Love Island saw one of its most explosive rows in the villa on Monday night as Gemma Owen labelled Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu a “d***head” for spreading rumours about her relationship with Luca Bish.
A furious Gemma, 19, slammed the Turkish actress, 27, after she passed on information about her feelings which they had agreed to keep secret.
The drama kicked off when Dami Hope shared his apparent party trick with a group of the islanders and said he could read Gemma’s mind about where her head is at in the villa.
Sitting with Ekin-Su and Indiyah Pollack, he said to Gemma: “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 someone really came in that was 100% you.
“I feel like that is where the confusion would probably come for you because we’re not here to play games. I feel like you’re still open in a sense, probably more open than Luca.”
Gemma then admitted: “Yeah, that was quite impressive. I don’t think you’re that far wrong.”
After Dami had asked for the conversation to stay private, Ekin-Su was quick to stand up from the daybed and walk over to Paige Thorne and Jacques O’Neill to relay the juicy information.
Ekin-Su said she had been surprised Gemma acknowledged her head could be turned if someone who was “100%” her walked into the villa, leaving Luca’s best friend Jacques open-mouthed.
Ekin-Su said: “That's not a bad thing. I was a bit surprised that she admitted it.”
Jacques then implied he would spill the beans to Luca, saying: “I'm going to go have his back. He's going to be hurt. It's going to rattle him big time, because he's smitten.”
In the Beach Hut confessional booth he added: “You could bring anyone in for him and he's pretty set on Gem.”
As Paige, Indiyah and Gemma sat by the pool, Paige then relayed to Gemma what Ekin-Su had shared, saying Ekin-Su had said: “If another guy came in that was your type, your head would turn.”
Gemma was left open-mouthed, standing up and saying: “I'm not having that,” before she walked over to speak with Dami.
Explaining the situation, she said: “Is that a f***ing joke. When did that ever come out of my mouth?”
In the villa kitchen, Luca twigged something was unfolding, but when he approached Gemma and asked what the drama was over and whether it was related to him, she brushed him off in search of Ekin-Su.
Jacques finally broke the news to Luca beside the firepit, leaving him looking downcast in the Beach Hut as he said: “Little things like this, if she has said that, will play on my mind.
“But apparently she might not have said it. I'm annoyed because she hasn't even had a chat with me about it and I'm the one person it's going to affect and hurt.”
Gemma and Dami then confronted Ekin-Su, raging: “You have started this, you’ve made drama over nothing!”
She continued: “You had no right to say that and knew that was going to cause s***.”
Ekin-Su insisted the situation was “not a big deal”, but Gemma did not look ready to quickly forgive her.
Dami said: "Obviously it's not going to be a nice thing for Luca to hear at all. Gemma could have her head turned."
Gemma snapped: "It wasn't even said like that - or meant like that,” before Ekin-Su winded her up further, saying: "Then relax."
Gemma replied: "You can't drop a bomb and then tell me to f***ing relax. I think that's d***head behaviour.
"Maybe you should keep your nose out of other people's business and shut up."
Gemma finished before walking off saying: “It's not affecting me. It's just people should concentrate on their own drama and if your relationship's perfect you can start giving me advice, but until then keep your fucking nose out of it.”
