Love Island's Toby Aromoloran spotted sending secret hand signal to teammates

Love Island fans have clocked Toby Aromoloran sending secret hand signal to his teammates at Hashtag United.

The 22-year-old, who is currently coupled up with Kaz Kamwi, 29, entered the Hidden Hills villa late last month and it appears he’s already missing the beautiful game.

Toby joined semi-professional club Hashtag United, which is based in Pitsea, Essex, last year.

And now eagle-eyed supporters of the club have noticed Toby waving the team’s celebratory hand gesture, a hashtag sign with his fingers, on the show.

In a shot shared by one viewer, Kaz is pictured laughing in the background Toby shows off his club's hand gesture to his fellow Islanders.

But it’s no coincidence as it seems that Toby's teammates put him up to flashing the team’s trademark movement on the show before he flew to Spain.

A post on the official Hashtag United Instagram page read: "He did it! @tobyaromolaran Hastagged it on @loveisland - we spotted in Sat's show."

After the club confirmed the gesture, viewers took to Twitter to applaud Toby for sneaking the hand movement in.

A fan penned: "He didn't forget!"

"I saw this as well, he did it so well without people noticing, what a guy," another posted.

A third supported shared: "I don’t need to watch anymore now, Love Island complete."

"Dedication," a viewer wrote.

In his Love Island intro video, Toby briefly spoke about his football career – although many hadn’t heard of the team, Hashtag United, he played for.

The semi-professional football club set up in 2016 by YouTube star Spencer Owen and his brother. The club started playing matches in memory of a childhood friend.

After recording their matches and sharing them online they quickly became well known and soared in popularity.

*Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox
