Curtis and Ekin put on a very loved up display as they were spotted in a kissing embrace despite recent fan backlash after their appearance on Lorraine. 

The pair had a rocky ride during their time in the villa, including a huge blip when bombshell Danielle Sellers, 29, arrived – and Curtis was interested in getting to know her.

This has made some viewers and their fellow islanders doubt their relationship, and Christine was keen to know what they think about those who think their relationship isn’t real. 

Ekin-Su said: ‘I would say everyone is enтιтled to an opinion. 

‘It’s okay if some people call it fake, showmance, real, whatever. That’s okay. 

‘What’s important is what we feel and that’s real. I guess we’re both from theatrical backgrounds, so it’s normal… You put me and him together, it becomes a theatre performance.

‘So I understand why people may think that. It’s fine, it’s an opinion.’

However those watching at home were not convinced and flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on their relationship.

Ekin-Su and Curtis placed third on the second season of the All Stars spin-off earlier this year

One wrote: ‘100% showmance Ekin Su fame hungry #lorraine.’ 

‘ITV appearance contracts usually last a year. Cue a breakup just in time for the new season to avoid stealing too much attention. #Lorraine.’

‘#Lorraine not sure of the body language between Curtis and Ekin Su, he’s definitely into her… but…..’ 

‘Call me cynical but I give them 6 months to a year… tops #lorraine.’ 

‘Ekin Su & Curtis absolute fake relationship, after three months and the fame dries up, they will split, its all fake, Ekin Su is an actress.’

Curtis was an original All Stars islander this year, but Ekin-Su was the first bombshell to enter the villa.  

The Turkish actress picked Curtis, Scott Thomas and Ronnie Vint to go on a date with her.

And despite keeping quite quiet during their date, the ballroom and Latin dancer certainly caught Ekin’s eye. 

The couple paired up very early on in the show and couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

However they had a blip when Danielle arrived. Depsite his attraction to the blonde beauty, Curtis decided that his connection with Ekin-Su was stronger.  

The happy couple looked more loved-up than ever as they returned to the UK on Thursday.

They were greeted at the airport by their loved ones, including Curtis’ former Strictly pro brother AJ Pritchard.

Earlier this week the pair made their relationship Instagram official – by revealing their cute nicknames that they are saved as on each other’s phones.
