Love Island star Dami Hope has been slammed for appearing to use his phone to film a video while driving.
The 27-year-old Irish hunk shot to fame on series eight of the hit ITV2 dating show in 2022 – alongside his beau Indiyah Polack.
However, Dami has come under fire after footage of him driving apparently showed him taking both hands of the steering wheel.

In the video he shared with his 776k followers, Dami can be seen steering the wheel of his plush Mercedes.
Then later on in the clip, captioned: “Summer soon land,” Dami filmed himself in his rear view mirror, before showing off the sunshine through his sunroof.

However, Dami’s has since been called out by road safety campaigners who branded his actions as “stupid.”
John Scruby, trustee of UK road charity CADD and SCARD blasted the reality star and told The Sun: “This seems to be yet another example if so-called ‘celebrities’ thinking they are above the law.
“And just how stupid are they to not only break the basic laws in traffic legislation, but to film themselves doing it?”
The expert went on: “I sincerely hope that the police in whatever area covers this incident take action and pursue a conviction for the behaviour of this individual.”
Daily Star has contacted Dami’s reps for comment.

Dami found fame alongside his girlfriend Indiyah on Love Island last year.
The two faced plenty of drama in the villa, and coined several iconic lines including “it is what it is” and “may the best heartbreaker win.”
Since leaving the show in August, the pair have continued to put up a loved-up display and seem to be going from strength to strength.
While recently, it was revealed Indiyah will be taking part in ITV’s Cooking With The Stars.

Joining Indiyah, is Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon, Gavin and Stacey legend Joanna Page, former prof boxer Chris Eubank as well as plenty more famous faces.
The cooking show, hosted by Emma Willis and Tom Allen, will be returning later this year and sees the celebs paired with a professional chef, who will act as their Mentor during their time in the kitchen.
