Love Island star Davide's team make brutal Ekin-Su dig prompting her family to hit back

The 'team' running Davide Sanclimenti 's social media whilst he's on Love Island made a brutal swipe at Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu, prompting her loved ones to issue a response.

The two islanders, both 27, are coupled up on the ITV2 dating series but things haven't been going smoothly, with her complaining recently that he doesn't make an effort.

She was seen upset this week over him not bringing her a coffee in the morning, with their relationship further tested by the arrival of Jacques O'Neill, 23, and Jay Younger, 28.

Ekin-Su seemed interested in Jacques after he entered the villa, with the pair flirting by the firepit, and a preview for tonight teases even more sparks between her and Jay.

And in response to some of her behaviour, the team running Davide's account on Instagram took aim at her last night - with them suggesting that she isn't genuine or 'lady-like.'

They wrote in a post on the platform: "How about you make your own coffee. Over the past few days we all had to tolerate a desperate attempt to steal the show."

The post issued by his loved ones continued: "Like Davide said 'something is not quite right' and we really hope he figures out what is really going on and takes action."

They said he has "got a big heart and deserves someone genuine," teasing it may be Paige Thorne, 24. They said "someone on the same Pa(i)ge," with a winking emoji.

The post then quoted Ekin-Su during a conversation with Jacques in a recent episode, in which she said: "I'd rather be [in bed] with you." Davide's team didn't seem impressed.

Seemingly responding to such, they wrote: "If you want to be treated like a lady, act like one first." They concluded the social media post by thanking fans for their support.

The post appears to have been uploaded prior to Ekin-Su and Jay going on a date, and the preview for tonight. It seems to be referencing scenes from previous episodes.

The post caught the attention of those running Ekin-Su's account on the platform, who shared it on her Instagram Story alongside a response to the criticism in the statement.

It read: "Just wanted to make sure we understand the roles in handling [accounts]. We're supposed to be neutral and little digs to other cast members should not be tolerated."

They suggested that some behaviour on the show has been "designed for audiences entertainment" and shouldn't attract hate. Adding instead: "Just lessons to be learnt."

Love Island continues tonight on ITV2 and ITV Hub from 9pm. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox. You can catch up on episodes through ITV Hub too.
