‘It’s not easy for me and Davide’

Just weeks after her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti was filmed getting into a taxi with two mystery women, Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu has admitted that having a relationship in the public eye is “not easy”.

Ekin-Su, who met Davide on the ITV2 show, has revealed exclusively to new that this alone has shown her the importance of trust.

“One thing I’ve learnt in this relationship, you have to trust your boyfriend or girlfriend because in the public eye, it’s not easy,” Ekin-Su tells us.

“Especially when people will make rumours or say things, or they see things, or things could look different from a picture. You just have to communicate with your partner, trust your partner and keep your relationship private.”

Ekin-Su, 28, was chatting to us at the launch of her new Oh Polly clothing range, one of the many collaborations the star has signed up to since she won the series with Italian business owner Davide, 27, in August this year.

And juggling these new work commitments with her relationship is also proving testing for the Turkish TV star.
