'The perfect balance of honesty and sass... and of course we can't forget about your gorgeous ass.

'You made my Love Island journey one to remember, and it's okay if we aren't the first couple to cross the line, because I'm really into you Amber Rose Gill, and I can't wait for you to teach me how to control the whine."
