Jack Grealish 'likes Love Island star Ekin-Su's Instagram snaps'

Love Island newcomer Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is said to have found a celebrity fan in the form of Jack Grealish.

The footballer, 26, has reportedly been liking the bombshell's Instagram snaps as she prepares to enter the villa in Wednesday's episode.

According to The Sun, Jack first noticed Ekin-Su five days before City’s Champions League collapse against Real Madrid.

A friend of the actress said the sports star first liked a photo of her in a white swimsuit followed by another on a day out in London.

A pal of Jack's said: 'We love Jack but just wish he'd spend more time concentrating on his football than he does on social media.'

Meanwhile, Ekin-Su's friend said the stunner was happy to see Jack appreciated her snaps.

They said: 'Ekin is very discreet and has had lots of famous admirers before but she was quite happy to see Jack liking her pictures. He's a very good-looking guy.'

Jack previously liked a string of former Love Islander Lillie Hayes' bikini snaps.

The England star was also said to have been secretly dating Love Island 2019 winner Amber Gill at the same time he was having secret meetings with Emily Atack.

His girlfriend Sasha Attwood was said to have given the footballer an ultimatum over his secret meetings with other women.

Jack reportedly charmed Amber on Instagram which lead to several clandestine dates.

A source told The Sun: 'Amber has been in contact with Jack for a while after they first got in touch online, and since then they've met up several times over the past few months at hotels, including one in Leeds.

'She was clearly quite excited about it, she told her friends, but after the news about Jack and Emily came out recently the whole thing feels a lot less glamorous.'

The insider added that the pair never had a proper relationship but Amber is disappointed to think he may have been in contact with several other women at the same time as she really liked him.'

Meanwhile, ITV2 viewers were given a taste of what's to come as Afia Tonkmor and Ekin-Su were unveiled as shock new contestants.

Afia - who works as a Lounge Host at a Private Members Club in London - explained that signing up for the show felt like a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity but believes she is still single because she tends to 'fall in love too quickly.'

The 25-year-old said: 'It just seems like a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet someone, have an amazing summer, just have so much fun, and have a bit of a summer romance as well.

'But I fall in love quickly, too quickly, two dates I am like, 'OMG I am obsessed with this boy, he's everything.'

Afia was joined as a new contestant by Essex actress Ekin-Su who is looking for a 'genuine spark' in her love life but admits she can be 'quite picky' and isn't in the villa to make friends.

The latest Islander, 27, said: 'I'm looking for that real genuine spark and they just see me as me. I think the concept of the show brings back true and raw feelings.

'I'm quite picky and I'm not just looking for looks, I'm looking for brains! I'm looking for someone with intelligence, someone who can have good chats.

'Nothing like cockiness! I'm looking for a serious man and a serious relationship. I'll bring the whole package to the villa - drama, tears, laughter, joy, and love.

'I'm looking for the love of my life. I'm not there to make friends. If someone wants to have an argument with me, bring it on.'

Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
