EKIN WHO?
Furious model at centre of Ekin-Su and Davide’s split slams Turkish actress for ‘playing the victim’
Ekin-Su's fans have been branding the model a 'homewrecker' since the Love Island star announced her split from Davide
THE OnlyFans model at the centre of Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti’s split has hit out at the Love Island star for needlessly dragging her into the fallout.
Sylvija Vasilevska told in an exclusive interview how Italian model Davide simply hit like on a few of her Instagram snaps — which prompted his fellow reality show winner to fly off the handle.

Ekin-Su revealed on Monday that she and Davide had split.
Her fans have since been trolling Sylvija, branding the blonde a “homewrecker”.
Lithuanian Sylvija had met Davide as part of a group of people in Manchester, where they both live, before his 2022 appearance on the ITV show.
She said: “I feel like Ekin is trying to play the victim in this and I’m this evil porn star who has stolen her man — who I’ve never properly met.

"I’m in shock.”
The social media star, who has more than a million followers on Instagram, continued: “He’s liked a few of my stories.
"I’m so confused as to where this has come from.
"She’s convinced I’m the girl (that broke them up), but I am not.

“Luckily I’m single. Imagine trying to explain this to someone you’re seeing? It’s such a random thing.
“All I’ve done is liked his picture. It was completely innocent.
"Of course Ekin is upset but it’s got nothing to do with me.”
Opening up about the trolling, she said: “I just wish Ekin had sent me a direct message. I could have cleared all this mess up
“But she’s liking tweets about me which indicates to her fans that he did cheat with me, which prompted messages calling me trash and a homewrecker.
“I’m so angry to have been dragged into this.
"No offence to them but I couldn’t care less about their relationship.
“I would never go near a guy who has a girlfriend.”
Maybe Davide should have kept his “likes” to himself . . .
IT’S ‘NO MORE BULLS**T’
JUST days after announcing her split from Davide, feisty Ekin-Su hinted at a decisive new chapter in her life.
She said: “I feel like every year I know myself more.
“I don’t tolerate bulls**t – I’ve got boundaries, I’m a stronger person than I ever was.
"I have a closer, smaller friendship group.
“I don’t say yes to everything any more. I’m embracing being more of a mature version of myself. I love it, and I think it’s sexy.”
Ekin revealed that taking part in The Traitors US last year, alongside ex Speaker of the House John Bercow, taught her a lot about what she wants out of life.
In the frank interview promoting her BPerfect Cosmetics, she continued: “The Traitors changed me in a good way . . . realising life is too short and to treasure your loved ones and see your family as much as you can.
"I’m 30 this year. I need to get my shizzle together.”
After gaining a fanbase in the States, Ekin now has her sights set on Hollywood.
She said: “America is lovely and if there are ever work opportunities there, I wouldn’t turn them down. Follow your dreams.”
BRIDGERTWO
I TOLD last year how Bridgerton hunk Luke Newton was looking for love on celeb dating app Raya after splitting with West End actress Jade Davies.
However, fans have been speculating that the actor, who plays Colin Bridgerton in the sexy Netflix period drama, has found love on the set of his own show with Claudia Jessie, who plays his sister Eloise.

They were seen looking cosy at a New York Knicks basketball game last week while on a trip to the Big Apple.
But their publicist has insisted they are just “good friends”.
Sorry to slam dunk the fan theory.
DAN WALKER has revealed that he still keeps in touch with his Strictly pro partner Nadiya Bychkova.
Channel 5 presenter Dan, who finished fifth on the show in 2021, said: “I still see Nadiya every now and again.
"We go out for dinner and we have mutual friends so it is nice to stay in touch but not have to train three million hours a week.”
Ukrainian pro Nadiya grew close to fellow skater Kai Widdrington on the 2021 series, before the couple confirmed their romance the following year.
DUA GETS PHYSICAL FOR GRAMMYS
DUA LIPA still has flex appeal – even in a tracksuit – as she prepares for her headline performance at tonight’s Grammy awards.
The singer, who will belt out her Barbie movie hit Dance The Night on stage at the Crypto.com Arena in LA, posted a video of her in training with a team of dancers.

It remains to be seen whether she will bring her new beau, actor Callum Turner, to the glitzy event after the pair were snapped together last month.
Other Brits nominated for top awards include Ed Sheeran, Arctic Monkeys and Fred Again.
Good luck, gang.
PAUL McCARTNEY rocked up in LA yesterday just a day before the Grammys, which was great timing since The Beatles are nominated for Best Music Video for Revolver track I’m Only Sleeping.
If it wins, director Em Cooper will pick up the gong.
Throughout their time together, The Beatles scooped seven Grammys. Maybe Macca can’t resist a celebration.
SHE will always be a star in my eyes.
But Kylie Minogue says she now recognises herself as one following her hit Padam Padam last year.
Asked if she considers herself an icon, she replied: “Sometimes.
"When I saw the hero shot in the Padam video, I knew I was feeling it. I went, ‘This feels good’.”
All hail Queen Kylie.
WEDDING BARRAGE FOR PAUL
LIL Boo Thang hitmaker Paul Russell has revealed he is being inundated with requests to play at weddings.
It’s hardly surprising considering the track, which has gone viral on TikTok, is one of the catchiest songs in the charts.

Paul told me: “There is not as much happy music coming out now.
“When you go to a wedding or someone’s prom or something, there is not a celebratory song that people are playing from recent years.
"So, for me, it is making stuff to fill that void.
“I have got so many ‘come and perform at my wedding’ requests. It is insane.”
However US star Paul, who released latest tune Say Cheese last month, admitted he was nervous about putting Lil Boo Thang out on TikTok – where it has had more than 11million views.
He said: “I was hesitant. There are a lot of artists who are like, ‘That feels too promo’. I held out for a while.
“Then I met this college kid who was really into it.”
DATING SNUBS MIGHTY RUDE
SHE found fame on Love Island in 2018, but Samira Mighty says she still gets “ghosted” – a Gen-Z term for ignored – after dates.
The rising pop star said: “I have dated people and it has gone really well and you think they are so into you.

"Then they ghost you.
"That happened to me recently. It is disgusting. I deserve better.”
Samira, whose songs have been played on the ITV dating show, revealed writing her new track Broke Me Good, from her debut EP Dancefloors And Drama Vol. 1, was a form of therapy.
She said: “It kind of helped because that was exactly how I was feeling at the time. Broke Me Good was that you have broken me down so much I can’t actually feel anything any more.”

Samira added: “I am an advocate for standing up for yourself, and men are trash sometimes, so the whole Taylor Swift era – that is what I am in.
"Sad, hot girl pop is what I like to call it.”
