Love Island fans 'screaming' over Ekin-Su's 'new best friend'

Love Island fans were left "screaming" as two of the villa's contestants formed an unlikely bond during Friday's episode.

The week's fifth instalment of the popular ITV2 dating show saw Tasha and Andrew, along with Summer and Deji, saved from being eliminated. But despite being saved, Tasha was not happy.

She said she had had her "confidence knocked" after being in the bottom three twice now.

She cried on the daybed as other islanders comforted her. But not everyone was kind towards her. Ekin-Su, Luca, Dami and others gathered in the kitchen and began to gossip.

Ekin-Su said: "I don't know why she's upset, they've just become boyfriend and girlfriend. If me and Davide were boyfriend and girlfriend ". Luca agreed, saying: "She should be elated".

When Luca then went over to her and asked why she was upset, Tasha asked why he was "coming for her like that". But fans watching at home were more concerned with Ekin-Su and Luca's budding new, albeit gossip-based, friendship.

Taking to Twitter, Toyah said: "Ekin and Luca are the dynamic duo that I always enjoy watching". lipglossy0 said: "Ekin-Su and Luca are howling facts", while Violet said: "Luca and Ekin love that duo", and Sarah said: "Screaminggg at how Luca is Ekin-Su's new best friend after the shade he threw at her".

Andrew said: "I love how Ekin and Luca are best buddies when it comes to gossiping about islanders". Jode said: "The Luca and Ekin duo is something I have time for".
