Love Island fans are convinced there is an ongoing feud in the villa. Only a few weeks ago viewers of the ITV2 dating show's Unseen Bits were pleased when it appeared Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Gemma Owen's friendship was blossoming after a frosty start earlier in the series when Ekin entered as a bombshell and set her sights on the teen's then partner Davide Sanclimenti.
However, fans couldn't help but notice Gemma's response to Ekin-Su's romantic final date with Davide as she returned to fill the girls in on the epic trip away from the villa.
The Turkish actress, 27, was brought to tears during Thursday evening’s episode of the hit ITV2 dating show, as Alfie Boe serenaded her and her Italian partner Davide. The English tenor and actor, who previously performed for The Queen during her Diamond Jubilee celebrations, sang for the couple after they were whisked off on a night-time date to a romantic colosseum-style setting.

Accompanied by a guitarist, Alfie, 48, sang as the couple entered the venue which was lit with dozens of lanterns, and set with a private dining table. "It’s a great pleasure to perform for you tonight, have a wonderful night and enjoy your date," he told them. Following the brief performance, Ekin-Su and Davide shared their feelings for one another.
An almost speechless Ekin-Su said: “It feels like I’m in a dream." Later on, when she debriefed the girls on what happened during the date, Ekin-Su said: "As the night progressed, the music came on again and he literally took me and told me he loved me."
While this revelation sparked a chorus of ‘aws’ from the girls, with one describing it as 'cute', an emotional Ekin-Su fell into Indiyah Polack's arms with a hand covering her mouth. As she did, Gemma quipped: "Oh she’s off again."
And while it appeared to be an innocent comment, Love Island fans weren't impressed by the response of the 19-year-old islander, who is the daughter of former islander Michael Owen. Flocking to social media, @rachieA21 tweeted: "Why is Gemma so sour with ekin-su? Just be happy for her! #LoveIsland."
@jewl_____ said: "I’m actually tired of Gemma 'she’s off again'. BE HAPPY MAN #LoveIsland." @dnachambie commented: "Gemma: 'oh she’s off again' let her cry omg she’s overwhelmed with happiness. shes becomes so salty when ekin talks about her relationship #loveisland." @acemeaa_x fumed: "'Oh she’s off again' GEMMA U ARE GETTING ON MY LAST NERVE #LoveIsland." @lea_267 asked: "Why does Gemma roll her eyes every time Ekin Su is saying she's happy with Davide?"
It comes after Wednesday night's episode (July 27) when the girls headed out for 'mum brunch' during the baby challenge and discussed the boys they were partnered with around the table. In one scene, Ekin, 27, said: "To see [Davide] as a dad. Please God, just give me some babies now.”
As Ekin gushed over Davide, Gemma could be seen at the end of the table rolling her eyes and looking over at Paige Thorne.
