Fans Praise Deji For 'Sticking Up For Danica' As Billy Shares True Feelings

Love Island fans have praised Deji Adeniyi for 'sticking up' for Danica Taylor as her current partner makes his true feelings known.

Danica is currently coupled up with Billy Brown, and this week the pair revealed that they have been intimate with each other.

However, in ITV's first-look preview for tonight's (19 July) episode, Billy suggests he's not fully on board with the relationship. You can watch the preview below:

In the clip, he says: "I haven't felt that click. Yeah I've felt a sexual connection, I've felt an attractive sort of connection, but not the romance.

"I'm not a d**k, but it's come across like I'm a d**k and I don't like it."

At this point, Deji interjects to say, "You are a little bit," before explaining, "You said to her she ticked all your f**king boxes, now you're telling her to pack up the boxes, mate."

When Billy suggests that she 'was ticking his boxes' before, Deji pulls a face that suggests he's not there for it.

Viewers at home were impressed with the Islander's reaction, with one writing: "Gowan Deji tell him how it is, only decent lad in there right now."

Another wrote: "Nah thanks Deji for sticking up for Danica because why are these men using her like this."

While a third added: "Deji DRAGGING Billy. I’m here for it, it’s been obvious that he was leading Danica on. He never liked her it was purely sexual."

Anyone who's been keeping up to date with the villa will know that Deji recently told Danica that he's into her, saying that 'people don’t give you their 100% that you deserve'.

While she admitted it's something that has 'crossed my mind', she made it clear she's leaning more towards Billy at the moment.

But many are hoping to see Deji couple up with Danica and for them both to find the connection they've been striving for.

"If Danica and Deji couple up can we all just agree to let them win," wrote one on Twitter, while another said, "Danica and Deji could win it if they couple up."

A third added (all in caps): "DANICA AND DEJI ARE THE MOST UNDERRATED PEOPLE IN THE VILLA THEY NEED TO GET TOGETHER."

Whether or not this Billy controversy will help fuel the relationship people are hoping to see happen is yet to be seen - let's hope we find out more tonight.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVHub.
