Love Island fans brand Grace as ‘sly’ as Konnor recouples with her

Love Island fans brand Grace Jackson as ‘manipulative’ and ‘sly’ after she acted dumb when Konnor Ewudzi recoupled with her on Monday.

ITV2 viewers were left baffled by Grace, 25, acting confused as earlier in the episode she told the bombshell, 28,she was open to get to know him as she is not closed off with flame Joey Essex, 33.

At the start of the episode, Grace pulled Konnor for a chat and said: ‘I just wanted to speak with you and obviously coming in as a bombshell it is difficult and you don’t want to step on toes to much but you’ve got to remember why your in here.

‘Is there anyone in here who you would want to chat to who is already in quite a secure couple?’

He replied: ‘Yeah definitely’, prompting Grace to ask: ‘Well who’s that?’ 

Konnor said: ‘Well you being one of them but like the history you have with Joey it doesn’t feel like…’

Grace interrupted to let him know ‘no one is closed’ off, she said: ‘You’ve got to remember why your here and no one is closed off and you are here for yourself and you never know where it might go to.

‘I just wanted to chat to you because I think your the nicest guy. If you ever want to speak I’m here for a chat.’ 

Later in the episode bombshell Konnor had the first pick in the recoupling and chose Grace where she acted extremely surprised when her name was called. 

Her partner and TOWIE star Joey looked completely devastated as he later admitted he is ‘gutted’ as he was left to couple up with Jess. 

Viewers quickly took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to ask whether Grace is aware she is being ‘recorded’ and called for the clip to be played on ‘movie night’. 

‘Grace I don’t know if you know but your actions have all been recorded.’

‘Grace does realise this is recorded right? She literally asked him who he’s interested in and he said her.’

‘Nah I cant wait for Grace ‘s clips this movie night’.

‘Grace is a scary individual, very manipulative acting as if she didn’t plant the seed in konnor’s head yesterday.’

‘Does Grace not know this is being recorded? Like bffr.’

”I didn’t realise it was me he was going to choose’ Grace you took Konnor for a chat, gave him a hug and told him you’re open.’

‘Grace is so sly acting all surprised but was the one telling konnor she was open.’

‘Grace tryna hide her smile like she didnt set that up is just so…’

‘Does Grace suffer from memory loss or something??? you literally told him you’re still open’.
