Love Island fans urge villa hunk to make move on Paige Thorne after Adam Collard split

Love Islands fans have urged Ikenna Ekwonna to try for a little romance with Paige Thorne following her split from Adam Collard.

Rumours have been swirling about Paige and Adam's break up for some time after the lack of online interaction between the two, with the hunk heading off to Bali with pals.

Her pal Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu confirmed the two broke up this week and, not stopping there, took a swipe at Adam adding she believes Paige 'deserves better'.

And now, fans are taking it into their own hands to play cupid after noticing Ikenna write complimentary comments on her saucy pictures.

Last week, Paige shared a slew of pictures of herself dressed in a form-fitting long-sleeved jumpsuit.

"I’m good x," she simply captioned the post

Love Island pal Ikenna was in awe and took to the comment section to gush over her beauty.

"ohhh boy," he wrote along with a heart-eyes emoji.

Fans were delighted by his comment and added to the threat with words of encouragement.

"Gorn son," one user urged along with a clapping emoji while another added: "get in there ikenna lad."

One fan wrote: "Go on son".

When Ikenna was still in the Love Island villa, near the beginning of the season, fans thought he had a thing for Paige.

One tweeted: "Ikenna likes Paige, Dami likes Indiyah. Please everyone should adjust accordingly."

It was reported last month that a devastated Paige told Adam, who recently jetted off to Bali without her, how she needed some time away from him following snaps and footage of the Geordie personal trainer alongside a blonde woman after a night out going viral online.

The two reality TV stars are said to currently be on a break after she was left "humiliated" thanks to him being filmed with a blonde woman, it was reported on September 29.

In recent days, Ekin-Su confirmed the news as she defended her.

Speaking in an exclusive interview, on the day of her Beauty Works Edit launch, the Islander revealed: "It's over. It's done.

"I think Paige can do better, that's all I can say."

Ekin-Su paused and added: "I just think it's wrong, you know. This is my point of view in couples; when you come out of Love Island you are pressured, in a way, to stay together.

"Your real relationship starts when you are out of the villa."
