love Island couple outside a cafe and saying to the camera: “Your man’s here, Dami…”
The 26-year-old replies: “Yeh, you alright bro,” while smiling into the camera, with Indiyah looking on. But Dami’s mood turns when the teenager adds, “…with my little wife Indiyah.”
An instantly annoyed Dami responds with: “Your little what?”, and turns his head towards the laughing fan, who quickly blurts out, “Oh sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry…”
Dami, though, doesn’t see the funny side, replying, “Bro?”, while Indiyah can be seen giggling in the background.
There the video abruptly ends, so one can only speculate what happened next.
The nine-second clip, though, has had over 260,000 views on Twitter and hundreds of Love Island fans have been quick to comment, with one person writing: “Who else noticed Dami did a quick chest out?”
Another adds: “The cheek of that little boy. Respect yourself respectfully.”
The Mirror contacted Dami's representatives for comment.
The pair have recently been talking about the pressure of representing ‘black love’ on the show, with senior microbiologist Dami saying recently: “When I got with Indiyah, I knew everyone would be tweeting ‘black love, black love’.”
Hotel waitress Indiyah added: “I love my black men. But respectfully, if the black love didn’t happen, what am I supposed to do?
“I didn't feel the pressure of, ‘I need to be with a black guy, I need to do this black love’. I went in there for me, if I found someone, I found love – it’s no one else’s business, you can’t pressure me to find love.”
It wasn’t all sweetness and light for Dami and Indiyah during the eight weeks of the show, particularly during the Casa Amor reunion part of the series, where Dami hooked up again with Summer, while Indiyah recoupled with Deji.
Things, however, got back on track after they reunited after this blip in the road, but not before a harsh exchange between the pair – that has become one of the most iconic moments of the series.
