Love Island review: In the battle of Ekin-Su v the girls, it’s hard to pick sides

ITV

Two weeks into the Love Island villa and the same islanders have been getting all the airtime: your Gemmas, your Lucas, your Ekin-Sus. But in the brief snippets in between, we’ve pieced together an Indiyah/Ikenna/Dami/Amber entanglement. When you pair the fact that Indiyah and Ikenna are going their separate ways with Dami’s recent admission that he’s way more interested in Indiyah than her bestie Amber (AKA the girl he’s actually partnered up with), it looks like trouble’s on the horizon.

The episode picks up following Dami’s revelation, with Ekin-Su ready to pounce. After a tense exchange between Ekin-Su and Amber, Jay begins – to use an underrated Peep Show quote – to wheedle wheedle, pry and needle. “I’m sensing friction between you and Amber,” he tells Ekin-Su (ya think?!), before suggesting that Paige doesn’t like her much either. Ekin-Su, qu’elle surprise, is having none of it. She confronts Amber and the other female islanders move in – partly to diffuse the situation, partly to get all the goss. When Ekin-Su sarcastically snaps, “Yeah, ‘cos you’re really secure in your relationship,” Amber looks baffled.
