Love Island fans say Jay is 'the real villain' and a 's*** stirrer' amid Ekin-Su drama

Love Island viewers have branded Jay Younger a "s*** stirrer" following dramatic scenes in tonight's episode involving Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Amber Beckford.

The latest episode of the ITV2 dating series saw investment analyst Jay, 28, tell Ekin-Su, 27, that he felt there was tension between her and fellow islander Amber, 24, in the villa.

It led Ekin-Su - who he's coupled up with - to confront Amber, with the conversation quickly turning heated between the two of them, before others got involved.

The following morning, Jacques O'Neill, 23, teased that Jay had "caused so much s***" by talking to Ekin-Su - with Jay suggesting in response that he hadn't wanted any drama.

Jay further commented: "I don't want any more f***ing drama." Jacques said that he had picked the wrong girl then, to which he responded: "I know mate."

Such scenes however prompted viewers to label Jay a "s*** stirrer," with several fans commenting on Twitter that he claims to not want any drama, yet he seemed to cause it.

One viewer wrote: "Jay doesn’t want drama but is happy to be the one stirring s***?" Another commented: "Jay doesn’t want drama but eggs on drama between the two girls?"

"Jay was part of the drama that caused the girls to gang up on Ekin-Su. Like he helped instigate it, now he's slagging her," another viewer wrote on the social media platform.

A number of people said: "Jay is such a s*** stirrer." Viewers weren't necessarily disappointed in him though, with one writing: "Jay is the biggest s*** stirrer and I love it."

"Jay saying he doesn't want any more drama … whilst being integral in all of the drama," wrote one viewer. Another said: "Jay wasn't it you stirring that s*** in the first place?"

Another person wrote in their response earlier: "How can Jay be saying Ekin-Su is 'too much'? Is he not the one that did the shit stirring to get both the rows started?"

Another viewer said that it was him who was "starting the drama" in the villa, with others suggesting that he's a reality TV 'villain'. One viewer wrote: "Jay is the real villain."

As previously mentioned, fans were loving the drama though, with one viewer tweeting: "Jay is such a instigator I love it." Another wrote about Jay: "Yes king, give us more."

Following the drama among the girls in the villa, Jay had told the boys the next morning that he wants to be with a girl who's "well regarded" and doesn't want to become isolated.

Discussing his prior conversation with Ekin-Su, he said: "All I was trying to do last night was gently let her know that maybe her feelings towards the girls aren't reciprocated."

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