Love Island fans spot 'clue' Gemma and Ekin-Su's furious row was 'fake'

Love Island fans were left on the edge of their seats while watching Monday's episode as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Gemma Owen clashed.

Michael Owen's daughter Gemma, 19, angrily confronted 27-year-old Ekin-Su and accused her of spreading rumours about her feelings towards Luca Bish.

Gemma branded Ekin-Su's antics as "d**khead behaviour" after the Turkish actress claimed Gemma confessed her head could be turned.

After Ekin-Su told Gemma to "relax" after fishmonger Luca caught wind of the claims, the dressage rider said: "You can't drop a bomb and then tell me to f***ing relax. I think that's d***head behaviour.

"Maybe you should keep your nose out of other people's business and shut up."

In scenes filmed later in the evening during the villa's blue party, some eagle-eyed viewers noticed Gemma and Ekin-Su were sat next to one another.

Viewers took to Twitter to share their suspicions that the argument between the pair could have been set up.

One said: "That “beef” was 100% orchestrated by the producers to give Gemma and Luca airtime, see how quickly it was squashed and how Ekin and Gemma were sitting together afterwards?"

"Ekin su sitting with Gemma after causing all this is so funny to me #LoveIsland," another added.

While a third said: "The way Ekin and Gemma are literally sitting next to each other now LOOOOL this was producer-made drama #LoveIsland."

"How staged is this. Ekin & Gemma literally sitting right next to each other as if nothing just happened #loveisland," another wrote.

The row was sparked after Dami Hope claimed he could read Gemma's mind and told her in front of Ekin-Su, Indiyah Polack and Charlie Radnedge: "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.

"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."

After Gemma admitted Dami's reading was "quite impressive", Ekin-Su quickly went to Paige Thorne and Jacques O'Neill her version of events, who went to tell Luca as he "had his back".

The villa then got talking about what Ekin-Su had told Paige and rugby player Jacques, which got back to Gemma who fumed over Ekin-Su's version of what happen.

Confronting Ekin-Su, Gemma said: "You have started this, you've made drama over nothing."

She added: "People need to concentrate on their own dramas, then if your relationship is perfect then you can give me advice but until then keep your nose out of it."

Gemma went on: "You've spoken about what Dami said about me...hung to the bit you knew was going to cause the most drama and run with it.

"I think that's dickhead behaviour...maybe you should just keep your nose out of other people's business and shut up."
