Love Island viewers were unimpressed by Nathalia Campos' reference to Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu during a tour of the villa's roof terrace by Davide Sanclimenti on last night's show.
The latest episode of the ITV2 show saw Nathalia, 23, enter the villa alongside Jamie Allen, 27, Reece Ford, 23, and Lacey Edwards, 25 - less than two weeks before the series' final.
Their arrivals are likely to have ruffled some feathers among the other islanders, with Ekin-Su, 27, having seemed concerned about losing Davide, 27, to one of the new 'bombshells.'
Her anxiety was evident when Davide took Nathalia and Lacey for a tour of the villa shortly after their introductions, with it including him showing off the roof terrace to them.
As they entered the terrace, Nathalia referenced scenes of Ekin-Su crawling on the floor during her secret meetings with Jay Younger, 28, behind Davide's back earlier in the series.
Nathalia teased to Davide last night: "Is it safe to enter? Should I crawl down here? I guess a lot of crawling happens. [...] Sorry, I'm not doing any crawling, that was a joke."
And whilst Davide didn't appear to understand the reference - as he hasn't seen the scenes of Ekin-Su crawling - viewers got it and many weren't impressed with Nathalia.
"Nathalia, don't shade our queen Ekin for validation from Davide, we will vote you out just as fast as you came in," tweeted one viewer following the islander's tour of the villa.
Another said: "Don't be coming for our Ekin like that." A third wrote: "Mocking Ekin-Su straight away. Leave Davide and Ekin-Su alone." Another said: "Should you just f*** off hun?"
"Stop with the Ekin-Su shade," encouraged another viewer in response to Nathalia's remarks. A sixth said: "Crawl right back out of that villa and kiss Ekin's feet on the way out."

"Nathalia you weren't funny," said one viewer, whilst another warned against going after Ekin-Su is the "public favourite" Ekin-Su. Another said: "How about you crawl the f*** out of the villa?"
Others described Nathalia's remarks as "cringe," "shady" and "a bit uncalled for," with another viewer tweeting in response to the scene: "Don't try beat the original babe."
Although a number of viewers were unimpressed by Nathalia's comments, there were some who found it amusing, with one writing in their response: "Ok, that's funny."
"Oh f***. She did NOT just mention the crawl," said one viewer alongside laughing emojis. There were some other fans who also wrote about the scene with laughing emojis.
Some viewers felt it wasn't shade to reference Ekin-Su's terrace scene, with one fan saying after Nathalia's reference: "That is one of the most viral moments of this season."
"Stay referencing Ekin Su and that terrace. Ekin's crawl is truly one of the most iconic #LoveIsland moments of all time," commented another viewer about the recent reference.
