Shameless flirting: Love Island bombshell Ellie Spence tries to turn Tom Clare’s head during Sunday night’s episode as she flirts with him while working out in the villa’s gym
Taking a break from working out, Tom asked, ‘Do I make you a little nervous?’
Ellie admitted, “You do, you definitely do.”
Tom, who is currently dating Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown, also asked the bombshell: ‘Do you like spending time with me?’

Ellie replied, ‘100% you don’t look bad either, you have really good eye contact too, it makes me nervous, you have really pretty eyes.’
Earlier in the episode, Ellie admitted to Will, “I feel like Tom and I have a good talk.”
The farmer reassured her: “I think there are already cracks you can slip through.”
Ellie jokingly added, “It’s still early, should I make out with everyone today?”

Trouble in paradise: Tom, who is currently dating Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown, also asked the bombshell: ‘Do you like spending time with me?’ to which she replied: ‘100%’
Tom admitted during Friday night’s episode that he would like to meet Ellie despite people being associated with Zara.
After Ellie entered the South African villa, Tom called her up for a chat and assured her that he wanted to meet her, insisting that it’s not ‘exclusive’ with Zara.
“I’m not exclusive, you know what I mean?” she said when Ellie asked how she felt about her current partner Zara and Ellie’s fellow newcomer Spencer Wilks, 24, speaking.
When Tom said he wasn’t “upset” about it, Ellie replied, “That’s a bit of a red flag.”
Earlier in the episode: Ellie admitted to Will, “I feel like Tom and I have a good talk.” The farmer reassured her: “I think there are already cracks you can slip through.”
But Tom replied: ‘She’s not my girl, how much do you like me?’
A flirtatious Ellie then referenced Zara’s fight with Olivia, saying, “You’ve really blown me away, you’re so funny and we’re just kidding around.” I thought after the drama you would say no.
But Tom insisted that he is interested in meeting her and told Ellie to be ‘honest’ about it if Zara asked.
“Zara plays like you’re solid,” Ellie said.
To which Tom said: ‘I’m only here once and you’re fit. I want to get to know you 100 percent.
Zara was then seen catching Tanyel Revan, 26, furious that she didn’t want any “mixed signals” from him.
‘I don’t need mixed signals, I don’t need no doubt. I don’t think you should allow it here,” she said.
But Tanyel told her that she had “nothing to worry about” as she reassured her friend about the situation.

Tom and Zara then caught up, and Zara broke down in tears when he told her that he should have called her to talk.
“I haven’t had a chance to talk to you though,” Tom replied, insisting that they’re in a “good place.”
“I think it’s important that we catch up, especially when the bombs hit,” Zara said, when Tom promised to do just that and they kissed and made up.
