In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday’s Fabulous magazine, Ekin-Su said her phone went missing while she was on a date with a man she had met on the dating app Tinder.
Following the date, Ekin-Su revealed that the man turned up at her house with a brand new phone.
She said: “It should have been a red flag that it wasn’t in the box, but I was thinking ‘He’s spoiling me, he loves me’.”
Ekin-Su said she started to use the phone while occasionally talking to the man following their date.

“I tried to ignore it but the emails kept coming and one said: ‘If you don’t reply I’m going to email this friend with a private chat you had about them behind their back’.
