Love Island champion Amber Davies has revealed England footballer Jesse Lingard has messaged her on social media.

Davies admitted Lingard, who scored against Panama during Sunday’s World Cup group match, 'slid into her DMs'.

Davies made the confession on the Capital Breakfast show after she recoiled in her chair after being shown a picture of the England midfielder.

Intrigued by her response, host Roman Kemp said: “These names were completely random that we picked out but you just gave me a real big face.”

Davies replied: “I think he might have slipped into my DMs.”

A shocked Kemp asked: "Hang on, Jesse Lingard slid into the DMs before? So he’s messaged you on Instagram before.”

Davies said she was “not confirming” as a panicked Olivia Attwood, who was also on the show, said confirming the story could result in England performing badly in the World Cup.

“He might have a girlfriend and she’ll ring him and upset him and it will ruin the World Cup and it will be our fault,” she said.

Kemp also flashed up an image of Lingard’s team mate Ruben Loftus-Cheek and challenged her to send him a DM, reading: “Harry [Kane] may have stolen your goal, but you stole my heart.”

In another shocker, Attwood spied that Davies had already been in contact with Loftus-Cheek, and shouted: “They’ve already messaged!”

Davies previously dated Kem Cetinay who she won last year’s series of Love Island with.

He recently enjoyed a date with Kendall Rae-Knight after she was dumped from this year’s series of the hit reality TV show.

The Capital Breakfast Show is on weekdays from 6am
