Ekin-Su revealed that she started to use the phone while occasionally talking to the man following their date.
She revealed to The Sun: ‘I’d had the phone for two months and then I got a really weird email to my work address.’
‘I was working an admin job at a finance company at the time. It said ‘I know everything about you.’
The Celebrity Big Brother star admitted that she thought the email was junk mail at first, however, she shockingly received an intimate picture of herself.
She said: ‘I thought it must be spam but they attached a picture of me wearing lingerie that I had sent to my ex.’
The star also said that she tried her best to ignore the emails, however, they kept on coming and one message threatened to leak her private messages.
Ekin-Su revealed her ‘stalker’ had been threatening her with intimate pictures she had taken, however, the police could not do anything.
The star, who said she was on good terms with her ex-boyfriend still, revealed to The Sun that he suggested to contact the police.

To which Ekin-Su said she ‘felt so silly’ when the police asked her if she had met anyone new or whether they had ‘given any gifts’.
The star then revealed that unfortunately, the IP (device address) was untrackable and she had to delete her phone, ICloud, and emails.
She also said that when it was her time to go on Love Island, the producers asked her if any personal information could ‘come up’ to which she thought that ‘something could surface’ but thankfully nothing did.
Revealing that the whole ordeal left her feeling ‘traumatised’ Ekin-Su confessed that she still worries now that ‘stuff might come out’ and she now looks out for ‘signs’ and ‘cuts people out’ of her life early on.
The star also revealed to The Sun that despite the horrifying incident, she is currently enjoying ‘single life’ and has been ‘dating’ after signing up for the dating app Raya.
It comes after Ekin-Su vowed to expose all in her bombshell memoir, including what really happened in her relationship with Davide Sanclimenti before their split.
The Love Island winner, who met Davide on the ITV2 dating show, confirmed she had parted ways with the Italian businessman, 29, in February, for a second time as she blamed a ‘rollercoaster of ups and downs’ in their romance.
Now, Ekin-Su’s new tell-all book will see her open up on childhood trauma and bullying, as well as looking back on her experiences taking part in reality shows such as Love Island, The Traitors US and Celebrity Big Brother.
She told The Sun: ‘It’s everything, my experience with Davide, there’s a lot in there. I’m done hiding.’
‘I’m done lying and protecting other people, this is my truth.’
She added that writing the book felt ‘like therapy’ and said she ‘wants people to know me for me, not the work I’ve done or the wronguns I’ve dated.’
Cracks appeared in her relationship with Davide less than a month after they won Love Island as a couple in the summer of 2022.

Hunky Davide was seen leaving a party with two blondes in August of that year.
Ekin-Su said she was left in floods of tears after learning of the incident, insisting she did not want to believe Davide would treat her badly.
When she asked him ‘how could you do this to me’, she claims he simply replied: ‘Excuse me?’
While filming their ITV2 show Homecomings, Ekin-Su said she saw pictures of Davide with females on his phone.
She claimed she saw images of two blonde girls in his Manchester flat wearing his clothes.
Ekin-Su did not want to make anything of the situation at the time because they were being filmed.
The television personality went on to claim Davide cheated on her with a girl called Harriet Wilson, with Harriet contacting Ekin-Su to tell her.
Ekin-Su said that at another time Davide left his laptop open and she saw sexually explicit messages between him and a girl she had met on New Year’s Eve.
She said seeing those messages ‘broke something in me’.
Actress Ekin-Su said she did not want to be embarrassed amid the cheating allegations so did her best not to react publicly but also wanted to protect Davide.
