Love Island's Ekin-Su and Amber clash in game playing row as fans brand apology 'fake'

Many Love Island viewers saw their suspicions come to the surface on Monday night when a war of words erupted between Ekin-Su and Amber.

While Gemma Owen sparked all the lion’ share of online discussions in the early days of the new series, week one bombshell Ekin-Suhas certainly been at the centre of plenty of drama since she made her entrance into the villa.

last week, Love Island fans saw her anger Davide who branded her “a liar actress,” in an instantly iconic rant, after she wasted little time in going behind his back with new boy Jay. Ekin-Su finally got her wish when Jay picked her to couple up with at the start of Sunday night’s episode, however, in a move that blindsided fans of the show, she then pulled Davide for a chat and asked if he still cared about her.

And it’s Ekin-Su’s actions in the last few days that seemed to have rubbed Amber up the wrong way. Viewers thought they’d rumbled Amber’s change of heart about Ekin-Su on Sunday’s show and then, on Monday, unable to bite her tongue any longer, she told her fellow Islander how she felt, as the other girls listened it.

Having stirred up some tension between Tasha and Andrew days earlier, it was Jay that seemed to plant the seed with Ekin-Su that Amber might be not be impressed with her, when he commented: I won’t lie, I am sensing a bit of friction between you and Amber, I can just sense it."

Fresh from her conversation with Jay, Ekin-Su decided to address the situation with Amber, telling her: "I was sitting there and he [Jay] was like, I think Amber and Paige don’t like you.”

Putting her point across, Amber replied: "“I feel like upstairs, you’ve been really genuine and we’ve seen a vulnerable side to you but I will add, over the last couple of days I’ve thought, is she playing a bit of a game?”

Defiant, Ekin-Su asked her: "“What's your actual issue with me? All you’re saying doesn’t make sense," to which Amber responded: “You’re playing a bit of a game, enjoying the drama”. Ekin-Su questioned: “Am I playing a game or are you playing a game?”

Amber then told Ekin-Su that she wasn't the only girl who'd been questioning her intentions, with Gemma also speaking up in agreement as Ekin-Su became increasingly annoyed.

Amber and Ekin-Su appeared to gloss things over later on in the episode, but viewers were far from convinced that everything was rosy between them. One tweeted: "Amber still hates ekin su this chat is so fake," and another posting: "I'm sorry but all the girls clearly turning against ekin su is mean and like amber is just as fake as ekin su is lol"
