Ekin-Su, 27, was one of three girls who had received the least votes from fans as they decided who should stay in the villa.

This meant she faced being dumped alongside Amber Beckford and Tasha Ghouri in Tuesday night's show.

But although Ekin-Su ended up staying in the villa, with Amber receiving the chop, Jay has suddenly done a U-turn on his feelings for her.

Sharing their theory online, one Love Island fan said: "Jay doesn’t want Ekin Su anymore because he thinks he’s not liked by public because of her."

Another added: "Jay is only acting like this towards Ekin because she was in the bottom 3, let’s be real."

A third mused: "Jay is SPOOKED by the results of the public vote, looking at Ekin Su like an albatross round his neck."

And a fourth even added: "Jay has buyers' remorse. How can he try to give Ekin back to Davide?"

first began dropping hints that he was going off Ekin the morning after she had survived the dumping.

He had also faced being axed from the villa, but ended up staying alongside Andrew Le Page when Ikenna Ekwonna was sent packing.

While chatting to Ekin, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew, Jay said: "Would I have walked if Ekin had been voted off? Likewise would Ekin have walked if I'd been voted off?

"It's difficult to say. If it was me, I would have encouraged Ekin to stay because I would like to test if she was genuine with me."

He then asked whether she would feel the same, but Ekin replied: "I personally felt like if you were going to go, then I felt like going. But that's just me. That should prove I like you."

Then later, Jay was seen asking Gemma Owen: "If I wasn't coupled up with Ekin, do you think any of the girls in here would be open to getting to know me? Which ones do you think?"

Gemma told him Paige Thorne, to which he replied: "The only reason why I ask is, while everything is great with Ekin, I'm getting the feeling that her and Davide [Sanclimenti] have got unfinished business."

Jay then confessed in the Beach Hut that he thinks his initial feelings towards Ekin-Su was just "lust".
