ITV Love Island: Ekin-Su branded 'icon' and 'everything the show needs' by adoring fans

Love Island contestant Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu recently captured the headlines after a preview for tonight's episode revealed she sneakily hooks up with new boy Jay Younger. While some fans struggle to take to the Turkish actor, other viewers have taken to social media to express their love for the contestant.

The teaser clip showed Ekin-Su crawling on her hands and knees as she approached Jay for a sneaky kiss behind Davide Sanclimenti's back. It comes after Jay, an investment analyst from Scotland, chose her for a lunch date in last night's show.

Ekin-Su, who is currently coupled with Italian bombshell Davide, made her intentions to get to know Jay clear from the start. When he entered the villa, she said: "The tall one that’s 28, he’s so cute. Yeah, I really like him. I’m getting to know him. I don’t give a f**k."

Her actions in the villa to date have certainly earnt Ekin-Su some admirers on social media. A host of viewers have taken to Twitter since last night's episode to express their adoration for the contestant.

@GinaConsult said: "I love Ekin Su guys, she makes me laugh so hard and she doesn't hide anything, watch her go and tell the gals once she and jay (kiss emoji). That's one thing I love about her, she is open and whatever she says behind u, she mostly likely has said it to ur face."

@GeeRobinson96 added: "Ekin Su is actually chaos but I'm so here for it." @odddody agreed: "Ekin Su is an absolute icon."

@SublankoStrikes concluded: "Ekin Su is the best love islander we've had in a minute. She's pure magic."

@darcgeorgina said: "Whoever found Ekin Su deserves a pay rise because I'm obsessed with her." @chlobain put: "Whoever put Ekin Su and Davide in this villa we thank you."

@MariamGalore added: "Ekin Su is everything Love Island needs."

During their date, Ekin-Su and Jay were seen sharing a 'Lady and the Tramp kiss' during a course of spaghetti. Ekin-Su quickly pulled away before they could kiss, although Davide still noticed from the balcony.

Judging by the preview for tonight, she won't be pulling away when they next get close. It has left fans descending into meltdown as they suspect what is coming.

One fan on Twitter wrote: "ekin-su crawling as if she isn't gonna go and tell the girls straight after she kisses Jay #LoveIsland." Another added: "The collective chaos Jay and Ekin-su are going to unleash in the villa… I am preparing #LoveIsland."
