She won Love Island back in 2021 alongside then-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti and, honestly, we don’t think Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has stopped since then.

From her spin-off show, Homecomings, with Davide and her stint on Celebrity Big Brother to her return to the villa for All Stars and her current appearance on Inside USA, Ekin has basically been a constant fixture on our TV screens and we love it.

But as well as her thriving telly career, it seems that the series eight Islander has been busy in her romantic life too as she recently opened up about dating following her split from Curtis Pritchard and now she’s been spotted with a Too Hot to Handle star.

Ekin took to Instagram yesterday to show herself on a dinner date with Harry Jowsey – who won the first season of the Netflix dating show alongside Francesca Farago – with the pair indulging in an aphrodisiac.

‘First time trying an oyster @harryjowsey,’ the reality star wrote alongside a clip of herself and Harry slurping on the seafood.

Now, we’re not sure if these two posts are connected, but the previous slide on Ekin’s Instagram story shows a MAHOOSIVE bouquet of roses. Could they have been a present from Harry?

While it’s not known if the two reality stars are romantically involved, Ekin did recently open up about dating again following her split from her All Stars fella Curtis Pritchard.

Speaking to us on the red carpet at the NTAs earlier this month, she said, ‘I have been on dates. I matched with Taron Egerton on Raya and maybe a few footballers, but I can’t say...

‘Not English footballers though, Italian.'

Ekin has also sparked romance rumours with her Inside USA co-star Mark Estes, who previously dated The Hills star Kristin Cavallari.

In a recent episode of Netflix show, Ekin recreated her iconic Love Island terrace crawl to eavesdrop on the boys conversation – and, in a separate chat with Mark, she asked the social media influencer which of the girls he liked.

‘Probably you,’ Mark replied.
