As if fans weren't in love with him already, Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has just revealed himself as an Ekin-Su supporter, after publicly congratulating her on her Love Island win.
The beloved reality star left the Love Island villa last night (1 August) with Davide Sanclimenti on her arm and £50,000 in her pocket, after successfully keeping ITV viewers thoroughly entertained for the past eight weeks.
Ekin and Davide were up against fellow islanders Gemma Owen and Luca Bish when it came down to the final, but the public vote shot the Italian stallion and the Turkish delight to the top spot.

After the exhilarating final, Ekin – along with the other Love Island finalists – was given back her mobile phone for the first time in eight weeks.
Posting to her now 1.6 million-strong following, the actor wrote: "OMG OMG Thank you All!! We appreciate you so much."
Ekin-Su's new fans flooded the comment section of her post to congratulate her and Davide on their iconic win - and we couldn't help but notice some famous faces among the crowd.
Winter Love Island star Shaughna Phillips wrote: "We were ready to riot! Sooooooooo happy for you both!!!!!!!", while season six star Natalia Zoppa added: "Well deserved! Faves".
And Noah, who plays Will Byers in Netflix's sci-fi drama Stranger Things, commented: "Yes!!!"
Fans of both TV shows were mind-blown by the crossover, and couldn't stop themselves from replying to Noah's comment.
"Omg he’s an Ekinde stan!!" one thrilled follower wrote.
"As if Noah is a Love Island fan," laughed a second.
"The fact Noah watches Love Island just gives me life," admitted a third.
Despite the surprise to some fans, this isn't the first time Noah has exposed himself as a Love Island fanatic.
Last month, one eagle-eyed fan spotted that Noah has also popped up on Jacques O'Neill's Instagram.
In a photo that was posted back in March 2020, Noah can be seen leaving a fresh comment that simply read: "Hi".
The comment was spotted by someone on Reddit, who shared a post and included a screengrab.
They wrote: "This is super random but I was searching through Jacques' instagram to see if he still had any pictures with Gemma up, and I noticed that Noah Schnapp had commented on his post from March 2020, 9 hours ago!! I didn't know he was a fan of LI."
It got even better when Jacques' social media handler, who took care of his Instagram account while he was in the villa, replied to Noah's rogue comment, writing back: "Hi Noah."
Might we see Noah get to know some of the Love Island cast mates now that they're all out of the villa?
Or, better yet, could Ekin-Su make a cameo in the final season of Stranger Things? We think she'd be up for it!
