Love Island's Jess tells 'game player' Mike she doesn't trust him after he makes a move on her

Love Island star Mike Boateng suspiciously makes a move on Jess Gale following Leanne Amaning's shock exit - and she makes it clear she doesn't trust him.

Mike lays his cards down by telling Jess he has feelings for her and savagely admits Leanne's exit is a "kick up the bum" for him.

The policeman, who originally fancied the twins, tells Jess "had it been me that was able to pick first I would have picked you".

It's been a tough few days for the Islanders as the villa has been shaken up with new arrivals and a brutal re-coupling - which saw Leanne get axed from the show by ex Mike.

Grabbing Jess for a one-to-one chat, he declares the way he feels about her.

He says: "I'm a little bit upset I didn't get it my way. But I'm not going to let it stop me getting to know you."

But Jess is left unconvinced, and questions his authenticity.

She replies: "Actions speak louder than words. In order for me to know be with someone other than Luke, you need to show me."

The hunk confesses he can "definitely" see the pair going somewhere, and told Jess "I'll show you".

However Jess, 20, is suspicious and starts to see red flags.

"I know that if this hadn't happened with Leanne, you wouldn't be saying it," she tells him.

But he hits back with: "Everything happens for a reason. This might have been the kick up the bum to get to where I'm supposed to be."

Still hesitant, Jess says: "I'm not sure whether you're being genuine… your head's all over the place."

Later in the evening, Luke M, who is partnered up with Jess, advises her that he doesn't think she can trust Mike "as far as you can throw him".

Will Jess end up falling for Mike?

*Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
