Although many thought that the show got off to a slow start, it's fair to say that Love Island 2022 is well and truly heating up. In the first-look clip released ahead of tonight's episode (16th June), it looks like we've got some serious drama coming our way, with Ekin-Su and new boy Jay sneaking off for a secret encounter - behind Italian stallion Davide's back!

In the clip, fans can see Ekin-Su whisper to Jay that she wants to get to know him on a more 'secret level', urging him to follow her up to the terrace a few minutes after she goes up there herself. In an attempt to keep their meet up on the down-low, Ekin-Su proceeds to crawl along the terrace floor, to avoid being seen by her fellow Islanders!

⚠️WARNING: Major Love Island spoilers below⚠️

As instructed, Jay soon makes his way to the terrace - and after crawling along the floor to join Ekin-Su, it looks like things get a little bit steamy between the pair!

Despite being coupled up with Davide, Ekin-Su hasn't been shy when it comes to showing her attraction towards newcomer Jay Younger, who she went on a date with in Wednesday night's episode (15th June).

The clip ends with the pair looking like they are about to share a secret kiss, with Jay leaning in and seemingly planting one on the professional actress.

Despite the pair's best efforts to stay hidden from their fellow Islanders, it appears they haven't fooled everyone, with co-stars Gemma Owen and Luca Bish becoming suspicious of their whereabouts.

Whilst Gemma speculates: "Are they on the terrace?", Luca shouts up: "Ekin-Su, Jay?"

With Davide already having his suspicions that Jay is going to try and kiss Ekin-Su, it's looking like we're going to have a bit of drama on our hands here. Will Ekin-Su open up to the girls?

It's no secret that Ekin-Su has turned up the heat in the villa since her arrival last week, stealing Davide away from Gemma almost immediately, before also showing interest in Jaques, Jay and fellow new boy Remi.
