Love Island’s golden couple at risk as Grace’s ‘head turns’ for another boy after Joey Essex’s outburst

LOVE Island’s golden couple appear to be buckling under the pressure after Grace Jackson sees her head get turned on the show.

So far the 25-year-old model has been committed to making a go of things with her TOWIE star ex Joey.

However, a teaser clip on the latest episode of Aftersun have shown that her eyes could have been pulled in a different direction.

The star could be seen enjoying a cosy chat with the latest hunky bombshell, Konnor.

During the flirty exchange, Grace and Konnor discussed the possibility of finding themselves in a couple with one another.

As their private conversation got underway, Grace suggestively said to the hunk: “Is there anyone in here that you’d want to chat to that is in quite a secure couple.”

Laughing, Konnor quipped back: “Yeah definitely.”

As Grace pushed him for more, he told the stunner: “Well, you being one of them.”

She coyly giggled as he added: “But it is the history you’ve got with Joey.”

She then admitted: “No-one in here is closed off and you are here for yourself.

“I just wanted to chat to you because I think you are the nicest guy.”

The pair then shared a tight hug as sparks appeared to fly between them.

Joey appeared to be clocking on to a potential connection between the pairing as he looked on in a disgruntled manner.

So far Grace has only had eyes for Joey but did admit to finding PE teacher Omar Nyame, 25, “attractive”.

The budding connection between Grace and Omar was quickly stopped after Joey got involved in a heated feud with his co-star.

During tonight’s Love Island, Joey pulled Omar for a chat after growing concerned about his connection with Grace.

Joey said: “Obviously mate, you’ve got to understand I am hearing things…Grace has told me you’ve said a few things. She’s told you to behave….apparently you’ve been flirting with her.”

Omar interrupted: “But at the same time I’m going about my business…then I’m asking what’s been said and I ain’t being told what’s been said. So, that’s annoying me even more now…”

Joey told him: “I’m not trying to embarrass you.”

Hitting back, Omar replied: “But in the same breath you’re saying it’s no competition, it’s no competition and I’m thinking, I ain’t even trying to compete with you. Why did you say it then?”

PE teacher Omar was then forced to sleep in the villa’s Beach Hut – leaving Joey and Grace in the main bedroom.

Joey has rekindled his romance with model Grace, who he dated briefly last year after meeting in Ibiza.
