Further insisting that she is still on the market, she added: ‘I know I’m single because I was staying in a haunted hotel in Scotland and could have done with somebody by my side.’
Pointing to a new crystal bracelet by jewellery brand STC, Ekin-Su said: ‘I’m ready to mingle. I’ve got this really nice bracelet and it means abundance and hope and money. I’m hoping that my life is going to be more successful.’
Rumours about the two began swirling after Ekin-Su and Georges, 31, were seen heading to the gym together in Essex and were later seen in his car.
His representative played down their visit, insisting that Georges – who married Peggy Rose on last year’s MAFS – and Ekin-Su are ‘just friends who happened to go to the same gym that day.’
However, in August Ekin-Su stayed at Georges’ family home in the South of France after she reached out to Georges after he confessed to having a crush on her during a podcast interview, letting him know of her mutual interest.
Georges rose to fame on last season’s MAFS where he met Peggy for the first time at the altar.
Viewers warmed to Georges as he put genuine effort into building a relationship with Peggy, even as her parents voiced their disapproval of the match.
However, the couple eventually split on Valentine’s Day, with Georges admitting he was ‘blindsided’ by Peggy’s announcement on Instagram confirming their separation.

She has been enjoying dating following her high profile split from Love Island co-star Davide Sanclimenti (pictured November 2023)

Meanwhile, Ekin-Su first found fame on Love Island in 2022 where she won the dating show with Davide Sanclimenti.
The pair went on to date for 18-months, and even had their own spin-off reality show, but their relationship was not plain sailing after the Italian hunk was accused of cheating with an OnlyFans model.
In March Ekin-Su entered the Big Brother house, but upon being voted out, she was met with jeers and boos.
The reaction upset her so much that she chose not to attend the finale.
Now the reality star insists that she is ‘better than ever.’
