Curtis Pritchard has challenged MAFS UK star Georges Berthonneau to a fight amid the ongoing Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu drama.
Former E4 contestant Georges, 32, revealed to MailOnline in April that he had a secret relationship with Ekin, 30, and they remained committed to each other despite her appearance on Love Island: All Stars.
In an exclusive interview, Georges claimed he and Ekin had agreed that if she stuck to a set of boundaries, she could appear on the Love Island spinoff to further her career, and they would go back to each other once the show had wrapped.
But Georges says he was left devastated after the woman he loved started dating Curtis on national TV and the couple entered a relationship together.
He then went on to accuse his ex-girlfriend of messaging him while she was in bed with current partner Curtis.
Hitting back at the claims, Curtis, who is set to make his professional boxing debut on a Misfits card on May 16, told The Sun: ‘Hey, if he wants to get in the ring with me, tell him to call me out and let’s get in the ring.

‘I’m focusing on the camp, I’m focusing on having fun with Ekin and that’s all that matters to me. Any of the outside noise or outside stuff that’s going on, I haven’t got time to even let it settle into my brain.’
He added: ‘I don’t even know what’s going on. I can’t be bothered with the whole situation of anything else, bar myself, Ekin and fighting right now.’
It comes after Georges spoke on FUBAR Radio about his experiences with the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant, alleging the pair have exchanged messages since her stint in the South African villa.
Georges said: ‘On the day before my birthday, she was out with him that night, and they’d had an argument, and she was messaging me whilst he was asleep in bed with her being like, I need to see you. Blah, blah, blah, like, I’ve got the receipts on my phone.’
Georges also revealed he would be happy to meet Curtis face to face to show him the ‘receipts’ of his alleged conversations with Ekin-Su since she left the show.
MailOnline approached Ekin’s representative for comment and they declined to comment on her behalf.
Last month Ekin-Su and Curtis were hit by speculation they had split just two months after leaving the villa, but soon clarified they were still very much together.
Reacting to the news, Curtis shared a video on Ekin-Su’s Instagram Story on Monday to joke about the reported ‘break up’ as he revealed they had both simply been away for work.
The dancer was seen with a black eye as he chilled on the sofa, before saying: ‘Good day of boxing today, and yeah as you can see a little bit of a black eye but it’s getting better.’
Curtis, who is set to make his professional boxing debut on a Misfits card on May 16, told The Sun: ‘Hey, if he wants to get in the ring with me, tell him to call me out and let’s get in the ring.

‘Yeah apparently I’m now single as well, yes!’ he added, as Ekin-Su could be heard laughing in the background. ‘But unfortunately I’ve got back with my ex straight away,’ he continued, as he leaned into Ekin-Su and showed her on camera.
‘Apparently spending nearly two or three days away means we’ve broken up?’ Ekin-Su said.
George first spoke about his secret 10-month relationship with Ekin-Su during her time on the ITV dating show in an exclusive interview with MailOnline last month.
According to Georges, he and Ekin were in love, but she insisted on signing up to the ITV2 show to further her career. They agreed she would go no further than ‘kissing’ another Islander during her time on the dating series, of which she was the star signing.
But Georges claimed Ekin betrayed him on national TV when she became Curtis’ girlfriend, leaving him devastated.
Speaking to us, Georges said he and Ekin had planned a future together, called each other pet names, holidayed in France during the summer and spent Boxing Day exchanging gifts, just 18 days before she entered the South African villa.
The personal trainer says he lived a ‘nightmare’ for the five weeks Ekin was on the dating show as she passionately kissed Curtis, 29, and performed a seductive routine for him wearing sexy red lingerie during the programme’s Heart Rate Challenge.
But after Ekin shunned Georges once All Stars was over, only reaching out to him a week after the final, he finally ended their romance, saying: ‘I can’t be with someone who has another boyfriend…’
Georges said: ‘We were boyfriend and girlfriend from April last year. We were with each other. We spent Boxing Day together.

Curtis said: ‘I don’t even know what’s going on. I can’t be bothered with the whole situation of anything else, bar myself, Ekin and fighting right now’
‘She spent time with my family, she came to family events, she met my nephews, sister-in-law, uncles, everyone. I met her mum a couple of times and her brother.
‘We said we loved each other after six weeks of dating… I fell in love with the girl. She used to call me Bear and I called her Olive because of her olive skin and that’s one of her last messages to me, “I love you, my Bear.”
‘It was a super, super intense and intimate relationship… We had a lot of intimacy, we were very close, and physically and emotionally we showed each other such love, but she threw everything we had away for her TV romance with Curtis Pritchard.’
Ekin returned to Love Island after first winning the show with ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti in 2022.
She told her 4.3million fanbase in January: ‘I know I said I was done with Love Island, but here I am, fully invested again. The drama, the chaos, the questionable decisions, I just can’t stay away.’
But Georges, who first connected with Ekin after she sent him a flirty direct message on Instagram, has claimed she only appeared on the show to boost her career, which he felt obliged to accept.
He has even accused the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant of ‘gaslighting’ after she allegedly told him not to date any other women during her appearance on Love Island: All Stars, where contestants romance each other on a daily basis.
He said: ‘I got played. She gaslit me. I said to her before she went into the villa, “you do realise no one else would accept you going on the show” and she replied, “and that’s exactly why I won’t be with someone who wouldn’t let me do things for my career.”
‘I feel so used. The devil on her shoulder is always money, money, money, brand deals, she just wants to be the most known person and that’s all she cares about.
‘I begged her not to go on All Stars and her friends were telling her not to because she had me at home who she cares about and loves but she said she needed to do it for her career.’
