Two Love Islanders seemed to be getting closer at the National Television Awards last night, as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was reportedly spotting being flirty with another show legend
Two Love Islanders were overheard planning a secret date at this year’s National Television Awards. The pair appeared to be flirting heavily while they hung out at an after party.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Joe Garratt were never on the show together but were spotted laughing together in the VIP section at a party after the NTAs. Onlookers thought they sense some chemistry between the two and overheard Joe asking Ekin-Su on a date.
An inside said: “Ekin-Su and Joe have real chemistry together, it was obvious just looking over at them. They didn’t stop laughing and joking around after bumping into each other at the afterparty.

Speaking to The Sun, they continued to claim: “Joe was heard testing the waters about a date with Ekin – saying he’d always hoped they could hang out more.”
They added that maybe this could be “another Love Island couple in the making”. While there are many Love Island couples who are still together after the show, there have also been a few made up of former Islanders who met after the show ended.
Lucie Donlan, who was partnered with Joe on season five of the show, is engaged to season six contestant Luke Mabbott. Maura Higgins also briefly dated her season five co-star Chris Taylor.
Ekin-Su’s last Love Island relationship was with Curits Pritchard. The pair met on Love Island: All Stars last year and they made it to the final before being beaten to the win by Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman. Ekin-Su and Curtis broke up shortly after leaving the villa.
Before going on All Stars, Ekin-Su won season eight of Love Island with Davide Sanclimenti in 2022. They were together for almost two years after the show ended.
Joe has been linked to several people romantically, including TOWIE’s Frankie Sims, Too Hot To Handle’s Georgia Hassarati and internet star Sophie Batzloff.
He has not been linked to a Love Islander since being dumped from the first season of All Stars, when he and Arabella Chi were voted least compatible and the other islanders voted him off.
Before that, he was on season five where he was partnered with Lucie. Their relationship hit quite a few rocks when Tommy Fury entered the villa as the boxer set his eyes on Lucie. However, by the end of the show, Tommy was happily coupled with Molly-Mae Hague and the two have a daughter together.
Tommy and Molly-Mae briefly split up but in her NTA winning documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, she revealed that they are back together.
