Irish Love Island star opens up about 'insane' requests for sex tapes from fans

Irish Love Island star Dami Hope has opened up about fans' "insane" requests for sex tapes from him and his partner Indiyah Polak.

The pair are one of the few surviving couples from this year's series after they overcame several challenges within the villa.

Since leaving the show, the two have come from strength to strength and even plan on moving in together in the near future.

Speaking on the Bumble podcast with Tolly T, they were asked if they have received any strange requests from fans since their rise to fame.

Wexford native Dami answered: "What do you mean?"

Tolly then clarified: "Tolly clarified: "Just like fans wanting you guys to be weird together."

Dami then revealed: "What like sex tapes? They ask for our sex tapes a lot. They said they would pay."

Indiyah confirmed this, saying: "That's the strangest."

Tolly said: "That's insane."

Indiyah then said: "Yeah, that is quite crazy."

Dami has previously opened up on learning to deal with bullying and trolling long before Love Island, as he overcame racism when he was a child growing up in Ireland.

The 26-year-old microbiologist turned reality TV star, who grew up in New Ross. Co Wexford said he had to face adversity in the past.

He told Irish Daily Mirror: "I've been there before Love Island. When I was growing up in New Ross, there weren't many black people there, so I kind of racism and all of that.

"But I dealt with all my bullies, so they don't bully me anymore or any of my siblings either."

Dami said he feels there has been a huge change in Ireland in recent years, adding: "Definitely everybody is kind of more together now like there is less racism, and I genuinely feel positive about Ireland. If it was racist, I wouldn't be back."

And he said he could even feel the Irish support radiate through when he was in the Spanish villa.

"The support through the show was amazing. I can genuinely feel the support even when I was in there. Even though you guys couldn't vote, I feel like Ireland was backing me. I don't know how, but I did. And I appreciate it."
