Love Island winner reveals secret connection to TWO stars from this series

LOVE Island winner Kem Cetinay has revealed he knows two of this years Islanders really well.

In a surprising twist, the 26-year-old told followers that Tasha is in fact a dancer in his Essex restaurant Array and that Ekin-Su lives next door to him.

Kem – who stormed to victory with Amber Davies back in 2017 – spilled the beans during a ‘ask me anything’ session on Reddit.

When quizzed on this thoughts on Tasha and Andrew, he said: “I really like them. Tasha actually dances at my restaurant! She never told me she was going on until a new dancer showed up. She’s such a nice girl.

“I think their relationship is just a little different and they need a bit more reassurance.”

And he revealed how he knows Ekin while taking part in his own game of snog, marry, pie – saying:  “Snog Gemma, marry Paige and pie Ekin-Su! I don’t need that drama in my life. I’m joking. I know Ekin well, we’re neighbours!”

Ekin-Su is also Turkish like Kem so is likely to have bonded with him over their shared heritage.

Meanwhile Ekin-Su and Davide are currently the favourites to win the show.

Despite their ups and down the couple have nearly a 90% probability of taking home the cash prize.

According to Coral, Adam and Paige are second favourites but back at 8-1, with Andrew and Tasha third in the betting at 10-1.

Their pals certainly think they could go all the way, with Davide’s friend Fabrizio saying:  “Both are fiery individuals with a go-getter attitude - we can all tell how genuine the way they look at each other is.”

Ekin-Su’s pal added: “She’s an amazing person and always wanted a little family. I think both of them are great together and would conquer the world. I know he’ll take care of my bestie.”
