LOVE Island star Tanyel Revan has branded Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard a "game player" - saying "they're two actors".
Curtis Pritchard, 28, and Ekin-Su, 30, have been getting to know each other for the past two weeks in the All Stars villa.
But fans were quick to slam their connection as a "showmance" after they declared they're officially "closed off" after nine days.
And Tanyel, who appeared on series eight in 2023, agrees saying they are a pair of "actors" and are faking the whole thing for a career boost.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Tanyel said: "The best way to say this, is they're two actors. They're faking it.
"I'm sorry but Curtis would give me the ick.
"I think she's [Ekin-Su] just good at acting. I personally think she knows what she's doing.
"I don't think she's gone on there for the right reasons.
"She went on Big Brother and told everyone she didn't want to be known for Love Island and put Love Island down 24/7 on that show, that's why she got so much hate when she went in and contradicted what she said - it doesn't weigh up.
"I'm assuming the producers tried to convince her to come on, she probably thought I could make myself look better again, obviously because she didn't have the best experience on Big Brother.
"She's trying to be the mother of the villa."
"No one's personality can change that many times on three different shows, it doesn't make sense."

Tanyel pointed out Curtis' big slip-up when he admitted things were "moving too fast" but then agreed to "close things off" with Ekin within 24 hours.
She said: "I think he realised it was too much, but then has to keep acting. She doesn't care if he's got the ick, because she doesn't want him anyway, she's not going to lock it off on the outside.
Tanyel added: "No one's personality can change that many times on three different shows, it doesn't make sense."
Love at first sight?
Earlier this week, some fans were left baffled as Ekin-Su and Curtis declared they're officially closed off after just nine days.
Ekin-Su wanted an update on their relationship and to make sure they were on the same page.
The former Traitors USA personality wondered if they were either going too fast or too slow as she enquired about the progress.
Curtis seemed enthusiastic with the way things were going, as he told her he was happy with the speed of their blossoming relationship.
He said: "I am a one woman man," as he assured her about his commitment.
The pair then decided together that they were both 'closed off' within the villa, and had no intention of looking elsewhere.
Both Ekin and Curtis then shared yet another kiss after their 'boring' date on last night's episode.
However, Love Island fans were left in shock as they have only been a couple for nine days.
One viewer exclaimed: "CLOSED OFF?!!?!? We are 9 days in. They are a showmance."
A second fan claimed: "Closed off after a week, I can sense Curtis changing his mind like he did with Amy."
And third added: "Ekin and Curtis closed off?? what is going on?"
