Love Island Ekin-Su and Curtis' true motive for split after 'tough decision'
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard have split up months after falling (and fighting) for each other on Love Island: All Stars Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard recently confirmed they went their separate ways after dating for only a few months. The two appeared on Love Island: All Stars together and quickly and intensely fell for each other, leaving fans baffled as they fought and made up (and made out) every few minutes. Upon leaving the South African villa, the two appeared at a number of events and shared a few snaps of them posing together, but speculation soon started growing on whether they broke up as they failed to post any photos together online. And now, after weeks of concern, Ekin-Su confirmed they're now single as she shared the 'tough decision' behind their split in a statement. Ekin-Su said they had decided to "go [their] separate ways" and that it had been a "tough decision". Her statement read: "I wanted to share that Curtis and I have decided to go our separate ways. It's been a really tough decision, but one made with a lot of love and respect for one another. "He's an incredible person and I'll always cherish the memories we made both in and out of the villa. Thank you all so much for the love and support over the past few months. "We're both focusing on navigating this transition and would really appreciate privacy during this time. Love always, Ekin-Su xX." Although Ekin-Su didn't give a straightforward reason for their split, she had been the centre of drama between Curtis and MAFS star Georges Berthonneau in recent weeks. The Married At First Sight star previously alleged he was in a relationship with the brunette beauty while she was dating Curtis. Speaking on Fubar Radio, Georges claimed: "On the day before my birthday, she was out with him that night, and they'd had an argument. "She was messaging me whilst he was asleep in bed with her being like, I need to see you. Blah, blah, blah, like, I've got the receipts on my phone." He added: "Everyone was like 'why are you saying it now?', because I loved the girl and I didn't want to let go of it. And my biggest thing was, why should I keep protecting someone who can't even apologise or take accountability." He continued: "I even said to her on the phone, I was like 'are you not going to apologise?' You had sex with another man whilst I was at home. And you're not even going to apologise." Curtis later broke his silence and told The Sun: "Hey, if he wants to get in the ring with me, tell him to call me out and let's get in the ring. I've just been focusing on the camp. I haven't read anything or done anything, truthfully. And that's all that matters to me. I'm focusing on the camp, I'm focusing on having fun with Ekin and that's all that matters to me."

Tracy Beaker star makes surprising career move after book confession
The Story of Tracy Beaker star Dani Harmer has made a shock confession about the Jacqueline Wilson books that made her famous while revealing her surprising career move ' The Story of Tracy Beaker ' was a beloved British television show originally adapted from Jacqueline Wilson 's book of the same name. The show ran for five seasons from 2002 to 2005 and was adored by children nationwide. Dani Harmer, who played Tracy Beaker, has also been featured in numerous adaptations and spin-offs, portraying a care worker in Tracy Beaker Returns and a mother in The Beaker Girls. Harmer is renowned for her role as Tracy, and in the most recent season of the Beaker spin-off, The Dumping Ground, she not only made a cameo in but also made her directing debut. Surprisingly, Dani Harmer, who famously played Tracy Beaker, has admitted on TikTok that she's never actually read the original Tracy Beaker book, not even to this day. Despite becoming synonymous with the character, Harmer has said that the book simply wasn't part of her preparation or personal reading, and she even asked to 'borrow' her friend's book to go to the audition. Before her directorial debut, she shadowed The Dumping Ground directors before taking charge herself. She expressed that it was hard to take charge, but she felt comfortable directing the episode after 10 minutes behind the camera. Commenting on the new series, Dani told the BBC: 'It is so good to be back and making a cameo as Tracy, she's been a part of my life for over 20 years now, but I'd quite happily play her forever!' Despite her sporadic reappearance on Beaker spin-offs, Dani Harmer is also a mother to two children, who don't seem to quite understand how influential Dani's character really is. Dani, now 36, recently revealed that her eight-year-old daughter, Avarie-Belle, wasn't impressed with the original TV series. Speaking to Fubar Radio, Dani explained that her daughter was now old enough to watch the Tracy Beaker spinoffs, but had nothing good to say about the original, which her mum starred in. Dani explained: 'She (Avarie-Belle) loves all the Jacqueline Wilson books. She continued: "She's read Tracy Beaker, actually….. She's watched quite a lot of The Dumping Ground, and I tried to show her a bit of Tracy Beaker, but she was like, 'Mum, this is really boring.' I was like, 'how dare you!'. Hopefully, she'll sit down and watch the OG series one day.' Besides acting, Dani branched into the world of music back in 2008 after signing an impressive £3 million record deal with Universal. However, despite recording her debut album, 'Superheroes,' it was never released, and Dani later confirmed she had given up on her music career. Now, Dani continues to appear on British TV while also running her own performing arts academy, the Dani Harmer Academy. The academy, which is certified by the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA), offers classes for adults and children who want to develop their skills and confidence on and off screen.

She re-entered the Love Island villa in January for the All Stars spin-off and found love with Curtis. They have been going strong ever since, however, George threw a spanner in the works as he has been dissing Ekin-Su. He alleged he was in a relationship with the brunette beauty while she was dating Curtis. Speaking on Fubar Radio, George claimed: "On the day before my birthday, she was out with him that night, and they'd had an argument. "She was messaging me whilst he was asleep in bed with her being like, I need to see you. Blah, blah, blah, like, I've got the receipts on my phone." He added: "Everyone was like 'why are you saying it now?', because I loved the girl and I didn't want to let go of it. "And my biggest thing was, why should I keep protecting someone who can't even apologise or take accountability." He continued: "I even said to her on the phone, I was like 'are you not going to apologise?' "You had sex with another man whilst I was at home. And you're not even going to apologise." Dancer-turned-boxer Curtis has now had his say and called it all "outside noise" while telling George to give him a call and "get in the ring". He told The Sun: "Hey, if he wants to get in the ring with me, tell him to call me out and let's get in the ring. I've just been focusing on the camp. I haven't read anything or done anything, truthfully. And that's all that matters to me. "I'm focusing on the camp, I'm focusing on having fun with Ekin and that's all that matters to me." Curtis insisted he "hasn't got time" to let "outside noise" get to him. He added that he "can't be bothered with the whole situation" except thinking of himself, Ekin-Su and fighting. Curtis previously said he wanted to fight Ekin-Su's ex-partner Davide in the boxing ring. Being interviewed at a boxing event, Curtis was asked: 'Do you have any names of people you would like to call out?' To which he replied: 'I've got a couple but I'm not gonna say everyone. But I'll give you two names. Sammy [Root] from my series of Love Island just gone, because I know that he boxes and so I know that he would perhaps look to do it. 'And then Davide, which is Ekin's ex, because I know he never treated her well, so that would be an interesting one.' Curtis make his professional boxing debut on May 16 as part of a Misfits Boxing card.

Ekin-Su messaged her ex while in bed with Curtis Pritchard, MAFS star Georges claims
Married At First Sight UK star Georges Berthonneau has claimed Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu messaged him while she was lying beside her partner Curtis Pritchard Georges Berthonneau has boldly claimed Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu messaged him while she was in bed with Curtis Pritchard. The Married At First Sight UK star claims the former Love Island bombshell slid into his DMs while Curtis lay beside her. Georges claimed Ekin-Su and Curtis had been involved in an argument before the alleged messages - and insisted he is happy to show Curtis the conversation. Speaking to Fubar Radio, Georges said: "On the day before my birthday, she was out with him that night, and they'd had an argument. "She was messaging me whilst he was asleep in bed with her being like, I need to see you. Blah, blah, blah, like, I've got the receipts on my phone." Georges previously claimed to have had a relationship with Ekin-Su, however she denies his suggestion. Georges went as far as saying she "cheated on him" when she entered the Love Island All Stars villa. Speaking to Mail Online, Georges previously claimed they had been dating last Christmas: "We were boyfriend and girlfriend from April last year," he said. "We were with each other. We spent Boxing Day together. "She spent time with my family, she came to family events, she met my nephews, sister-in-law, uncles, everyone. I met her mum a couple of times and her brother." "We said we loved each other after six weeks of dating… I fell in love with the girl. She used to call me Bear and I called her Olive because of her olive skin and that's one of her last messages to me, 'I love you, my Bear.'" However, Ekin-Su seemingly took a subtle swipe at the reality TV star in a recent TikTok, where she twirled while removing her workout zip-up jacket to reveal a sports bra. Ekin-Su danced to Lady Gaga's Paparazzi lyrics: "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me.' She captioned the TikTok: 'It's giving obssessed.' The star even liked a few comments from her followrs. One read: "LOUDERRR!!! The pure fan behaviour baby. we got you always angel,' and another said: "SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK." After Georges broke his silence on their romance, Ekin-Su's reps said they were "never in an exclusive relationship". Her representative told MailOnline: "Ekin-Su was never in an exclusive relationship with Georges. '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.' According to her rep, Georges 'chose to remain involved with Ekin' and said "he would 'rather be the fool who waits than the one who gives up.'"

MAFS star Georges claims ex Ekin-Su messaged him while in BED with boyfriend Curtis Pritchard
MARRIED At First Sight UK star Georges Berthonneau has sensationally claimed Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu messaged him while she was in bed with Curtis Pritchard. The reality star alleged his ex slipped into his DMs the night before his birthday while Curtis was asleep beside her. 3 Georges told Fubar Radio: 'On the day before my birthday, she was out with him that night, and they'd had an argument. 'She was messaging me whilst he was asleep in bed with her being like, I need to see you. Blah, blah, blah, like, I've got the receipts on my phone.' The personal trainer, who met Ekin-Su after she messaged him on Instagram, says he's more than happy to show Curtis the messages face to face. Georges, 31. previously exposed their secret relationship and even claimed Ekin-Su "cheated on him" in the Love Island All Stars villa. He insisted they were in a serious relationship before she entered the villa – which she has denied. He told MailOnilne: 'We were boyfriend and girlfriend from April last year. We were with each other. We spent Boxing Day together.' 'She spent time with my family, she came to family events, she met my nephews, sister-in-law, uncles, everyone. I met her mum a couple of times and her brother.' He added: 'We said we loved each other after six weeks of dating… I fell in love with the girl. 'She used to call me Bear and I called her Olive because of her olive skin and that's one of her last messages to me, 'I love you, my Bear.'' Heartbroken Georges said Ekin-Su shut him out after All Stars ended. The MAFS hunk also accused the former Celebrity Big Brother housemate of using him and claims she went on All Stars to boost her profile. He went on: '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.' The pair were first spotted together in November last year, but they never went public with their romance - despite Georges claiming they were dating for seven months. She can be seen dancing to Lady Gaga 's Paparazz and writes over the top "it's giving obsessed" in an apparent swipe. The Sun has contacted a representative for Ekin-Su for comment.
