Dennis Wise slams Love Island’s Sammy for ‘using’ daughter Amber in the villa
CHELSEA legend Dennis Wise’s daughter Amber has had a rough ride in the Love Island villa – and he’s not happy.
In his only interview about Amber joining the show, the footy hardman, 56, has slammed Sammy Root for “using” his girl after the lad toyed with her feelings in an explosive recoupling.
Dennis, who was part of Wimbledon’s boisterous Crazy Gang in the 1980s, told The Sun: “Amber’s never brought a boyfriend home so I’ve not had to bring out the Crazy Gang side just yet…
“But let’s just say Sammy wouldn’t be welcome at home at this present time.
“If I’m being honest, he’s not The One. Amber felt used I think and it’s disappointing to see as a father.
“There’s things I’ve looked at and gone ‘jesus!’ but I’m doing alright at the moment.
“I am protective of her – I think all fathers are of their daughters, that’s just the way it is.
“I saw Amber made a comment about ‘having lots of boys on the go’ and I was like – I’ve not seen that!”
Amber, 19, joined the ITV2 dating show last week as part of its Casa Amor relationship test and immediately made a splash with the lusty lads of the villa.
Just hours after first strutting in wearing a skimpy red bikini, she took part in a Raunchy Races game where she had to act out sex positions and passionately snog other Islanders.
Speaking exclusively, Dennis said: “Oh my god. The ten-second kiss was fine and then they did the sex positions and I thought ‘Oh my God’. I walked away from that one.
“We told her ‘please don’t have sex, your nan, granddad and friends are watching’.
“She definitely understands that part of it.
“With Sammy I just think to myself, be careful, Amber, and be smart about it.
“Only time will tell but she’s held herself well and hopefully it continues like that.”
Much has been made of Amber’s age, with viewers threatening to complain to regulator Ofcom over whether she’s emotionally prepared for the challenge of the show.
Others have pointed out that some men involved are some six years older than her.
But Dennis is quick to retort that Amber is actually older than football pal Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma was when she was cast last summer.
Dennis said: “If I didn’t think she was old enough to cope, honestly, I’d have told her not to go in.
“Some people forget that Gemma is actually three months younger than Amber.
“Amber looks younger face-wise and the way that she is, but Amber has got her own mind.
“She’s a strong girl, she’s not silly and if I didn’t feel that she could deal with it, we would’ve stopped it.”
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2
