The Chelsea and England star wrote: "WHO'S EMMAAAAAAAAA" on Rice's post.
The comment is a dead giveaway that at least Palmer and Rice are watching Love Island while on England duty.
The comment refers to Love Island contestant Nicole who is coupled up with fellow Valleys resident Ciaran.
She had her loyalty tested when the girls were sent to Casa Amor and the boys remaining in the main villa.
