Davide and Ekin-Su are, of course, totally oblivious to the support they have outside the villa, but they did their chances no harm at all when they officially became an item on Sunday's show, with Davide making Ekin tiramisu, with the plate featuring a romantic message written in Italian.
There were whoops and cheers from the other Islanders as Davide made the gesture but Gemma didn't seem impressed with the way in which it was done. After Luca pointed out there were now three exclusive couples in the villa, Ekin-Su told him: "You're technically... you've always been exclusive. You don't even need to say it, it's really obvious, you just need to meet the parents."
Noticing Gemma looking far from happy, Luca told her she'd 'get the question one day, adding: "I'm glad Ekin's told me we're basically exclusive, do you know what I mean? It's given me clarity," to which Gemma responded: "Shut up!"
She then remarked: ""I know, but to be fair though, we didn't do something like that for people to know that we are exclusive and I'd prefer it to be that way."
And while she accused Luca of being 'bitter,' it was Gemma who prompted that accusation from plenty of people watching at home.
One tweeted: "I swear Gemma and Luca are so bitter and jealous of Ekin Su and Davide. Not everything has to be a competition. Just be happy for other," with another reacting: "Why is gemma always so bitter when it comes fo ekin su? Its getting weird."
A third joked: "Ofc Gemma is bitter, Ekin is basically living an italian bridgerton rn and she got Joe from You trailing her every move."
