Reflecting on how Casa Amor tested their relationship, Ekin-Su said: “In relationships, you’ve got to make mistakes, to know it’s right you have to have these tests.

“And in real life, whether you have a normal job, day to day walking on the street, you have to trust your partner.

“And there’s going to be people who are going to try it on you and I feel like Casa Amor was that big test.

“And the fact that whether Davide came back alone or not that was a test for him.

“My test was with Jay, that was kind of my Casa Amor experience and there was, like, obviously people at Casa Amor but literally my heart and my head was at the villa.”

Davide added that he wanted to ensure he was choosing her for the right reasons, explaining: “I always said for myself, ‘If I want to choose Ekin-Su, I want to choose her on top of everyone else not just because she’s the only girl that I fancied inside the villa’.

“So actually, what I did with Molly in Casa Amor is actually been a confirmation that I actually felt something for her. I realised that what we had was unique.”
