Love Island's Ekin-Su has found herself at the centre of more drama, this time outside the villa, after rumours that the actress made a secret deal with another contestant.
The 27-year-old has been accused of plotting to enter into a fake relationship with another contestant in a bid to win the show.
Ekin-Su allegedly planned to try and stay on the dating show until James Price entered as a bombshell in the halfway relationship testing, Casa Amor.
In messages seen by the Sun, it is claimed that Ekin-Su suggested to James that he should "watch old series" and "act like" 2019 winners Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies when he entered.
In messages that seem to come from Ekin, she makes comments like "I'm waiting for my man" and "James don't leave me on the island."
She also urges him to "hurry" and "get your arse in here" in the texts alleged to have been sent in the weeks leading up to her entry into the villa.
In another exchange, James says: "Think we could actually win it", and Ekin-Su replies: "We will baby".
James is believed to have become acquainted with Ekin-Su on the Essex party scene and has a mutual pal in Spencer Morgan, Piers Morgan's son.
A friend told The Sun about the Turkish beauty's secret plan after deciding her sneaky tactics were just a step too far.
They said: "Everybody knows Love Island can be a big machine for making money and becoming famous.
"Even those that really did find love also happened to make tons of money, too, didn't they?
"Ekin just wanted a piece of that.
"It was fine when she was just being funny and stirring up drama, but it's upsetting people now, so I just felt like I had to say something.
"Plus, people are voting for her without knowing this."
The friend added that they believed Ekin still thinks James will be entering the villa one day soon.
However, the Sun learnt through mutual friends that he had already pulled out of the process last week.
It is not known why he got cold feet.
He declined to comment on the accusations.
