ITV Love Island fans think they spotted 'real paid actor' in the villa during furious Ekin-Su and Gemma row

The Love Island villa descended into chaos as Gemma Owen angrily clashed with Ekin-Su Culculoglu in Monday night's episode (June 27). Gemma had it out with Ekin-Su after she spread gossip about her fellow contestant on Love Island.

The row began when Dami Hope attempted to read Gemma's mind about her relationship with fishmonger Luca Bish, and he said her head could be turned in the famous villa. Watched by Ekin-Su he told her: "You're happy with Luca right now. I feel like it would take a lot for your head to turn but there is a small chance that it probably could if something really came in that was 100 per cent you and had the chat of Luca."

He added: "I feel like that is where the confusion would probably come for you." And Gemma admitted: "Yeah, that was quite impressive. I don't think you're that far wrong."

Dami said the chat should stay between him, Gemma and Ekin-Su and he pleaded: "Whatever we've read here please just leave it here." But Ekin-Su went straight over to tell Paige Thorne and Jacques O'Neill, who then told Luca what Gemma had said to 'have his back.'

When word got back to dressage rider Gemma that the story was going around the villa she blasted Turkish actress Ekin-Su. "You've made drama over nothing which has actually got f*** all to do with you," she fumed.

"You hung on to one little bit that you knew was going to cause the most drama and run with it. I think that's d******* behavour." But Ekin-Su replied: "Not really."

As Ekin-Su protested she had done nothing wrong, fans of the ITV2 reality show picked out who they thought was the 'stirrer' behind the row.

@kemileon tweeted: "Jacques needs to be voted out expeditiously pls." @spirtuality777 wrote: "Jacques instigated that whole thing." And @mmmilliebrown wrote: "NAH NOT JACQUES STIRRING."

But Jacques was accused of stirring (ITV)

@KelleSWriter blasted: "Of course Jacques would be the one to tell him. Pot stirrer." And @Jada_D_N wrote: "This is an example of men being chatty patties by the way. Jacques is thriving in this chaos."

@faketonichilds wondered: "Ekin has an earpiece in and the producers told her to get up and go tell Jacques what Dami and Gemma said." But @Yemicita_mused about the situation: "Everyone thinks Ekin-Su is being paid by ITV but the real paid actor in the villa is Jacques…"

As he absorbed the news Luca told Ekin-Su: "You've caused this situation, I'm blaming you." And the showdown left things frosty between Luca and Gemma.

The 19-year-old explained that if someone came in the villa who she had a better connection with than with Luca, she would get to know them, but it was unlikely. However Luca, 23, told her: "I want a future with you. I'm obsessed wth you I'm not going to lie."
