Speaking on the Saving Grace podcast, he said he dated her “loads of times”, adding “she stayed with me at Seven Pines.”
Wayne explained: “We met in Nandos. She walked in and I was like f**k she’s fit.
“I actually air dropped her my number.”

Grace Keeling asked him: “How did she know it was you?”
He told her: “I was the only one there, then she walked out of Nandos, walked down the road. I could still see her.”

Ekin, 28, went on to star in Love Island last summer and won alongside Davide Sanclimenti.
Wayne, who is the brother of footballer Gary, is known for being a club owner in Ibiza.
He previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating and grew close to Chloe Ferry.
