Love Island: All Stars season 2 - Ekin-Su says Curtis did not reassure her before leaving for the Hideaway
During their one-on-one conversation, Luca stated that the "bombshell" was wasting her time trying to pursue a connection with someone who was "closed off." Regardless, he hoped the newcomer, Danielle, would respectfully talk to Ekin-Su about it.
Ekin-Su then told Luca that she could open up to him and vice versa because they knew each other from their "old" selves. Upon hearing that, Luca jokingly remarked that it seemed like the "bombshell" would bring the "old" Ekin-Su out of her shell.
Before her conversation with Luca, Ekin-Su confided in Tina and Catherine. The Love Island: All Stars islander told her co-stars that she did not feel reassured by Curtis before he left for the Hideaway. She wondered why he told her he was "confused" before heading out.
"If I were to go in the Hideaway today and the bombshell picked me I would be very straight to the point and I wouldn't tell Curtis, 'I'm confused.' I would say, 'My love, you've got nothing to worry about. I got you. You're all for me. It's just one night away. I'm gonna put my boundaries with her' " Ekin-Su said.
Catherine urged the Love Island: All Stars cast member to talk to Curtis after he returned to the villa, assuring her that he would not lie. She and Tina comforted Ekin-Su, saying they would stand by her in case things went south.
The episode saw Ekin-Su and Curtis' relationship hit a rough patch after she discovered Curtis touched Danielle's hand and enjoyed his time with her. She wondered if he was as serious as she was about their relationship. Tensions peaked when Ekin-Su found Curtis talking to Danielle, even after she told him it bothered her.
Love Island: All Stars season 2 is available to stream on ITVX.
