Love Island fans commended Ekin-Su Culculoglu for bringing the drama to Sunday night’s episode of All Stars as she stirred the pot between her co-stars.
The bombshell, who won the 2022 series of the hit dating series, pulled Olivia Hawkins, who is coupled up with Marcel, for a catch-up as she revealed she saw a spark between her and Luca Bish.
Ekin insisted to Olivia that she had noticed there was something between her and Luca after they kissed during the latest Truth or Dare game.
She said: ‘I noticed something at the fire pit at the games and I had a chat with Luca this morning and he said he was really surprised how much he enjoyed the kiss with you.
Surprised, Olivia replied: ‘Really?’
Ekin asked: ‘I think there is something there. What vibes do you get from him recently?’

Olivia added: ‘Just flirty, eye contact. The thing is obviously last night when I kissed him it was from my side, it just made sense’.
Ekin said: ‘I felt your energy. Then he mentioned it and I was like hang on a minute, I need to ask you if you actually felt something in that kiss.’
‘No like when I went to kiss him I felt nervous,’ Olivia admitted. ‘The thing is I’m just curious with Luca. I just don’t know how I feel if he came to me and said, “look I still want to get to know you”, I think I would be a bit thrown. Like I genuinely wouldn’t know what to do, my head would be scrambled’.
Ekin later moved on and had a chat with new girl Tina who revealed she is attracted to Scott, she said: ‘You test it out and you see who you have a connection with, I’m sorry but you’ve got to be selfish.
‘As much as India is my girl I’m talking to you as a bombshell that has been here herself and I’m bigging you up.’
Fans quickly took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to brand Ekin as the ‘goat islander’ as she stirred the pot ‘initiating drama’ between the stars.
They wrote: ‘EKIN SU!! Always stirring that pot and breaking up the strong couples, she is the goat islander 10/10 my favourite;
‘Ekin Su in this love island is stirring; Ekin Su initiating drama… HURRICANE EKIN IS BACK; Ekin Su stirring the pot and watching it all go off;

‘The producers only cast Ekin Su this season to stir s*** and bring drama to the villa; Ekin Su is the gift that keeps on giving, stirring the pot continuously;
‘This is why Ekin Su is the ultimate bombshell; Ekin Su genuinely scares me this girl doesn’t regard anyone’s feelings she just wants drama’.
Later in the show, Tina recoupled with Scott leaving India single and dumped from the South Africa villa.
However not all was over as host Maya Jama announced two new bombshells, Grace Jackson and Ron Hall as they entered to bring more drama to the ITV2 show.
Stunner Grace, 25, appeared in last summer’s series where she coupled up with Joey EsSєx, 34, before going on to reportedly date footballer Marcus Rashford, 27, before dumping him last month.
Meanwhile Ron Hall, 27, recently split from Lydia Karakyriakou who appeared as a Casa Amor girl during the same series in 2023.
