LOVE Island fans have "worked out" the reason behind Amber Beckford and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's bitter feud.

On Monday night, viewers were shocked as Amber, 24, accused her co-star of "game playing" as they furiously rowed with each other.

Tension has been bubbling between Amber and Ekin-Su, 27, in recent episodes – but it all boiled over in the latest episode.

Things turned sour when Ekin-Su's new love interest Jay Younger told her he felt Amber, Gemma Owen and Paige Thorne didn't like her.

After opening up to the actress, she stormed over to Amber and the group of girls to settle their differences and talk it out.

However, instead of settling the dispute, Amber revealed that she was "questioning" Ekin-Su's intentions, leaving her co-star furious.

"I don't have an issue with you at all," Amber explained. "Being honest with you, how you've been acting the last couple of days has made me question you."

"You're trying to create s**t right now and it's pissing me the f**k off," Ekin-Su hit back, as Amber hit back: "I'm being genuine."

"You're playing a game," Amber continued, as Ekin-Su defended herself, instead pointing the finger towards her co-star.

Amber went on sarcastically: "I'm definitely playing a game, aren't I? Darling if you can't have a nice conversation – I'm not attacking you."

"She secretly likes Jay after he chose her for that meal date and that's why she's being arsey with Ekin-Su," a third said.

A fourth simply concluded: "Amber hates Ekin Su for getting with Jay, who she likes."

It comes after fans branded Amber and her female co-stars as "bullies" for "ganging up" on Ekin-Su during the furious row.

"I'm sorry but the conversation between Amber and the girls and Ekin-Su was so uncomfortable, it was giving bullies ganging up on one person and I didn't like it," one fumed.

Another chimed in: "Giving me the vibes of the girls who would bully you at school," as a third said: "Amber was a bully in school, no one can convince me otherwise."
