THE boyfriend of Love Island winner Dani Dyer was yesterday ordered to pay almost £55,000 after he scammed two elderly men out of £34,000 – and will start paying in bling he owns.

Sammy Kimmence, who was jailed for 42 months after posing as a financial investor, will start paying the debt by handing over £5,099-worth of valuables including a £699 personal number plate and two Louis Vuitton monochrome bags

A judge also ordered the 25-year-old to hand over jewellery and designer trainers and clothing, with three pairs of valuable trainers making up the 'vast bulk' of the sum.

Kimmence duped Havant pensioner Peter Martin, 91, and Peter Haynes, 81, by persuading the vulnerable pensioners to let him to invest their money for them and then splashed out on expensive restaurant­s, hotels and clothes.

He will now have to pay Mr Martin £3,926 - which will go to his estate as he has passed away – and Mr Hayne £1,173 within the next three months.

The rest will be paid as soon as he earns money once he is released from prison.

Portsmouth Crown Court heard the total figure, £54,859.22, amounted to how much Kimmence had made from conning the two men.

The sum was split into three parts – £35,896.46 for the five charges, £13,863.26 of cash deposited in his Lloyds and Santander account and £5,099 of assets in his house.

Prosecutor Mike Mason told the hearing: ‘It is made up of a personalis­ed numberplat­e, worth £699, and jewellery and clothing, making it up to £5,099.’

Judge Timothy Mousley QC added: ‘It is some shoes – the vast bulk are three pairs of trainers.’

Kimmence was ordered to hand over three pairs of designer trainers – a pair of Dior B22 sneakers, costing £825; a pair of Louis Vuitton Monogram runners costing £725; and Nike Jordan 'Black Cat' shoes costing £600.

His number plate read 'KM11SAM'.

He also had to hand over his Louis Vuitton monogram hoodie which cost £1,250 and a £1,000 Cartier love ring.

Kimmence stood motionless in the dock, only speaking to say his name. He wore a mask and a navy blue jumper and dark tracksuit bottoms.
