There was more drama unfolding in the Love Island villa on Monday night (June 27) when things got a little bit tense between contestants Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Gemma Owen. The heated row spiralled and saw 19-year-old Gemma tell Ekin-Su to keep her "nose out of other people's business".
It all started when fellow Islander Dami Hope attempted to read Gemma's mind and mentioned that there was a "small chance" the daughter of former professional footballer Michael Owen may have her head turned by another guy, The Mirror reported. Despite currently being coupled with fishmonger from Brighton, Luca Bish, she told Dami he wasn't "that far wrong".
But the chaos started to unfold when, despite being told to keep the details of the conversation private, Ekin-Su went off to tell Paige Thorne and Jacques O'Neill about the moment - and it wasn't long before Luca found out what had been said. Gemma confronted Ekin-Su and they quickly came to blows.

The ITV2 dating show moment divided viewers, as some were left unimpressed by Ekin-Su's actions, but others were saying they 'love' the drama. But many fans are now convinced that Ekin-Su is "undercover" in the villa.
The 27-year-old, who is an actress, has sparked speculation amongst viewers, who suggest she's been put in the villa to stir things up. Glory tweeted: "Ekin-su has to be a shadow producer because why is she messy #LoveIsland." Another viewer, Alex, posted: "Ekin-su is an undercover producer I swear."
It seems many fans were convinced as Tiego said they were "convinced Ekin-Su is a producer of the show", while Cee added: "Ekin-Su is an undercover producer cause what was the reason #LoveIsland." Another viewer, Madge, tweeted: "I swear Ekin-su is a producer undercover #LoveIsland."
"I’m convinced Ekin-Su is a paid actress in there and the producers are telling her what to do cause seriously," Nicole Teixeira Corrales added. Katelyn tweeted: "If at the end of this series of #LoveIsland they tell us Ekin-Su was a plant put in the villa to create drama a la The Mole, I won't be surprised. They remind us she's an actress every episode. She's doing a good job honestly."
Susan Silver added: "Brilliant catching Gemma out, it’s a fake romance from both sides love Ekin's drama, it would be boring without her #LoveIsland." Sarah tweeted: "Are the producers like paying Ekin-Su off or something to cause absolute carnage? She’s 28 and stirring the pot like it’s secondary school drama, awful."
Whilst another viewer, Ayesha added: "I am CONVINCED that Ekin-Su is a plant and is working with the producers. No one can tell me otherwise #LoveIsland."
Cian posted: "No one can tell me Ekin-Su is not an undercover producer, this woman lives to find content for the show."
