But after Harriett’s entrance as a bombshell, old feelings have resurfaced, with Ronnie getting noticeably jealous when she admitted she’s been with other men since him. 

Ekin-Su also caused trouble when she confronted Ronnie about chis laims that his time with Harriett was a 'showmance'.

On Monday’s episode, Ronnie admitted he was in love with Harriett, much to the annoyance of Elma, who has cut ties with him. 

As Ronnie declared his love, telling Harriett he “always loved her”, it seemed he was willing to put the work in to win her back.

"I want to do this so different to last time, and I mean that," he told her.

But fans have noticed a “tell” from him as he pokes out this tongue while he talks – and some think it's a sign he could be lying.

Taking to X, one viewer wrote: “Why does Ronnie always stick his tongue out when talking?” “Ronnie needs to stop doing that tongue thing,” complained another. “I don’t even know what to call it - it’s making me feel weird.” 

“I think Ronnie has a nervous tick with his tongue,” wrote a third. 

A fourth noted: “Maybe Ronnie sticks his tongue out when he’s lying cause where has this come from OR is it when he’s being honest it has to be something.” 

“Ronnie moves his tongue around when he lies.”

But that might not entirely be the case, with others believing it’s a “nervous tick” and body language expert Judi James believing it’s his “biggest non-verbal ‘tell’ that he’s fully in it. 

Speaking exclusively to , Judi said: "When he fancies someone or gets told off (both of which he enjoys), his tongue performs a corner-of-the-mouth lick like the cat that got the cream.

“It’s Ronnie’s version of a purr. But when Ronnie’s ‘in love,’ his tongue works overtime, flicking about inside his mouth with the tip protruding to trace along the length of his lips.

“The speed of that tongue showed signs of agitation as he built his plotline and made his love moves as quickly as possible.” 

"Even Ekin-Su would have been impressed by his dramatic declaration on the balcony, well within earshot of Elma and her posse of girls,” she added. 

"Ekin-Su might be the drama-choreographing queen of Love Island, but Ronnie’s Shakespearean stunt proves she’s got competition.”

Love Island All Stars continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
