Ekin-Su's ex brands her ‘selfish and entitled' and reveals he's now in therapy after split
EKIN-SU's Married At First Sight ex has hit out at her and blasted her in an explosive new podcast chat. Georges Berthoneau took aim at Ekin during an appearance on Jemma Lucy and Nathaniel Valentino's podcast. 6 6 The pair were understood to be dating in late 2024 ahead of Ekin-Su signing up to Love Island: All Stars. But things between the pair went sour and any hopes of a reconciliation after she left the villa have been thwarted amid Georges' accusations. Georges accused Ekin-Su of "messing him about" and suggested they were still in a relationship even when she signed up for the starry spin-off - something which Ekin has repeatedly and strenuously denied. Chatting to the podcast's hosts, Georges said: "I knew she was going on [Love Island All Stars] - we'd first spoke about it in October. "I was with her and she met my parents at Christmas. We did Boxing Day together and we did New Year's Eve. "I left hers on the 3rd of January and she flew [to South Africa] on the 4th. "I was the last person she rang before she went into filming. "She said, 'I'll come straight back to you and I already miss you'." He went on to insist that his split from Ekin-Su had left him needing therapy after she pursued a relationship with Curtis Pritchard during her time on the show. Georges said on the show: 'Like I started therapy I've never had therapy in my whole life and when I told her she went 'Oh that's good that you've gone to therapy I think we should all go.' Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard SPLIT three months after Love Island All Stars "I cried straight for I don't know how many nights or weeks. "So she was there [in Love Island] six weeks, I'd probably say I cried straight from week one or two to like. She didn't speak to me for eight days post show. She had her phone for eight days she didn't message me - maybe she did she went 'I'm overwhelmed'. 'She's the most selfish, entitled person I've ever met she didn't want anyone to know about me. 'Every big awards night that she ever went to who do you think was in her hotel room waiting for her." Ekin-Su and Curtis remained together for a few months after the programme but officially called it quits at the end of May following three months together. The pair's split was amicable with them sharing similar social media statements to confirm the sad news to fans. Ekin-Su has denied ever being in a serious relationship with Georges and told him that she intended to pursue a new relationship when signing up for Love Island All Stars. The Sun has contacted a representative for Ekin-Su for comment. 6 6 6

Curtis Pritchard gets VERY close to EastEnders star he met when he was dating Ekin-Su as they leave show arm in arm
NEWLY single Curtis Pritchard has been spotted getting very close to an EastEnders star, as they left a show arm in arm. Curtis, 29, was pictured looking cosy with Jazzy Phoenix, 23, who rose to fame for playing Nadine Keller on the BBC soap opera, EastEnders. 10 10 The pair are believed to have met when Curtis was dating Ekin-Su, as they were both on the same tour, named Come What May. In August last year, it was revealed that Jazzy had bagged herself a huge new role away from Walford, with the big new theatre role in Come What May. And Curtis also starred in the show alongside his Strictly star brother AJ. The tour ran from September 20th to October 24th 2024, meaning he and Jazzy knew each other before his Love Island All Stars stint, in January of this year. Curtis and Ekin-Su got together on All Stars this year, but recently split, with the pair announcing their break up via social media statements. Now, shortly after his and Ekin's split, dancer Curtis has been spotted linking arms with stunning actress Jazzy, while attending the Bloomsbury Theatre in London. The pair went to watch Strictly star Kai Widdrington's Evolution tour. Curtis was spotted looking casual in a white t-shirt and jeans as he exited the theatre with Jazzy by his side. She was seen showing the Love Islander something on her phone, as well as stroking the back of his head and linking arms with him. Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard SPLIT three months after Love Island All Stars Jazzy looked stunning in a grey jacket and tartan trousers, with her blonde hair down. She sported a glam makeup look and red lipstick for their theatre trip, and the pair looked in great spirits on the hot summer's day, laughing and smiling in each other's company. The Sun has contacted both Jazzy and Curtis' reps for comment. The actress, who was previously linked to another of her co-stars Bobby Brazier, was rumoured to be dating Strictly Come Dancing star Jamie Borthwick last year. Jamie continued to fuel speculation that the pair were an item after seemingly remaining close months after Jazzy left the BBC soap opera. 10 10 They were often snapped together on social media and this week was no different. The duo posed for a selfie, with the blonde actress captioning it: "The weekly gossip = complete." The stars then filmed a carpool karaoke as they sang a version of Nobody Knows Me Like You Do, from Disney film High School Musical, before finishing with a rendition of Start of Something New. Jamie, 30, and Jazzy previously sparked rumours they were dating back in December 2023. Jazzy shared a photo of her resting her head on Jamie's shoulder. The picture got fans talking, with some convinced that this is more than just an on-screen romance. One wrote: "They would make a great couple," while another posted: "Are they an item?" 10 10

EXCLUSIVE I had dance lessons from Love Island's Curtis Pritchard and was left red-faced as I attempted the Cha Cha and THOSE heart rate challenge moves
When Curtis Pritchard hit UK screens with his iconic hip swivel and carnival flair on Love Island, hearts were sent racing and the girls were left fanning away in awe. And it is safe to say that he cemented to the boys that women love a man who can dance, but it was soon made obvious that not everyone can shake their hips in the way he can. As a former rigid ballet enthusiast who could pop a hip during the intro of Shakira 's Hips Don't Lie, I was one of those whose jaw hit the floor when he showcased his unapologetic snake hips. Which is why when given the chance to join the former Islander for a sunny Cha Cha lesson outside Battersea Powerstation, I practically leapt at the chance to get some one-on-one tips to perfect that iconic moment. Meeting the professional dancer and boxing enthusiast over the weekend, I joined a handful of other dancing hopefuls looking to spice up their moves in time for summer - it is safe to say that I was quickly humbled. Strutting into the square outside the iconic BPS, sweating buckets in a black dress under 30°C heat, it hit me — I'd made a huge mistake. Dancing in front of a huge yellow boombox, packed with shoppers and Love Island fans, there was Curtis clearly on a mission as his hips were swinging with such commitment you'd think he was grafting for the final recoupling. With every cha-cha step, his pelvis painted invisible figure-eights alongside a fellow dancer who matched his energy beat for beat — all frills, sass, and the kind of footwork that would have Michael Jackson raising an eyebrow and taking notes. It was at this moment that reality set in - not only was I going to look like a fish out of water, but I was going to do it in front of both Curtis and thousands of people passing by throughout the day. Starting off 'slow', Curtis and his assistant demonstrated the first step-to-step move, which, while looking easy on stage, had me tripping under my feet and nearly falling on a fellow nervous-looking novice. While courteous and running the seemingly simple steps twice over at different levels, I still hadn't managed to grasp it. But putting my 'best' foot forward, I continued on to, which saw the move transition into a quick double forward stepping motion, which was actually my best move in reflection. Still looking like Bambi on ice, I attempted a brave face and strongly believed that if my willpower allowed me to get through the next 45 seconds, I would be looking like a semi-professional in no time. Spoiler alert, this was not the case. Before I knew it, I was swirling my hips in what was supposed to be a circle but in fact resembled more of a square as I waved my arms in the air looking like I started my working day with a bottle of wine for breakfast. Safe to say, Cha Cha is not for me and I am thankful I did not follow through on my childhood dreams of being a dancer. Curtis is now putting all his effort into his boxing, finance education business and his collaboration with Lipton for their Kombucha launch alongside Wes Nelson. They celebrated the launch of the new Lipton Kombucha range with free dance lessons at a giant boombox. Hosted at Battersea Power Station, the 'Komboomcha Box' offered a day of feel-good tunes and activities to reignite the nation's love for dancing. Dancing in the public eye once again, Curtis kicked off the day uniting with a professional dance instructor to teach the public cha-cha dance moves. The free lessons aimed to get the nation dancing again, after new research from Lipton Ice Tea revealed that half of Brits are terrified to dance out in public, despite 7 in 10 people feeling happier after dancing. Curtis said: 'I'm thrilled to have teamed up with Lipton Ice Tea to help the nation rediscover the joy of dance with the Lipton Kombucha. 'For me, dancing has always been a source of happiness and confidence, so it's been fantastic to join forces with Wes and share that energy with everyone at Battersea Power Station. 'Whether you're a pro or just fancy a bit of fun, we should all welcome in the summer with an uplifting cha-cha-cha!' Curtis and Wes took to the boombox stage for the first-ever live performance of his new track 'Kombucha-cha', which launched alongside a dance-led music video shot in Camden Market. Alongside this, Wes played his tracks Drive, Nice To Meet Ya, Yellow and Fly Away before uniting with Curtis on stage. The feel-good vibes continued throughout the day, as Londoners were treated to a curated feel-good playlist, and free samples of Lipton Kombucha; a vibrant blend of naturally fermented tea, live cultures, and real fruit flavours. Available in three delicious flavours; Strawberry Mint, Raspberry and Mango Passionfruit, the feel-good vibe goes hand in hand with the happy sensation of dancing, making you feel alive with teas that are bursting with life.
