Esme Court thinks it's "obvious" to anyone watching 'Love Island' that there's a "great connection" between the pair and she's given the 21-year-old bricklayer her seal of approval.

She told the Sunday People newspaper: “They seem like they’ve got a great connection. I think as people, they seem like they’re having a right laugh.

“It’s all quite light-hearted. It’s obvious there is a massive connection there – a lot of sexual tension. You can see by the way she looks at him she’s quite smitten.”

When asked what she would give them out of ten, Esme added: “It’s got to be a ten. I love them. I love how giggly they are. It’s really nice to see her so happy. She seems to have brought out the best in him as well.

“I think he seems like a kind person. I think he seems genuine. He’s just a really nice guy. I think they’re a great couple, if I’m honest. Time will tell.”

And Liam's sister Niamh also approves of their romance, though she thinks her younger brother needs to spend more time getting to know the 24-year-old beauty.

She said: "Definitely an eight. Definitely high. I can notice a difference since he’s been with Millie. He’s really come out of his shell now.

“To bump that up to a ten, I think they need to have more time for him to ask her more in-depth questions. That’s Liam though, he is chatty but whereas I would ask a lot of questions, he’s not like that.

“He needs to ask her questions about her family and stuff like that.

“I do think they could work as a couple long-term from what I can see. They seem to get on really, really well. He has only had one girlfriend. His ex was really bubbly and Millie seems bubbly.

“He has his wedding song picked already. It’s Ain’t No Mountain High Enough – the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell version. So she’s got to like that. He absolutely loves it.”
