It had been reported Ekin-Su had moved on from her Love Island ex Davide Sanclimenti with Peter.

And she had the last laugh after she beat Davide to a spot in the coveted CBB line-up.

A source told us: "Davide was desperate to do CBB and had been plaguing ITV to get some face time with bosses in a bid to convince them he'd be the perfect fit for the show.

"Unfortunately ITV weren't interested so didn't meet him - they always had their sights set on Ekin instead.

"When Davide got wind in the press that Ekin had signed up following their split, he was livid.

"He's always had some insecurities over her being a bigger star after Love Island than him, especially after she went on to land spots on Dancing On Ice and then the The Traitors. His ego has taken a real bruising."
