Love Island star Indiyah Polack has teased new feelings for Ikenna Ekwonna.
The hotel waitress, 23, was coupled up with the 23-year-old pharmacist by public vote earlier this week.
Since then, Indiyah has admitted to struggling to find a connection with Ikenna but that looks set to change as new bombshell contestants Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu and Afia Tonkmor descend on the villa.
Tonight’s show (June 9) will see Indiyah confess to Dami Hope that she has new “territorial” feelings for Ikenna in the wake of Afia’s arrival.
While watching the pair talk in the pool, Indiyah remarks: “This morning when she pulled him for a chat I was thinking, ‘Why are they laughing so much?'”
Dami then asks Indiyah if she is growing “territorial”.
The seemingly jealous Islander replies: “Yeah but that’s how I am but I am not going to show you that but like obviously I am, I am a little bit.”
During the episode, Indiyah also later confirms her newly developing feelings for the hunky scientist in a confessional chat in the Beach Hut.
On her surprise at her response to Afia and Ikenna’s chat, she says: “Those thoughts and feelings don’t come from nowhere.
“So obviously that did make me realise there is a bit of attraction there between me and Ikenna so I guess you could say that my territorial side jumped out just a tiny bit!”
Indiyah’s U-turn regarding Ikenna follows her previously forgetting his name.
It also comes after Love Island fans pleaded for Ikenna to get more screentime during Wednesday night’s show.
During the episode, Love Island fans on Twitter complained that the hunky Islander was conspicuously absent from the majority of scenes.
One fan complained: “Ikenna getting like 30 secs of screentime while forcing the italian guy down our throat is a hate crime.”
Another queried: “Can Ikenna get more screen time I actually like him?”
Love Island continues at 9pm tonight (June 9) on ITV2.
