Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard shared a steamy kiss on the terrace after she stole him from Kaz Crossley in Tuesday’s explosive episode.
In a teaser clip for Wednesday’s episode, the pair were seen sharing a cosy moment away from their fellow islanders, with the chat ending in a passionate kiss.
Later in the evening, things appeared to heat up further between them as they play a racy game around the fire pit, with Ekin-Su being dared to give Curtis a lap dance.
It comes just hours after the former Love Island winner, 30, declared she had picked Curtis, 28, as her new man, leaving his original partner Kaz single.
Her fellow Islanders were shocked by the choice, with many believing she would go for Scott Thomas.
India Reynolds was heard saying: ‘I am shocked,’ as Scott said: ‘Wow.’

Ekin-Su returned to the ITV dating series at the end of Monday night’s episode.
The reality star, who scooped the £50,000 cash prize with ex Davide in June 2022, made her return at the end of the highly-anticipated launch show as she once again entered as a bombshell.
Earlier in Tuesday’s episode, Ekin-Su gave a very icy one-word response when asked how she would feel if her ex Davide Sanclimenti arrived on Love Island: All Stars.
When asked by fellow Islander Gabby Allen how she would feel to see Davide enter the villa, Ekin-Su simply replied: ‘Nothing.’
The girls laughed at her response before asking Ekin-Su where her and Davide – who split in January 2024 – stood now.
‘I don’t know what he’s doing, I couldn’t care,’ Ekin-Su shrugged. ‘It’s in the past.
‘That’s the old chapter and I’m here in the new chapter. Things didn’t work and I’m here.’
Speaking ahead of her comeback, the brunette beauty said: ‘I want to return to Love Island again because it’s where my journey started and has a special place in my heart.

‘It’s somewhere I’ve laughed, cried and learnt so much. The fact that there’s an opportunity to do it again – why not!
‘Why can’t a winner go back in and re-write her story and have a second chance?! I think you should follow your gut and my gut is telling me to go back, so I’m listening to it.’
When quizzed on what she’s looking for this time around, Ekin-Su revealed she wants ‘someone who isn’t overly self-obsessed and someone that’s aware of flaws because we all have them.’
In what could be a swipe at Davide, she added: ‘I’d like a man that will love me when I’m in the worst mood possible but still understands why and has no judgments.
‘I’d like someone supportive, I don’t care about looks and money – I want someone to be my biggest cheerleader.’
When it comes to red flags, the biggest one for Ekin-Su is ‘someone selling the dream at the start, being perfect – because that’s not real.’
She insisted: ‘Real love and connection starts with the journey, a friendship and getting to know one another first.’

During Monday’s launch show, Ekin-Su made a thinly-veiled dig at ex Davide as she revealed why she’s returned to the Love Island for All Stars
It comes as Love Island All Stars viewers were left aghast by the show ‘married and touching 40 years old’ contestants during Monday’s much-anticipated launch show and declared: ‘This isn’t for senior citizens!’.
The ITV2 series welcomed back a whole host of former stars with many now much older and with plenty of baggage as fans fumed they were ’embarrassing’ themselves by returning to the villa.
While Marcel Somerville was the eldest at 39 and admitted he was still married, Scott Thomas was 36, making them both a decade older than youngest singleton Catherine Agbaje, 24.
Meanwhile Naz Majeed, 28, and Curtis Pritchard, also 28, revealed they were fresh out of relationships leaving viewers at home shouting at the TV.
