Love Island fans divided over ‘sneaky’ Mike Boateng

Lots of viewers don't trust the former police officer

MIKE BOATENG ON LOVE ISLAND

by Alex Ross |
Updated on

We are now one week into the brand new series of Love Island, and finally some drama is hitting the South African villa.

After Ollie Williams quit the show, Eve Gale become the first Islander to be dumped, and now new girl Rebecca Gormley has arrived and has already caused upset.

However, as a number of Islanders are having their heads turned by new arrivals, Mike Boateng and Leanne Amaning seem VERY strong, with the couple pairing up on Day One.

Despite Mike giving us all the feels in his recoupling speech, and melting Leanne's heart, viewers are divided over the former policeman, after he interfered in the drama between new boy Connagh Howard, Sophie Piper and Connor Durman.

After almost "telling off" Welsh hunk Connagh for 'stealing' Sophie from original Connor, Sophie was quick to defend the model, before fans took to Twitter to admit they can't "trust" Mike.
