Former Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu blasted former partner Davide Saclimenti whilst offering advice to new winners.
The Turkish soap star, 28, admitted she had regrets from her relationship with Italian stallion Davide, 27.
After 11 months together, the couple – who won the 2022 season of the ITV dating show – announced their split on Instagram.

At the time, Davide went public about the breakup, taking to his Instagram stories to let loyal fans know they were no longer together.
But speaking to the MailOnline at a lunch event for her brand BPerfect, Ekin gave new winners Jess Harding and Sammy Root some tough advice.
“If you’re in a relationship coming out of the villa, you need to realise you’re in a relationship,” she quipped.
“You need to realise there is a lot of eyes on you and live it privately, have your own space and trust your partner, communicate with your partner and don’t rush to live with them straight away.”
The pair emerged victorious last August when they topped the public vote with 68% of the final vote.
But Davide and Ekin-Su’s relationship was less than rosy in the villa, with accusations of betrayal and jealousy throughout their stint on the show.
After the couple left the Island, they looked to be going from strength to strength, landing brand deals and even TV shows together.
But in more advice to the new Island couples, she urged them to get to know each other away from the public eye.
“Stay true to yourself and be who you are and don’t let the game change you,” she added.
Despite their high-profile split, Ekin and Davide have met each other several times after the relationship ended.
The pair awkwardly ran into each other after the split whilst on the pink carpet for the European premiere of the Barbie film.
Whilst another time saw the couple get into a taxi together after a summer party at ITV, raising more suspicion.
Things now seem to be back on with the pair as the beauties were spotted being “all over each other”.
Davide and Ekin-Su were clocked in the back seat of a silver car as they made their way home.
But not all signs are there, as the pair looked out of the car in opposite directions.
But Ekin seemed content as she smiled sending messages on her phone before getting into the cab with her ex.
