Dami Hope: Who is the Love Island 2022 contestant set to join ITV2 series and what does he do?

Love Island 2022 is here with the ITV2 show returning on Monday (6 June).

The reality series welcomed a new crop of contestants who are hoping to find romance in the Spanish villa.

One such islander is 26-year-old senior microbiologist Dami Hope, who is from Dublin.

Speaking about his decision to join the show, Dami said: “This year I was kind of being more open to new things and I think actually that’s why I put myself out there to get some new experiences. Love Island is a different experience.”

He acknowleged that “it might not go well with some” of the girls he talks to, but said he hopes it will be a “fun experience”.

Dami, who described himself as “passionate”, added that he will ”try not to cause trouble” in the villa.

Speaking about a prospective partner, he said: “If they had something they wanted to do or something they were passionate about, I’d make sure that, even if it’s something I’m not talented at, I’d get talented at it just so it helps them. I’m really good at being in a team and actually looking after each other.”
