Celebrity Big Brother SPOILER: Ekin-Su Culculoglu reveals the real reason behind her split from ex-Love Island boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti

Ekin-Su Culculoglu opened up about her recent breakup with her former Love Island boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti during Wednesday night’s Celebrity Big Brother.

The TV personality, 29, who met Davide on the ITV2 dating show, confirmed she had split from the Italian businessman, also 29, last month, for the second time, as she blamed a “rollercoaster” of ups and downs” in their romance.

Now Ekin-Su has revealed that their romance ran into trouble because she “was more interested in him” than he was in her.

However, the reality star said it wasn’t until Davide really ‘hurt’ her that they ended the relationship for good.

Speaking to Marisha Wallace in the bedroom, Ekin-Su asked: ‘They always tell me that men should like women more. That’s right?’

Marisha replied: ‘I think so. Always.’

Ekin-Su admitted: “That’s the mistake I made.”

The Broadway actress asked: “Did you like him better?”, prompting the former Dancing On Ice star to respond: “I think so.”

Marisha went on to ask the influencer what made her leave the relationship for good, and Ekin-Su revealed, “Let’s just say he hurt me.”

Ekin-Su first separated from Davide in June 2023 but they reconciled just two months later, enjoying a romantic getaway to Turkey, where Ekin-Su’s parents are welcome.

Fans have even speculated that the couple’s breakup is just for show, and they will both appear on Love Island: All Stars and get back together dramatically.

On her Instagram Story on Tuesday, the former Dancing On Ice contestant wrote: ‘The last 18 months have been a roller coaster of ups and downs, like any relationship.

‘Davide and I wanted this to work because we cared deeply about each other. Unfortunately, I recently made the decision to end our relationship and go our separate ways.

‘Breakups are never easy. For any couple. And we hope that our privacy is respected. I enjoyed our time together and the memories we made.

‘Thank you for your continued support. It’s been wonderful having them follow our Love Island journeys together from the villa and we hope they continue to follow our careers as we head off in our own directions. Love always, Ekin-Su.’

Davide posted his own statement that same day also on his Instagram story, and used the same font and colors as Ekin-Su.

He wrote: ‘Life sometimes reserves surprises and suddenly wakes you up… Ekin and I, right after the ski holiday, decided to go different ways. “It was a joint decision, but I was waiting to make it public to respect his time on the program.”

Hinting at foul play on Ekin-Su’s part, he said: “I don’t know why the agreed statement changed at the last minute but he continued: “I agree, it was a beautiful story even with its ups and downs like all couples.”

‘I loved every moment, from the first time I met her at the Villa to life outside. I really believed in us and saw a future for us.

‘But sometimes in life people need to distance themselves. It’s just the direction of life. “I will treasure our moments forever.”

He signed off saying, “Now it’s time to focus on myself.” I love you all always, thank you for the unconditional support you all showed me from the beginning. David.’
