Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has revealed that she’s still on the hunt for her dream man after recently splitting from Love Island All Stars boyfriend, Curtis Pritchard.

The 31-year-old Love Island icon, who won the show in 2022 alongside her ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti, opened up about her dating life when she spoke to The Mirror on the red carpet at the annual National Television Awards.

Model Ekin-Su, who also made waves across the pond in the US after starring on The Traitors USA, addressed her split with professional dancer Curtis, 29. The pair called it quits in May despite falling head over heels in love on Love Island All Stars in January.

Despite admitting that she ‘still loves’ Curtis, Ekin-Su told us that she’s now on the hunt for a ‘real man’ as she’s not ready to give up on finding The One just yet.

When asked if she would appear on Love Island All Stars again, Ekin-Su shut down the rumours as she insisted: “It’s time I moved away from that and found a real man now. It’s time I got married.”

Ekin-Su went on to admit that she’s happily dating and is still on the search for her perfect match before addressing her split with Curtis and confessing that the pair are still very good friends.

“We are [friends]. We are. We still speak all the time, and I’ve got nothing but lovely words to say about him.”

Ekin-Su previously dated fellow Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti after the pair met on the 2022 series but the pair split months after leaving the villa amid accusations of cheating.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star’s dating confession comes after it was announced today that she will appear in a new Netflix reality series. The reality TV favourite has been announced as one of the housemates for Inside: USA, which will be coming to the streaming giant on September 21.

The show, which is created by the UK YouTube group Sideme,n has already had two successful seasons in the UK. She will be living alongside a number of US celebrities and content creators, including Selling Sunset’s Breana “Bre” Tiesi.

Ekin, who has also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and the US version of The Traitors, teased another new project this week.

She said: “I’ve been busy working my a*s off. I just came back from Venice, now I’m flying to America.

“I’m burnt out, but life is about working hard. You’ve got to grab it with both hands. Something’s coming up in a few months. It’s not a reality show, it’s a different project.”
