Ekin-Su and Amber had clashed after the nanny couldn’t withhold her views when it came to game playing.
“I feel like upstairs, you’ve been really genuine and we’ve seen a vulnerable side to you,” said Amber in conversation with Ekin-Su.
She added: “But I will add, over the last couple of days I’ve thought ‘Is she playing a bit of a game?’
“I think you’re playing a bit of a game and enjoying the drama.”

Her comments annoyed Ekin-Su who fired back, telling her that she wasn’t “secure in her relationship” with Dami Hope.
Chiming in to defend Amber, Gemma agreed that she’d also thought Ekin-Su had been “calculated” with her approach.

One online user penned: “Gemma has done such a 180 in my estimation tbh. Somehow even among a load of twenty something year olds she keeps popping up as the voice of reason lol #Loveisland.”
Another echoed: “I rate Gemma highly for speaking up then, the only one that did and did it so calmly even though Ekin-Su wouldn’t let anyone get a sentence out #LoveIsland.”
While others chimed: “Yes Gemma well said #LoveIsland” and “Starting to like Gemma small small #LoveIsland.”
Meanwhile, viewers were in store for a drama infused episode on Monday as producers sprang a brutal twist on the stars.
