LOVE Island viewers were angry ahead of an altercation between bombshell Jay Younger and rugby star Jacques O’Neill.
The 28-year-old from Edinburgh entered the villa as one of two bombshells and immediately got the attention of Ekin-Su.
A teaser of tomorrow night’s episode saw Ekin-Su – who is coupled up with Italian stud Davide – began drooling over Jay.
He is the latest Italian to descend upon the villa and described himself as the ‘Italian main course’ ready to take on Davide as the ‘Italian snack.’
Remi Lambert entered alongside Jay and also turned heads with his arrival, exciting fans with his killer body.
In the teaser Davide is seen fuming at Ekin-Su’s interest in the new boys, despite saying he was not sure if he was interested in her.
Ekin-Su can be seen saying: “I’ve told him I’m open to getting to know other people.”
To which Remi shot back: “What is he all muscles and no chat,” a comment that got Ekin-Su smiling.

But a tense moment between Jay and Jacques is what got fans up in a flap on Twitter.
It started with Jay saying: “I’m not here to make friends, I’m not here for season of boyfriends.”
Jacques shot back: “What do you do then big boy?”
Jay told him he worked in finance and Jacques replied, “Do ya? I’m a rugby player lad.”
The finance analyst did not miss a beat: “You’re a bit small for a rugby player.”
And Jacques then assured Jay, “if you probably run at me, I’ll flatten ya.”
Fans watching at home were less than impressed with the show of bravado, but excited for the brewing drama.
“JACQUES SAID “I’LL FLATTEN YA” FINALLY THE VILLA IS ACTIVE,” said one fan on Twitter.
And another added: “I really don’t think we’re getting the drama we want with Jacques and Jay I think they’ll laugh it off like Gemma and Luca did. I hope I’m wrong cuz I want no I NEED drama.”
A third wrote: “jay and remi are finally gonna spice things up in the villa.”
Jay previously worked as a junior investment analyst before making his way up to an investments analyst where he has worked for the past three years.
Speaking about why he wanted to go on the show he said: “I think I am at the point in my life where it would be quite fun to find someone and have fun along the way.
“And doing it in Mallorca and in the Villa would be a great opportunity, so why not?

“I am going to be a supportive Islander, I think I am going to bring a lot of fun.
“Hopefully some good laughs along the way and maybe some indecisive decisions.”
