Love Island fans divided over 'sneaky' Mike Boateng
Lots of viewers don't trust the former police officer
We are now one week into the brand new Winter edition 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 is set to arrive as the third bombshell.
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.
One user wrote, 'I want to like Leanne and Mike so badly but tbh I just don't trust him I dunno there is something about him #LoveIsland', with another writing, 'something just does not feel right about Mike, think he might ruin (me and) Leanne in a couple of weeks 💔 #LoveIsland'. sic
Another wrote, 'Connagh didn’t even do anything sneaky. He has no loyalties to Connor or any of those guys lol Mike loves being the voice of reason #loveisland'. sic
However, other viewers are loving Mike, with many gushing over how cute he is with Leanne.
One added, 'I love mike and Leanne man, fam, they’re winning this', with another writing, 'Congratulations Mike and Leanne on winning 2020 Love island winter 🎈'. sic
