Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has been reportedly branded 'disloyal' by her best friend as the pair have explosive fall out.
The Love Island icon, 30, was pals with Mabel Asojo before finding fame on the hit ITV dating show in 2022.
But now Ekin-Su and Mable have unfollowed each other on social media and sources have claimed that the pair are no longer friends.
Addressing the fall out on Instagram, Mabel shared a post which read: 'To everyone flooding my inbox with updates and questions, save it.
'We are not friends - I don't need to write an unsold self help book on loyalty for someone who can't even grasp how to be a decent human.

'I don't deal with liars, cheaters, bullies, or narcissists. So please stop involving me. Consider this your final update. I hope she discovers peace.
'It just won't be through me.'
Mabel then followed up with a screengrab of one of Ekin-Su's pals defending the star, while taking a swipe at her.
Ekin-Su's friend claimed: 'Imagine smiling to someone's face, claiming you were best friends, then selling stories behind their back - and trying to turn me against her too.
'That's next level snake behaviour. She's real, loyal and solid and she doesn't deserve the lies.
'Some people will do anything for attention. Glad we know who the rat was all along in the friendship circle.'
Taking a swipe at former friend Ekin, Mabel captioned it: 'Wish you both the best,' with a smiling face sunglasses emoji.
A source has told The Sun that the reality star's pals believe that 'fame has gone to her head' and their friendship group is currently 'at war'.
Addressing the fall out on Instagram, Mabel said: 'We are not friends - I don't need to write an unsold self help book on loyalty for someone who can't even grasp how to be a decent human. I don't deal with liars, cheaters, bullies, or narcissists'
They told the publication: 'Ekin-Su's friendship circle is at war. They've fallen out in a major clash and there is a big division between the group.
'The fallout worsened after Ekin-Su's stint on All Stars, one of her long term friends has cut ties with her.
'One of her pals is not happy with her behaviour and has called her out for it. They've tried to be a good friend to her but think fame has gone to her head and she's changed for the worse.
'Right now they've washed their hands of her and think she's been a narcissist and disloyal in a bid to further her career.'
But another insider said Ekin-Su is not fully to blame.
They shared: 'Ekin-Su has been under a lot of stress, those closest to her have unfairly turned their back on her. Ekin has always been a good friend and they should have had her back.'
MailOnline have contacted Ekin-Su's representatives for comment.
While Ekin was in the ITV villa, Mabel, who met the Turkish actress at a hot tub party, ran her social media account and she became the first of that year's stars to hit a million followers.
The girls often appeared on each other's Instagram accounts but they have since deleted any trace of each other.
Meanwhile, Ekin, who has starred on All Stars, Celebrity Big Brother and Dancing On Ice, currently seems happier than ever after finding love with Curtis Pritchard on the Love Island spin-off series.
It comes weeks after Ekin was left humiliated after being sensationally thrown out of the official BAFTA afterparty following the star-studded television awards.
She was among dozens of influencers who were invited by the show's sponsors P&O Cruises to attend the three-hour ceremony at the 2,700-seater Royal Festival Hall in London.
But crucially Ekin-Su was not invited to the exclusive dinner and BAFTA afterparty following the ceremony.
However, that did not stop the 30 year-old chancing her luck and sneaking into the swanky dinner service.
While A-listers like Damian Lewis, Alison Steadman, David Tennant, Billie Piper, and James Corden were chowing down on their luxury three-course meal, Ekin-Su was forced to walk around the venue with no seat at the illustrious dinner.
An onlooker told the Mail: 'Ekin-Su was aimlessly wandering around while all the real stars were seated at the bash having dinner. It was actually quite tragic to witness.'
'She tried to blend in with the crowd, but was eventually spotted without a dinner invitation by BAFTA's security team and was asked to leave. It was so humiliating.'
Sources close to Ekin-Su maintain that she was, in fact, trying to find her way out at the time.
It meant the reality star missed out on much of the late-night revelling with celebrities taking to the dancefloor to party into the early hours, while they drank Taittinger champagne and high end cocktails.
