Love Island fans think Curtis and Ekin-Su's 'romance' is all for show

They are getting VERY close!

Author: Alex RossPublished 16th Jan 2025

We may only be four days in to the brand new series of Love Island: All Stars, but already two bombshells have landed to stir up drama, including Love Island QUEEN Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu! In true Ekin fashion, the Turkish actress wasted no time, choosing to couple up with professional dancer Curtis Pritchard, in turn leaving Kaz Crossley single.

Whilst the pair have only been coupled up for two days, Ekin and Curtis have already enjoyed a few snogs on the terrace, as well as kissing and cuddling in bed, and of course, Curtis has made Ekin a number of his famous morning coffees...

During the episode last night (Wednesday 15th January), the pair also had some deep chats, where they expressed their admiration for one another, despite Curtis later admitting to Kaz he's still keen to get to know her as well.

HOWEVER, after seeing how touchy feel Curtis and Ekin have been in such a short space of time, many viewers are convinced they are putting on a 'show' for the cameras.

One wrote: 'That kiss seems so forced 😮', with another adding: 'Ekin and Curtis I don’t believe it. I just don’t #LoveIslandAllStars'. Somebody else commented: 'Can’t help but think Curtis and Ekin just know how to act and it’s a showmance rather than the real deal'. (sic)

Another gasped: 'Do they have the same management or what? Cos she’s not his type', with another adding: 'Ekin is playing for cameras anyone can see that. She is so professional'. (sic)

Despite saying during her stint on Celebrity Big Brother last year that she wanted to leave her Love Island association behind her, Ekin-Su rocked up as the first bombshell on this year's All Stars series, following her split from Davide Sanclimenti.

Speaking about why she's returned, 30-year-old Ekin said: "I want to return to Love Island again because it’s where my journey started and has a special place in my heart. It’s somewhere I’ve laughed, cried and learnt so much. The fact that there's an opportunity to do it again - why not! Why can’t a winner go back in and re-write her story and have a second chance?! I think you should follow your gut and my gut is telling me to go back, so I’m listening to it."

Admitting she's looking for someone to be her biggest cheerleader, she added: "I’m looking for someone who isn’t overly self-obsessed and someone that’s aware of flaws, because we all have them. I’d like a man that will love me when I’m in the worst mood possible but still understands why and has no judgments. I’d like someone supportive, I don’t care about looks and money - I want someone to be my biggest cheerleader."
