Amber Beckford reveals villa’s biggest PLAYER…and it’s not who you think

But it kind of makes sense...

At this point, we're seriously debating adding an 'Amber Beckford' button to our website navigation bar; the Love Island queen has been spilling so much tea since she was dumped from the villa we're starting to think she doesn't know how mugs work.

That being said, she definitely knows how her own mug works. Just look at that beat face...

The 24-year-old Londoner recently joined Closer for an episode of Love Island Secrets - alongside Ikenna Ekwonna, and we're fairly convinced the pair are going to get married one day and we'll at least get an invite to the evening reception - where she covered everything from producers keeping Islanders on 'edge' to whether she'd ever date Ikenna. FYI, we're not dropping this one; we're going to keep putting it out into the universe until we get a Save The Date (with a plus one, so we can bring Davide, ideally).

During the chat, we asked Amber who she thought the villa's biggest player is (excluding the new Casa Amor babes, who let's face it are all giving off MAJOR player vibes) and like the millions of other huns watching this year's Love Island, we anticipated her to say, "Ekin-Su". So that's the "it's not who you think" part.

No, instead of branding Ekin-Su the villa's biggest player, Amber targeted Ekin's former fling, Jay Younger - and we have to say her reasoning made us think (about something other than his washboard abs for fifteen seconds).

Amber said, "[Ekin-Su] is being so obvious about it – everyone knows she’s playing a game."

Okay, so she did come for Ekin-Sun a little, but we're pretty sure Ekin-Su eats up comments like this for breakfast.

Amber continued, "But I feel like actually an undercover player is Jay. He knew that [Ekin-Su] was going to leave her couple the easiest out of all of us girls.

"Every time he spoke to us it was like an interview."

Amber isn't exactly the first Love Island gal to raise an eyebrow at Jay. In a recent edition of heat's Under the Duvet, Love Island Season 7 star Chloe Burrows revealed that that Jay is just in the villa for the money. When asked who Jay would go for in the villa, she said, "Jay wants that £50k, so whoever will have him, he'll go for."

She then asked, "Did you not hear him? 'What's your strategy?'" making clear that he had a clear plan when entering the villa.

Later she added, "If you shoot don't miss, but there he is shooting at everybody."

While we're thinking about it; Universe, please introduce Amber and Chloe so they can start a savage podcast together.

Jay, no shade, you just got a lot more interesting; you're no Amber (and you're certainly not worthy of your own button on our website navigation bar), but we're keeping an eye on you now.
