Love Island's Whitney Adebayo's 'true' feelings rumbled amid Mehdi row as shock romance predicted

Body language experts and Love Island viewers claim to have 'rumbled' who Whitney Adebayo is really interested in on the ITV2 show and it's definitely not current love interest Mehdi Edno, who she had another row with on Monday night.

Together since the start of the new series, Whitney and Mehdi seemed very much a 'friendship couple' in the early days of living in the villa together, however, after a rather heated row over Jess Harding being left in tears things went up a notch last week, when Mehdi made his move and the pair ended up kissing on the terrace.

However, tension has now reared its head again, in the aftermath of the Heart Rate Challenge which aired on Sunday's Love Island. One of fans' favourite moments every year, the game involves the boys and girls doing racy dances for each other, with results then revealing who raised whose heart rate the most. Whitney could only sit there and watch as Mehdi kissed four of the girls during his routine, with her making it very clear to him how unimpressed she was with her behaviour.

And now, both experts keeping a close eye on the new series and Love Island viewers at home think Whitney's already switching her attention to someone else - Zach Noble. Zach was at the centre of some huge drama on Friday night, when returning bombshell Kady McDermott chose him to 'steal,' sealing Molly Marsh's exit from the villa with immediate effect.

But, as she casually flirted with Zach on Monday night, people now think it could be Whitney he ends up with, with body language guru, Darren Stanton, speaking on behalf of Betfair, thinking Zach is very much into her as well. Having watched Sunday's show, he said: "“There is definitely chemistry between Zach and Whitney. Zach couldn’t stop looking at her when she was dancing with the other boys. He had his arms stretched out, which showed he wanted attention from her. He also licked his lips, which is a flirty gesture - and he isn’t afraid to show how he’s feeling."

Darren added: "When Zach performed for Whitney, it was very passionate and heated from their body language. It was clear she wanted to kiss him on the lips, as her eyes went down and to the right - which suggests she wanted things to go further. There is definitely reciprocal chemistry between them. Meanwhile, Mehdi looked slightly awkward by their encounter."

After another intense conversation on Monday, Whitney openly questioned whether she should 'open her eyes' and 'explore her options,' even pulling newcomer Montel. However it's Zach, fans at home want her to pursue, with one tweeting: "whitney needs to apply more pressure on Zach, i think it would work" and another remarking: "Zach and Whitney would be an unstoppable coupling"
