What has David said about his dating history and Love Island?
Before heading into the villa David shared a hilarious dating story about a girl who went through his following list on the ‘gram on their first date.
He recalled: “I met someone through an app, she was messaging me all the time. When I met her, she said, ‘I’ve been down your social media followers, you follow a lot of girls. Do you know all of these girls? If I was in a relationship with someone I wouldn’t want them following that many girls.’ I said to her, ‘This is a bit too much for me.’”
On why he’s single and looking for romance in the villa, David explained: “I’m very picky – I haven’t met the right one yet. The person you’re going to meet is never going to be perfect, but I’ve got my standards, yeah.”
