Love Island fans are convinced that contestants Paige Thorne and Dami Hope are into each other after spotting them “flirting” in the villa.
Friday night’s episode saw Irish microbiologist Dami comfort the Welsh paramedic after partner Jacques O’Neill cheated on her in Casa Amor.
Paige was left in tears after it emerged Jacques had kissed new girl Cheyanne Kerr behind her back, while she had stayed loyal.
In the catch up chat, Dami also appeared to jump on top of Paige in a flirty way as he gave her a hug at the end of their conversation.
And when the girls had to do a sexy dance for the boys last week, it was Paige who got Dami’s heart racing the most.

Taking to Twitter, Love Island viewers seemed to have the opinion that the feeling between the ‘besties’ is mutual – and suggested they could become a new couple.
One fan wrote: “Dami and Paige are flirting...?” while another commented: "Can we talk about how Dami is literally so obsessed with Paige it’s embarrassing...#LoveIsland."
“Dami wants Paige soooo bad,” said a third, while a fourth chimed in: “Paige is 100% into Dami #LoveIsland."
Another fan agreed, saying: “If Paige tried to kiss Dami he would kiss her back. He has such a crush on her.”
While a sixth added: “Dami & Paige would hook up if given the chance to! Amber even said that Dami admitted to sleeping with his female “besties” #LoveIsland.”
But fans were quick to point out that Paige may rethink her friendship with Dami when she realises he encouraged Jacques to cheat on her, as he did on Indiyah.
“Paige’s heart is going to be shattered after movie night... we know she’s gonna be shown the Jacques stuff but she’s going to be shown Dami egging Jacques on as well and Dami is her best friend! Eurgh feel bad for her #LoveIsland,” one fan tweeted.
“It’s cringe watching Paige confide in Dami like Dami wasn’t the ring leader #LoveIsland,” another wrote.
“Why’s Paige going to Dami for comfort someone needs to tell her he’s the one who egged Jacques on the whole time,” said a third.
Others blasted Paige for having double standards when it comes to Jacques and Dami.
One social media user commented: “Nah I actually don’t feel sorry for Paige anymore cos she was laughing with Dami about Indiyah... Paige the exact same thing happened to you and you cried.”
Another said: “The thing is I really did like Paige but her laughing after Dami told her what he did meanwhile she was boohoo crying when Jacques did it to her is giving real pick me vibes #LoveIsland.”
Paige, 24, learnt of 23-year-old rugby player Jacques’ behaviour shortly after he chose to stay in a couple with her.
That was when Cheyanne revealed her surprise Jacques hadn’t picked to recouple with her.
She told host Laura Whitmore: “I thought I had a connection with someone... I suppose my version of a test was different to someone else’s.”
After finding out Jacques and Cheyanne had kissed, a hurt Paige asked him: "What the f*** were you doing?"
Attempting to justify his actions, Jacques told Paige: “I wanted to see if something could be better... but it wasn’t.
“One night we had a good chat and we kissed... after that I got in bed and we had another kiss.”
Asking for forgiveness from Paige, he said: “If you can’t accept that then I understand, if that takes a few days or a few weeks.”
Viewers will have to wait until Sunday night’s episode to see what Paige does next...
Love Island continues Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
