'too forced'
Love Island fans convinced Dami was TOLD to ‘set up’ tension between Ekin-Su and Davide by producers
LOVE Island fans are convinced Dami Hope was told by bosses to meddle with Davide Sanclimente and Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu's relationship as four new bombshells arrived.
Viewers of the ITV2 matchmaking series saw two bombshell boys - Jamie and Reece - and two girls - Lacey and Nathalia - make an explosive entrance to the main villa on Wednesday.

Yet telly fans were left stunned when Davide was encouraged by Dami to invite the new stars on a tour of the Majorcan villa - leaving his partner Ekin Su sitting alone as she watched on, looking upset.
With Davide and Ekin attempting to solidify their relationship - and Dami all too aware of that - Love Island fans were adamant he had been told to meddle.
Many took to to share their views, with one quizzing: "Why did Dami specifically pick Davide and not Adam or Deji? Most likely because the producers sees a potential drama with the both Ekin Su & Davide."
Another wrote: "Yes definitely it seemed too forced."

A third then agreed: "Definitely. They wanted to set up that terrace thing, some flirting and Ekin getting nervous. It would’ve been rude of Davide to say no, and others could’ve joined, but overall it’s not that deep."
One Love Island fan added: "Exactly! This is intentional from the producers. People will still hate on Dami because he is already on shaky ground. Majority of the audience don't think of the show like we do in this sub, and they don't consider producer interference.
"For the majority, Dami asked Davide to give them a tour and he will be attacked for it especially because he has been the Villain of the show for the last week."
A fan then surmised: "It was so staged and Ekin's reaction seems acted too. I think they are staging a bit of drama to keep us engaged for the last week.

"Viewership tends to drop off towards the end."
It comes after Dami, 26, was slammed as a "snake" by furious fans by pulling the sneaky move when the bombshells arrived.
Ekin-Su was stunned by his suggestion and single boy Deji Adeniyi was also baffled that Dami didn't ask him to show the girl around - considering he is the only boy not in a couple.
Viewers took to Twitter to complain after he caused the potentially huge relationship trouble.
Two boys - Jamie and Reece - and two girls - Lacey and Nathalia - made their debut in the Love Island villa last night, with the girls all declaring they fancied Davide.

"But then I was like, 'I'm not Brazilian and I'm not Lacey but I'm a Turkish delight'."
