Love Island fans slam Ekin-Su for 'playing the victim' after showdown with Gemma

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Gemma Owen came to blows tonight on Love Island - as fans slammed the bombshell for playing the victim.

The pair had a heated row after Dami attempted to read Gemma's mind about how she was feeling about her time in the villa. And as he suggested the international dressage rider might have her head turned by another guy, the news soon got back to Luca Bish, who was devastated by what apparently happened as Ekin-Su stirred the pot.

During his reading, Dami said: "You’re happy with Luca right now. I feel like it would take a lot for your head to turn but there is a small chance that it probably could if someone really came in that was 100% you."

Ekin-Su was criticised by fans of the show (ITV)

"I feel like that is where the confusion would probably come for you because we’re not here to play games. I feel like you’re still open in a sense, probably more open than Luca," he concluded.

Gemma agreed and admitted: "Yeah, that was quite impressive. I don’t think you’re that far wrong."

Whilst Dami told everyone to keep the conversation private, Ekin-Su quickly told Paige and Jacques what was said and he went on to confess to Luca about what happened - as the drama started to unfold.

In a tense row, Gemma told Ekin-Su: "You have started this, you’ve made drama over nothing! You had no right to say that and knew that was going to cause s***," as Gemma was left feeling more anger when Ekin-Su said it was "no big deal".

Some fans of the show took to Twitter to slam Ekin-Su, whilst others praised her for causing some much needed drama.

"The look in Ekin-Su's eye when she went to stir drama is TV gold. #LoveIsland," one fan penned, whilst another added: "Notice how quick Ekin-Su got up after that chat, just to stir #LoveIsland."

Gemma was not happy with how the events unfolded (ITV)

A third shared: "Never say anything around Ekin-Su unless you want it spread instantly. If Dami was trying to stitch up Gemma deliberately it was genius #LoveIsland," as a fourth wrote: "Ekin-Su carried that gossip like a f***ing carrier pigeon from a to b, didn’t even wait ten minutes #LoveIsland."

Another fan suggested Ekin-Su did the wrong thing, writing: "What Ekin-su did was highly unnecessary, she’s not acting her age #LoveIsland," whilst another penned: "ok but dami literally said what ekin-su said so what’s your point toddler #LoveIsland."

*Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
