After the entrance of 19-year-old Amber Wise to Casa Amor, Love Island viewers are pleading with producers to raise the minimum age of the competitors.
Amber made her ITV2 dating show debut on Sunday, joining the four bombshells seeking to turn the males’ heads, including returning islander Molly Marsh.
The newbie, the daughter of former England player Dennis Wise, is the youngest singleton to arrive in Majorca this season.
Despite claiming to be ‘independent,’ the graphic design student reveals she always ‘has a guy on the go’ and has her sights set on Montel McKenzie and Sammy Root.
But many are shocked by Amber’s age and have urged Love Island producers to raise the minimum age for candidates.
Voicing their thoughts on social media, one person tweeted: ‘I’m sorry but I think anyone with teen at the end of their age should not be allowed on this show.’
‘The show should have an age limit because how is a 19-year-old allowed on the same show as a 28-year-old?’ asked another.
Love island needs to sort out the age range man wtf you got 19year olds and 29 year olds in the same place? #loveisland

I’m sorry but 20 years-olds should not be on this show. Gemma being 19 during her season was ridiculous. Basically uni students. Kids! What love are you desperately looking for at that small age pls? #LoveIsland

A third added: ‘They need to change the age limit to 22+, what’s a 19 year old doing on a show like this.’
This year’s Casa Amor premiered on Friday, with R&B artist Ne-Yo waving the girls off as they were taken away to the secret villa.
Following an intimate performance for the islanders, the singer led the girls out from the main villa, claiming that he wanted to snap a few photographs with them.
Leading them beyond the front gate, Ne-Yo pointed to their vehicle, which was emblazoned ‘Casa VIPs’ on the side.
‘I have a surprise for you… that car right there,’ he then said, with viewers applauding the ‘Bafta-worthy’ twist on Twitter.
Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
