Ekin-Su, 27, was picked by the new boy to be one of two girls he had a date with - alongside her co-star Tasha Ghouri.
After a dramatic couple of days - falling out with her former beau Jay Younger - the actress seemed pleased to get to know Charlie.
She and Charlie could be seen sipping on champagne as they sat side-by-side in the hot tub discussing their interest in each other.
However, despite getting along well - Ekin-Su made a brutal swipe against the property developer, suggesting she wasn't interested.

After the date, Ekin-Su told her fellow Love Island girls: "I'm not going to say too much about it but I was pleasantly surprised.
"Very surprised because I felt like I was relaxed with Charlie, there was no being fake, there was no putting on a front.
"I had a lot of giggles and laughs, and enjoyed it. It's not about the looks now, I'm going to try something new."
Fans couldn't help but notice that it appeared Ekin-Su suggested that she didn't find Charlie attractive due to her comments about "looks".

Another chimed in: "Nah Ekin-Su saying she’s ‘not going for looks’ after her date with Charlie is a VIOLATION. That's VERY muggy."
"It's not about the looks now? Did Ekin-Su just say that Charlie is clapped?" a third added alongside a laughing emoji.
As a fourth concluded: "Ekin-Su is basically saying Charlie ain't good looking. She said it's not about the looks."

It comes after Love Island fans once again pleaded with show producers to step in to help Ekin-Su over claims of bullying.
Viewers accused some boys of 'slut-shaming' the Turkish actress amid her ongoing rows with Jay Younger and Davide Sanclimente.
Ekin-Su was also embroiled in wider drama on Monday when the Islanders clashed in a war of words after the girls accused of her "playing games" in the villa.
"That whole episode was Ekin-Su being sl*t shamed, it was vile," wrote one fan on Reddit.
Another added: "They’re hiding behind this guise of not liking her breakup with Davide and using it as a shield to sl*t shame her, people saying it’s karma, etc."
And on Twitter one fan wrote: "Something needs to be done about the way they’re literally bullying Ekin-Su in the villa."
