LOVE Island fans are convinced they've sussed the real meaning behind Ciaran Davies' declaration of love.
The rugby hunk, 21, told partner Nicole Samuel, 24, he loved her during an sweet moment in bed.
Nicole returned the favour and is now blissfully happy, after the pair agreed to be closed off earlier in the series.
Yet some Love Island viewers have been left hugely sceptical by the sweet moment.
They reckon with the return of spin-off villa Casa Amor, Ciaran was being strategic with his choice of words.

One took to X to remark: "Me while Nicole and Ciaran’s love declaration goes around the villa knowing he’s probably going to break her heart during Casa."
A second put: "Ciaran and Nicole were closed off after basically a week and now they are saying 'i love u' right before Casa?!? lmaoo."
A third then remarked: "NICOLE AND CIARAN SAID LOVE YOU??? OH CASA IS GONNA BE GOOOOOOOOD."
One ITV2 viewer then surmised: "As for Ciaran saying he loves Nicole - that just proves to me that he'll play away at Casa and at this point who would really blame him after the way in which Nicole has treated him lately.
"Ciaran deserves to win the 50k on his own."
SHOW SHOCK
Fans have previously insisted Ciaran is "not for" Nicole after the pair hit a series of bumps in the road.
Nicole was called out by fans for "shaming" her man after he revealed he had bedded more than 100 women.
He followed up this confession by stating he'd slept with a 48 year old when he was just 18, again leaving her less than impressed.
Fans were then quick to call for Nicole to be axed after they dubbed her the "most annoying" contestant.

It came after she became upset during the Heart Rate challenge, when it was revealed how Grace's sexy routine had turned him on the most.
Ciaran denied he felt anything romantic towards the Manchester model.
Yet tensions spilled over as Nicole told him: "You clearly do.
"I don't blame you because she's absolutely gorgeous, she's stunning.
"But it's just not nice to hear, imagine if mine [heart rate result] was for somebody else, I didn't even doubt mine."
