Amber Gill's mum hopes she doesn't go back to Michael Griffiths

'Love Island' star Amber Gill's own mum Vanessa hopes her daughter doesn't get back together with Michael Griffiths after Joanna Chimonides' exit from the villa.

Amber Gill's mother hopes she doesn't get back together with Michael Griffiths.

The 'Love Island' star's mum Vanessa suggested her daughter "will realise" the 27-year-old firefighter - who is single again after being coupled up Joanna Chimonides, before her exit this week - no longer has feelings for her, and she is disappointed with how he's been "playing a little bit of a game" in the villa.

Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning', she said: "I think Amber will realise that now. I don't think she'll go back with him, I hope she doesn't.

"Because of the whole way I think he's played it. He hasn't been upfront with her. He's been a little bit holding himself back, I don't know whether he's playing a little bit of a game.

"But I think he should've been honest with her when she opened up her feelings to him when they went to that night out."

While Michael claims to still have feelings for Joanna, Amber's best friend Martin suggested if this was true he should have left the villa when she did on Monday.

He added: "If he [Michael] really had those feelings for Joanna, he would've just walked the other night. And I just thought 'Why are you staying?' "

Martin also joined viewers in backing Amber and Ovie Soko to win the show as friends.

He explained: "I think they both could be the first-ever friendship winners on 'Love Island'. He's lovely.

"When her and Michael started off, they started off as friends. It grew and it progressed and it was natural and that's why I think the public connected with them.

"I think she's got such a brotherly connection with him [Ovie]."
