ITV Love Island fans divided over Luca 'fake' row as he reminds them of a former Islander

The main villa on Love Island was in chaos in Monday night's episode with plenty of kissing threatening to tear relationships apart. Love Island fans' fears were confirmed when Dami Hope kissed new girl Summer Botwe behind Indiyah Polack's back after the couple became fan favourites.

There were more shocks as Davide Sanclimenti, who is coupled with another show favourite Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, smooched bombshell Coco Lodge. And fans weren't waiting for long before Coco was kissing a defiant Andrew Le Page, who was rattled on the ITV2 dating contest when he was warned by the new girls to be 'more open' after coupling with Tasha Ghouri.

“I think she’s just settled for convenience," Coco previously told him about Tasha. And after kissing the new arrival Andrew told the other boys that he's going to ask for his ring back from model Tasha, who has been packed off to neighbouring Casa Amor with the girls to meet six male bombshells.

Andrew packed his ring with Tasha's belongings for her stay. But he told his pals: ""I'm going to request to get my ring back." And Luca cheered: "The divorce is happening."

But Dami snapped at Luca, who is coupled with Gemma Owen the daughter of footballing star Michael Owen. "Relax man. I know you want to win. Be real for once," he told him. And, branding Luca 'fake' he blasted: "Stop egging us on."

But Luca told him: "I don't believe anyone here would say I'm fake." The fishmonger then apologised as he told the senior microbiologist: "I'm sorry I chatted s*** and celebrated like we won the World Cup." The lads then shook hands as Dami agreed that his feelings for Gemma were genuine.

@SanjnaVekaria tweeted: "Luca is mad cos he got called out for tryna sabotage everyone else." @_chester0107 tweeted: "Luca’s game is so straightforward. He’s egged on the boys, while staying the ‘most loyal’ so everyone will like him." And @Thelifeoftjhigh said: "The only thing I agreed with Dami tonight was calling out Luca. He is in it for the win!"

But @heyJWray tweeted: "Absolute respect for Luca in #LoveIsland Only genuine guy in there!" @LoveSaidNotSo defended: "Why is Luca fake cause he genuinely likes Gemma and wants to stay loyal?" And @LathamJD said: "I feel bad for Luca. Yes he’s protective and all over Gemma but maybe that’s just because he likes her that much? The way Dami and the rest of the boys ganged up on him, didn’t sit well with me. He clearly just liked Gemma a lot."

Other viewers were reminded of last year's Islander Jake Cornish who was acccused of encouraging the other boys to cheat on their partners while they were in Casa Amor. Fans suggested he was deliberately sabotaging the other boys to ensure he could go on to win the £50,000 prize money with Liberty Poole and the drama exploded when a video clip was played after the girls' return.

@hannaahjane tweeted: "I’m sorry but if you don’t see the likeness between Luca and Jake from last season, you are a FOOL!!! Egging the other boys on to make himself look better!" @aimeejacksx said: "Luca is giving Jake in casa amor." And @Kronixs14 wrote: "Luca reminds me of Jake try to manipulate the guys to do something and then play the victim ahahah."
