'They bring out the best in each other'

Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu and Davide Sanclimenti might not have had the smoothest of rides since meeting in the Love Island villa, but their best pals Mabel and Haz think the couple are genuinely into each other and could be in it for the long haul.

The pair were grilled on The Murad Merali Podcast about their friends, and what it's been like to handle their social media accounts since they've been away, which have even included scary death threats for Ekin-Su.

Chatting on the podcast, Mabel, who hilariously revealed she met Ekin-Su, 27, in a hot tub at a party, said, "Certain people take this show way too seriously. They take it like it's life and death.

"I have seen the worst DMs on Instagram, and I couldn't believe it. What's worse is that some of these are kids. If they're not children, they're grown, adults. It's so confusing."

When Mabel got to the stage where she couldn't ignore the trolling any longer, she decided to start contacting schools and other organisations that are associated with the message senders.

She said, "I messaged schools, I messaged football teams, I messaged gymnastics clubs. And if it was the parents, I'm 100% calling all of them out - I don't care, I'm actually calling them out for the way they speak.

"If you don't like someone, that's fine, but there's a way to say you don't like someone. Some of them were sending death threats – ‘We’re going to kill you, we’re going to come and find you.’

“I was just like, ‘It’s just a game show, what is wrong with you people?!’ But yeah, they take it too seriously.”
