Take a look at some of the best viewer reactions and memes from Monday night's episode, as well as a recap of what went down. 

WATCH: Love Island's Jacques talks split from Gemma Owen

In the latest instalment, viewers watched as Ekin-Su, who is currently coupled up with 'Italian Stallion' Davide, began to have doubts about her pairing and started to show some interest in new islander, Jacques. 

After sitting down with Jacques for a chat at the firepit, a hilarious moment saw a very confident Davide, who remained unthreatened by Jacques's presence, interrupt their conversation to deliver snacks and drinks, insisting that he doesn't care about the new addition getting to know Ekin-Su.

Davide had viewers in hysterics

Walking over to the pair, he said: "Guys it's getting late, so I thought you guys are hungry, so I'm gonna leave some chips. Just some water, in case you're thirsty. I'll see you tomorrow."

Later on in the episode, after being treated to breakfast and coffee by Davide, Ekin-Su appeared to change her mind about Jacques and encouraged Davide's caring behaviour. This prompted fans to predict Ekin-Su's reaction when Casa Amor is introduced later on in the series. One person tweeted: "Ekin-Su is gonna be a nightmare in Casa Amor, bring it on."
