Love Island’s Sophie Piper and Mike Boateng spark rumours of secret romance as unseen photo emerges

Sophie Piper has sparked rumours of a romance with her Love Island co-star Mike Boateng as an unseen snap of the pair in the villa has emerged.

In the image, taken on 24 year old Mike's villa phone, Sophie sits on the former police officer's lap and rests her head on his.

As Mike looks into the camera with his mouth wide open, Rochelle Humes' sister keeps her eyes closed, also throwing her mouth wide.

The pair are both currently coupled up with different islanders, but the photograph has emerged as the first recoupling of the series looms.

Mike is currently coupled up with Jess Gale, who stole him from Leanne Amaning in a shock twist that saw her enter the villa with her twin sister, Eve, hours after the islanders had happily selected their partners.

However, Mike has made it very clearly that he has feelings for Leanne, moving himself from Jess' bed and into The Dog House, where customer service advisor Leanne has joined him.

Sophie is coupled up with Connor Durman, but fans have begged her to dump the coffee bean salesman after branding his behaviour as "controlling."

The medical PA was selected to go on a date with new boy Connagh Howard on Thursday night's episode, with viewers slamming Connor's "insecure" reaction.

Sophie received a text message, reading: "Sophie, Connagh has picked you for his first date. Please get ready to leave the villa."

Connor was then asked: "How are you feeling, Connor," to which he sarcastically replied: "Yeah, really happy actually."

As he waited for Sophie to come back from their date, he explained he was a little stressed by the situation, saying: "Only because, it'll just be interesting to see what they're like. I did come across a bit childish."

Former X Factor star Jake Quickenden, who's been openly posting his opinions on this year's contestants, was first to share a meme showing Sophie and Connagh on their date, while a photoshopped Connor creepily watches them from the bushes.
