Galway GAA star shuts down repeated Irish stereotype on Love Island

Shocker!

Fitzgerald stepped away from the Galway panel in recent weeks to pursue the opportunity, while also putting his teaching career on hold.

Being the only Irishmen on the island, it was only a matter of time before someone butchered an impression of the Galwegian.

Unsurprisingly, it came during the first episode. Fellow islander, Lorenzo started the day off with saying "top of the mornin to ya", Fitzgerald wasn't too pleased.

Lorenzo: "Top of the morning to ya."

Sean: "oh for f**k's sake!"

Ope: "Do people not say that in Ireland? They don't do they?"

Sean: "Nobody says it like."

Lorenzo: "Alright I'll cross that off the list."

Unfortunately, Lorenzo wasn't the only islander to make a mare of themselves impersonating the Irishman.

At the start of the night the couples were matched, Sean ended up with Lola and perhaps foolishly, he asked her to do an impression of his Irish accent. You can probably guess how it went.

Sean: "When is your birthday?"

Lola: "17th of March. St Patrick's Day, oh my god."

Sean: "Damn, you must love the Irish."

Lola: "They're alright."

Sean: "Do my accent there, I want to hear what you say."

Lola: "Alright let me lock in. 'Well I'll be focked, top of the mornin to ya'."

Sean: "That's not even it, that's Northern Ireland."

Lola: "Is that Northern Ireland? I tell people it's from Dublin whenever they ask."

Sean: "It's kind of like 'I'm from Donegal sir'. That is not Dublin."

Horrendous.

You have to get the feeling that this is only the start for the Galway inter-county star.
