Love Island fans praise Deji for standing up for Danica as Billy shares his true feelings

Love Island fans were full of praise for Deji on Tuesday night after he stood up for Danica following another heated challenge in the villa.

After spending a few weeks on the sidelines, Deji is currently trying to win the heart of dancer Danica, who is coupled up with Casa Amor entrant Billy.

With Billy and Danica seemingly going well after they ‘opened the salon to each other’, Billy began to doubt his feelings for Danica after the initial spark burned bright.

During a feisty edition of ‘snog, marry, pie’, Deji hinted that he wasn’t impressed with the effort Billy was putting in with Danica in front of all of the other islanders.

‘Obviously you’ve has a hard time in here. I feel like you deserve 100% because you give 100%,’ he said.

Later on in the night, Billy admitted to Deji, who he didn’t know had already told Danica he liked, and a few of the boys that his head wasn’t fully invested in their pairing.

‘I haven’t felt that click, year I’ve felt a sexual connection. I felt a… attraction like sorta connection, but not the romance. I’m not a d*** but it’s come off like I’m a d*** and I don’t like it,’ he admitted.

Rather than biting his tongue, the accounts management worker told Billy that he was in the wrong for how he treated Danica.

‘You are a little bit. A smidge. You said to her she ticked all your f***ing boxes now you’re telling her pack up the boxes mate,’ he claimed.

Viewers were quick to flock to Twitter to commend Deji for standing up for Danica to Billy and putting his heart on the line for everyone’s new favourite potential couple.

Despite camera not capturing their friendship together, Deji poured his heart to Danica on Monday evening on the terrace, only to be told she was still ‘on the Billy train’.

‘People don’t give you their 100% that you deserve. ‘You give 100% – they give you f**king 10… I want to put that 100% into you. Do you know what I’m saying… You are wifey material. And you’ve been giving wifey energy to people who have been kind of shunning it to the side…

‘I don’t want you to be ifs, buts or maybe, I want you to be 100% alright cool,’ he told her.

Elsewhere on the episode, the islanders were treated to a disco from none other than esteemed DJ Joel Corry. The ‘I Wish’ tune maker got the villa moving for a night everyone there wished would never end.

Sadly the night did have to end and for some islanders so will their Love Island journey. Presenter Laura Whitmore made a rare appearance to let everyone know that the public had once again been voting for their favourite contestants.

With more islanders set to leave the villa for good, Wednesday night promises to be another stellar edition of the dating show.
