Ekin-Su Culculoglu has slammed rumours she cheated on ex Davide Sanclimenti with her Traitors cast mate.
The Love Island winner, 29, met Davide on the ITV dating show back in 2022. They went on to have a romance outside the programme but just days after they were crowned winners, cracks started to appear when Davide was filmed allegedly leaving a bash with two blonde ladies.
Last year, it was reported Ekin-Su found messages between Davide and one of the women. Davide and Ekin-Su split for the first time in July 2023 after he accused her of cheating on him in Turkey - a claim she adamantly denies. But after she went away to film Traitors for the US channel Peacock, she found out he had been partying in Manchester with a girl he had been linked to previously.
While Ekin-Su has revealed Davide suspected foul play as she became close to Peter Weber during the Traitors. Peter is best known as Pilot Pete from the US series The Bachelorette. Ekin-Su has blasted the cheating claims with Peter as she said: “It’s absolutely not true. I made friends with a lot of people I was with on Traitors. I’ve always been a faithful to Davide."
"The only thing I’m guilty of is loving him at the expense of not loving myself," she added to The Sun. Ekin-Su explained how she "clicked with" Peter and that they became "good mates". The TV star said it was "what I needed at the time" and after the show, they remained in touch and Peter would comment on her Instagram pictures.

She claimed Davide would be "furious" at the comments from Peter and want her to delete them. Ekin-Su said she wouldn't remove the comments as Peter is "her friend" and that it is "innocent". Earlier this year Ekin-Su explained how she made the tough decision to split from Davide.

Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other. Unfortunately I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways."
She added: "Breakups are never easy. For any couple. And we hope that our privacy will be respected. I enjoyed our time together and the memories we made. Thank you for your continued support. It's been so lovely to have you follow our Love Island journeys together since the villa and we hope you'll continue to follow our careers as we go off in our own directions. Love always, Ekin-Su."
Davide issued his own message that said: "Life sometimes reserves surprises and suddenly wakes you up... Ekin and I, just after the ski holidays, decided to go different ways. It was a joint decision, but I was waiting to make it public to respect her time in the show. I don't know why the agreed statement changed last minute."
He added: "I agree, it was a beautiful story even with its ups and downs like all couples. I loved every moment, from the first time I knew her in the Villa until life outside. I really believed in us and saw a future for us. But sometimes in life people need to grow apart. Is just the direction of life. I will treasure our moments forever. Now it's time to focus on myself. I love you all always, thank you for the unconditional support everyone showed me from the beginning. Davide."
The Mirror has contacted Davide's representatives for comment.
