Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has spoken out on her relationship with Curtis Pritchard amidst speculation that the Love Island couple had called time on their relationship. Fans had been speculating about the status of their relationship after several cryptic clues on social media after Ekin shared a very interesting post.
The reality star who found fame on Love Island took to her TikTok page to share a video lip-syncing to a Pussycat Dolls song as she got ready in her bathroom. But the song in question was Beep released by the chart-mauling girl group back in 2005. The clip instantly sparked concern from fans.
In the clip, Ekin can be seen lip-syncing to the lyrics: “I keep turning them down, but they always come around, asking me to go around, that’s not the way it’s going down, ’cause they only want, only want my ah-ha-ha, only want, what they want but, na-ah-ah, na-ah-ah.”
Her upload which has been liked over 9,000 times was soon flooded with comments from fans questioning her relationship status. One fan penned: “Where is Curtis?” A second typed: “Why can’t people see Ekin and Curtis not together they have broken up.” Meanwhile a third added: “She not going to answer about Curtis cause they not together.” However, Ekin furiously hit back replying: “Jade you would be a great journalist. But sorry to disappoint you but we are together.”
Another supported Ekin, writing: “God forbid she makes a couple TikToks on her own the world thinks she’s broke up with Curtis.” Meanwhile one added that Ekin and Curtis had posted on another social media platform that they were enjoying a romantic date at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant.
Her cryptic upload came after Ekin appeared to take aim at her ex-boyfriend, Married At First Sight UK star Georges Berthonneau – implying that he was “obsessed” with her. 31-year-old Georges claimed that Ekin had left him heartbroken after she “cheated on him” during her appearance on Love Island All Stars, where she met professional dancer Curtis.
Ekin and Georges were first linked together in November last year but kept their relationships underwraps and according to him, they even had an agreement in place for when she returned to the ITV dating programme. In an interview, he said he and Ekin agreed to her returning to the show in order to “boost” her career.
According to Georges, he and Ekin-Su were together for 10 months before she shared steamy moments with Curtis on Love Island, with the agreement being that she couldn’t go further than “kissing” anyone. “It was a super, super intense and intimate relationship…
“We had a lot of intimacy, we were very close, and physically and emotionally we showed each other such love, but she threw everything we had away for her TV romance with Curtis Pritchard,” he told the Daily Mail, adding that they spent holidays together and met each other’s family members.
Georges added: “I feel so used. The devil on her shoulder is always money, money, money, brand deals, she just wants to be the most known person and that’s all she cares about.”
Despite the former couple being in “floods of tears” when Ekin-Su left to head to South Africa, Georges said that she soon betrayed his trust when on the show. “It’s a fact she cheated on me with him, she was on national TV and said yes to being another man’s girlfriend,” he said.
But a spokesperson for Ekin-Su has shut down the allegations of cheating and insisted that she wasn’t in an exclusive relationship with Georges. In a statement, they said: “He knew before she went on Love Island: All Stars that she was entering the show as a single person and therefore their relationship would not continue under those circumstances.
“Ekin was upfront with Georges about her intention to pursue a new relationship on Love Island.” They added that Ekin made it “clear” on several occasions that their relationship was to end.
