Ron, who quit the All Stars villa in a shock move this week, joined Indiyah Polack on The Morning After podcast to give his verdict.
The ex Islander admitted he was surprised to see Ekin-Su try to come between Grace and Luca - especially with the girls being friends.
Indiya said: "We saw Ekin being Ekin, she made it clear that she knows Luca and she kind of orchestrated for them [Samie and Luca] to have a conversation and get everyone out of the way."
Former Gogglebox star Joe Baggs, who was also on the panel, said: "I did really rate her putting her producer hat on and saying 'no one is going near them, but the first time she did it I thought 'clever', she did it in a really clever way, the second and third time was such overkill.

"I do rate her trying to give them the opportunity to speak without the hawk Grace circling around them.
"I did think it was nice that she was trying to help but I think they took it personally and it backfired."
Ron, who has spent the last few weeks living with Ekin-Su, Luca and Grace, said
He told listeners: "The thing is with Ekin, she put her producer hat on, obviously they must have her on payroll.

"I don't know why she's doing it because your friends with Grace for the last couple of weeks, why are you trying to intervene."
Love Island slam Ekin-Su for 'stirring the pot' as she encourages Luca and Samie romance
Joe replied: "She's loyal to the mess Ron, her only loyalty is the mess."
Ron agreed and echoed: "She's loyal to the mess. FACTS, do you know what FACTS!"
He went on to say: "Do you know what, she's just been caught out with it.
"I know they've been friends since their series, but they don't speak all the time, every now and again. They're not brother and sister. Realistically her saying 'I know him', is a bit off.
But I was surprised that Luca never actually pulled her up on it. Baring in mind they're meant to be friends, I'd be questioning 'we're friends, why are you trying to ruin what I've got and why are you trying to make things worse for me'."
Indiyah played devils advocate and said her intervention may have been a way to "look out" for her mate.
But Ron added: "But you don't know whether she's going to give it to him straight, she's married to the mess, she's on payroll."
It's been an explosive few days in the villa following the aftermath of a game of spin the bottle.
Luca found himself locking horns with his villa partner Grace after choosing to snog Samie during one of the challenges.
It saw him and Grace have an almighty row after she was left fuming following the kiss.
It came after Samie made it clear she is after Luca - she even said this before going into the villa.
Last night, Ekin-Su was slammed for helping the new bombshell to steal her love interest from Grace.
During a moment on the daybeds, Luca, Samie and Ekin-Su were all seen relaxing but then the former show winner opted to get up to allow the two Islanders to have "some alone" together.
She moved to another part of the villa and called others over in order to ensure Luca and Samie remained alone.
Fans immediately hit out at Ekin's "meddling" but now fans think they have worked out the "real reason" she is stirring the pot between Luca, Samie and Grace.
They think she has a game plan as she wants to win Love Island: All Stars.
Taking to X/Twitter, one fan said: "Ekin is totally stirring things up as she just wants to win. Luca and Grace were a strong couple!"

Another added: "Ekin doesn't want them to win! Remember how Luca was voted favourite boy."
A third penned: "Why is Ekin doing this? She doesn't want her 1st to be taken by grace and Luca."
