LOVE Island fans are convinced Grace has a ‘game plan’ to end things with Joey Essex.
It comes during a dramatic night in which a recoupling shock saw bombshell Konnor split her and the former Towie star up by picking Grace.
But before the surprise decision sent shockwaves through the villa, viewers were already speculating that Grace had her eyes on Konnor.
The telling moment came as the pair shared a chat the night before and Grace quizzed him on who he was drawn towards.
“Is there anyone in here that you would want to chat to that’s in quite a secure couple?” she asked him.
When Konnor confessed she was someone he was attracted to, she then asked who else he liked.
When he commented that he also liked Uma, but said it “almost feels pointless” as everyone is in strong pairings, Grace appeared to give him some hope.
“I get that, but you have got to remember that noone here is close off and you are here for yourself,” she said. “I just wanted to talk to you as I think you are the nicest guy.”
And fans took that as a sign that she edging away from Joey – and they’re convinced it’s because ending up in the bottom of the public vote on Sunday night’s episode rattled her.
While the pair avoided the chop, many are speculating she has now twigged her pairing with Joey might not be as popular with fans as she thought.
Taking to X, formerly twitter, one said: “Since Grace was in the bottom of the public vote she really be trying to RUN away from Joey.”
Another agreed, posting: “Have noticed that since grace find herself in bottom 3, she has been trying to run away from Joey.”
A third echoed: “Grace is trying to run away from Joey after yesterday’s vote.”
And a fourth chimed in: “Idk I feel grace has a game plan she wasn’t expecting to be in least favourite so now she’s trying to graft other people hmmmmm susss.”
A fifth questioned: “I wonder why Grace can’t just look Joey in the eyes and DUMP HIM…instead of this unnecessary gimmicks.”
Meanwhile, a sixth fumed on instagram: “Grace literally pushing Konnor specifically if he has his eye on anyone in an exclusive couple, THEN telling the girls he said outright he was into Grace and Uma?? And it shocked her??? I SEE WHO YOU ARE GRACE GET OUT.”
