LOVE Island fans are set to be rocked as Medhi Edno flirts with new girl Leah Taylor behind Whitney Adebayo’s back.
In tonight’s explosive episode, the pair steal a quiet moment together on the outdoor sofas before Medhi puts his cards on the table.
Mehdi Edno pulls Leah Taylor for a chat in tonight’s show, leaving fans shocked
His shady behaviour comes just days after he and Whitney locked lips on the terrace.
“I wanted to let you know that I would like to get to know you more,” he told the 27-year-old bombshell.
Surprised by his bold confession, Leah replied: “Oh really? I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t expect that.”
“I think, you know, you’re a smart girl,” he continued, “you are articulated.
“I’ve been confused for the past days, I’m not going to lie to you.”
“Right, ok,” Leah mused.
“I think there are other qualities to you, but I’ll keep them to myself for now,” he grinned.
“Ok, I like that! You have to leave something a little bit hidden, don’t you?” she said.
“Of course,” he agreed, “yeah, you’ll sleep on the mystery and discover later.”
Leah did question his feelings for Whitney and said: “I didn’t think it was on that level. I thought things were going well with you and Whitney…you’ve kissed?”
But it seems that Mehdi’s head is very much turned.
In the first look tease on Instagram, fans were not impressed at all.
“I’m sad for Whitney that she was finally about to fall for Mehdi then he does this. And I’m sad for Leah, they are treating her like a spare part in there,” one wrote.
“Whitney deserves 100000 times better than Mehdi!” another added.
“Ok can we bring in a bombshell for Whitney ASAP,” a third quipped.
“Leah is one of my favourites !! She’s so lovely and is holding herself when the boys have treated her badly in there,” another fan wrote.
Despite being an early favourite with fans on the show, it seems that Mehdi is slowly letting his crown slip.
Earlier this week he was slammed for his behaviour towards Whitney as the pair had a tense chat.
Some viewers claim to have spotted manipulative and controlling behaviours, highlighting the way he reacted to Whitney’s mannerisms after yesterday’s surprise recoupling.
He called her “disrespectful” for giggling during his speech. Whitney apologised and insisted it was just a result of her nerves.
One fan made their feelings known about his change of behaviour in an online forum.
They said: “Mehdi knew from the jump that Whitney was silly. He would always say he liked how ‘fiery’ she was, how she’s funny etc. Now all of the sudden, there’s this switch. Everything she does is problem.
“During the recoupling, Whitney was giggling because she was shy. It’s basically her way of blushing!! He even knows it takes her a while for her to open up like this, so why is he acting so…stern?
“All these comments about her being ‘loud’ when you liked that she was fiery before? Even the whole Jess situation making it seem like she was the aggressor.
“He’s controlling and quite frankly, he’s giving me ….the narc word. And I know people are afraid of that word but this switch is SCARY.”
Another fan agreed, writing: “I was liking Mehdi in the beginning, but he is screaming red flags now.”
