On the public voting couples together, Amy said: ‘We’re more invested, we’ve seen the videos,’ while Amber observed: ‘I think they were very disappointed.
‘I think the first couples – you never really stay together anyway, so it doesn’t really matter.’

With Tasha Ghouri being the programme’s first ever deaf contestant, Amber said: ‘I love that for representation of diversity and it was so powerful how she told everyone and it was so sweet.’

She said of contestant, Gemma Owen’s famous dad being footballer Michael Owen: ‘Obviously she’s been trailed in articles for 3 months and if you’re going in you read all the articles so it’s between Gemma and Luca and who’s gonna break first and admit they know’.
During Love Island’s Series 8 premiere, Amber and Dami were paired up, and they certainly made for a stunning duo during the first dramatic coupling of the series.
Revealing the girl he’d be coupling up with, thanks to the public vote, host Laura Whitmore announced that it would Amber, who told her: ‘Yeah why not, I guess we’ll see!’

Dami could have competition as Amber previously admitted she has dated someone famous, but is the name a secret for now.
If the couple hit it off, Amber will have to win over Dami’s grandma as he said: ‘I don’t know how my grandma is going to feel if I find my wife on a TV show!’
Love Island continues Tuesday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
