‘She’s playing a dangerous game’ says Love Island viewers as they ‘work out’ movie night moment that could split couple

LOVE Island viewers are convinced one couple will be rocked in movie night when a villa girl’s ‘game-playing’ is revealed.

Last night Grace Jackson appeared shocked when new boy Konnor Ewudzi picked her in the latest recoupling.

Her previous partner Joey Essex was just as stunned – but what Joey didn’t know was that Grace previously told Konnor she wasn’t closed off and appeared to give him encouragement.

Viewers are now hoping show bosses include the private chat in movie night, the popular part of the programme that sees secret moments shared with the villa in a bid to create maximum drama.

One person wrote on X: “Can’t wait for movie night when Joey sees Grace encouraging Konnor to pick her. Do these people forget they’re on camera?”

Another said: “The producers immediately saving the clip of Grace’s chat with Connor for Movie Night.”

A third person posted: “Is it just me thinking that Grace is playing a snakey game?! She seems to give off energy in certain chats. Now she’s saying she’s closed off? Wtf ahaha make a decision.”

A fourth shared: “Can’t wait to see Joey’s forehead vein burst when Grace gets exposed on movie night.”

Before Konnor’s coupling decision sent shockwaves through the villa, viewers predicted the outcome.

The telling moment came as the pair shared a chat the night before and Grace quizzed him on who he was drawn towards.

“Is there anyone in here that you would want to chat to that’s in quite a secure couple?” she asked him.

When Konnor confessed she was someone he was attracted to, she then asked who else he liked.

When he commented that he also liked Uma, but said it “almost feels pointless” as everyone is in strong pairings, Grace appeared to give him some hope.

“I get that, but you have got to remember that noone here is close off and you are here for yourself,” she said. “I just wanted to talk to you as I think you are the nicest guy.”

And fans took that as a sign that she edging away from Joey – and they’re convinced it’s because ending up in the bottom of the public vote on Sunday night’s episode rattled her.

While the pair avoided the chop, many are speculating she has now twigged her pairing with Joey might not be as popular with fans as she thought.

Taking to X, formerly twitter, one said: “Since Grace was in the bottom of the public vote she really be trying to RUN away from Joey.”

Another agreed, posting: “Have noticed that since grace find herself in bottom 3, she has been trying to run away from Joey.”

A third echoed: “Grace is trying to run away from Joey after yesterday’s vote.”

And a fourth chimed in: “Idk I feel grace has a game plan she wasn’t expecting to be in least favourite so now she’s trying to graft other people hmmmmm susss.”
