Whitney Adebayo makes Love Island 'move' on Zach after Mehdi's exit from ITV show

Whitney Adebayo has done what many viewers expected and hoped she'd do, by 'making a move' on Zach Noble, following Mehdi Edno's shock exit from Love Island on Tuesday.

A couple from day one, having been paired up by the public, Whitney and Mehdi certainly had their ups and downs during their time in the villa, with a number of heated rows between the pair and fans claiming they were getting 'red flags' from some of the comments he made to her and about her. Whitney and Mehdi clashed again after she was left annoyed by him kissing four girls in the Heart Rate Challenge, they looked to be heading back on the right track, until a huge spanner was thrown in the works by the latest public vote.

Love Island viewers were asked to vote for their favourite boy and girl on the ITV and, unfortunately for Mehdi, he finished bottom for the lads, with him being kicked out of the villa immediately, in a double elimination, alongside mal, who polled the lowest number of votes for the girls.

Whitney looked genuinely gutted to see Mehdi go, with her asking to visit him in France, as he encouraged her to make the most of her experience. While Whitney was upset, many people watching the fallout of Mehdi's dumping at home, said him going gave the 'freedom' they'd be wanting for her.

And she made the most of it on Wednesday, when she pulled Zach aside for a chat, pushing him on what his type was and asking him: "Whitney says: “How come you are kissing me in challenges?” to which he replied: "You’ve kissed me in challenges as well. I like this though…”

As sparks flew between the pair, Whitney then asked Zach: “Are you shocked by this conversation? Where do you stand with Kady?” to which he replied “It’s super early days but this has been a good conversation…we can definitely have a good conversation tomorrow.”

Just as viewers felt like there was something between Whitney and Zach, a body language expert also picked up in sexual tension between them during the Heart Rate Challenge.. Having watched that episode, Darren Stanton, speaking on behalf of Betfair, remarked: "Having watched Sunday's show, he said: "“There is definitely chemistry between Zach and Whitney. Zach couldn’t stop looking at her when she was dancing with the other boys. He had his arms stretched out, which showed he wanted attention from her. He also licked his lips, which is a flirty gesture - and he isn’t afraid to show how he’s feeling."
