Love Island teases rising tensions between East Lothian star and fellow islander

East Lothian Love Island star Jay Younger is already causing quite a stir in the villa on his arrival, as the Musselburgh boy deals with his first dose of drama on Wednesday's episode.

Newest bombshell Jay, an investment analyst, entered the villa on Tuesday alongside Manchester boy Remi Lambert, and has caught the eyes of several girls, as reported by Digital Spy.

Newer islander Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu already has her sights set on the Scottish lover boy, with other girls also feeling the fantasy of Jay.

But, some of the boys are less than impressed with Jay's flirting game, as the the teaser clip featured at the end of the show depicted Jay getting into a verbal battle with Jacques O'Neill.

Jay smirked as he quipped: "I'm not here to make friends, I'm not here for seasonal boyfriends."

Jacques shouted over: "What do you do then big boy?", to which Jay responded: "I work in finance as an investment analyst."

Jacques decided to flex his muscles by saying: "Yeah? I play rugby, lad...", but he certainly was not expecting Jay's quick response.

Jay replied: "You're pretty small for a rugby player, no?"

Visibly ruffled from this comeback, Jacques said: "If you probably run at me, I'll flatten you mate!"

So, is this just witty banter, or a rivalry in it's humble beginnings? Only time will tell.

Jay is certain he has what it takes to get the girl he wants, as he details what makes him such a catch.

The 28-year-old said: "I think I genuinely have what most females want. I've got a good job, I think I am a good-looking lad and I have a lot of fun so I feel like I could add a lot of value to their lives if they add a lot of value to mine."

Love Island resumes on Wednesday June 15 at 9pm on ITV2.
