Watch awkward moment Love Island’s Curtis makes Ekin-Su blush with very cheeky comment in recoupling
EKIN-SU was left blushing last night on All Stars after Curtis Pritchard said a very cheeky comment during last night’s recoupling.
The former Love Island 2022 winner, 30, and the 2019 Islander, 28, have been getting steaming since they first got together on Day Two.
Ekin-Su made her entrance as a bombshell during the launch show, and immediately stole Curtis Pritchard from Kaz Crossley, 29.
Last night, the Islanders all faced the first offical recoupling, as the previous one only involved Ekin and Curtis.
As the cast switched up their couples, Curtis chose to stick with his girl.
After he made a speech about why he wanted to couple up with Ekin, he could be heard telling her that she makes him feel “excited”.
This awkward moment didn’t go unnoticed by fans, with one saying: “Ew! Curtis is getting excited!”
Another added: “Did anyone else hear what Curtis just said about being excited??!”
This one quipped: “Calm down Curtis! Don’t get too excited!”
This is the second recoupling for the pair, after Ekin stole Curtis from Kaz at the beginning of the week.
As she was the first bombshell, she was given the option to steal a man after going on three dates.
Many thought she would go for Scott Thomas after the pair appeared to have some chemistry.
However Islanders and viewers alike were left reeling when she picked Curtis.
Fans quickly pointed out the connection between Ekin-Su and Curtis’ ex, Maura Higgins.
The Dancing on Ice star revealed during a chat with Curtis that she not only knows Maura but lives in the same block of flats as her.
Viewers then branded her move on Curtis a violation of ‘girl code’, and accused her of only picking him to cause controversy.
Taking to Instagram, one person declared: “Curtis needs to run—she is playing the game.”
Another added: “Anyone else feel she only couple up with Curtis because he was with Maura? Is it not strange that she lives in the same block as her and then went for her ex!!!”
A third speculated: “My Love Island theory is that Ekin Su who said she knows Maura probably has beef with her, so she is pursuing her ex Curtis to get back at her lol.”
A fourth raged: “Why all the clips are about Ekin? She’s a major game player.”
Ekin-Su’s choice came after a candid conversation with Curtis, where they discussed his past relationships.
The pro-dancer admitted he’d had three girlfriends, including Maura, who he dated for nine months after meeting on Love Island.
The couple then split in 2020 after rumours that Curtis cheated on the Irish beauty, which he has denied.
He has admitted that their relationship is currently very strained, adding: “I’ve seen her a couple of times and she’s completely blanked me!”
