TV star Arabella, who looked stunning at the Bohomoon yoga and Pilates event at FLOW Ldn on Tuesday, revealed why Ekin-Su and Curtis are the perfect match – despite fans being sceptical of their connection.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Arabella said: “I think we’re seeing a different side to Ekin, which is really refreshing, I feel like they’re the mum and dad of the villa and there always needs to be the mum and dad of the villa – I feel like they’ve taken that role.
“I feel it’s really refreshing we’re seeing this side to Ekin – I know her and is this really sweet girl and I think perhaps on previous shows she’s been on, no one’s ever seen that side of her.
“I think she’s 100 per cent genuine.”
Discussing whether their compatible, Arabella told us: “Things move quickly in there. If you feel it, you have yo move with your feelings in there.
“I do understand when people say ‘you have to try things out’, but if it feels right, it feels right – why fix something if it’s not broken.
“If it’s going great, don’t try and explore somebody else, unfortunately there’s this mindset in there ‘I should explore my options’.”
Arabella said that actress Ekin-Su and dancer Curtis have a lot in common, with similar career paths – making it easy for them to “bounce off each other”.
Arabella, who is expecting her first child with businessman boyfriend Billy Henty, said it’s also refreshing” to see Ekin being treated the way she deserves after some “s****y relationships”
When asked if Curtis the guy for Ekin-Su, Arabella said: “It’s too early to say, I think right now they’re really getting on and I think they’ve taken us all by surprise because even that date with the alpacas, I feel like they both bring out this really cute side of each other which is really refreshing to see and I think they really bounce off of each other really well.”
Arabella believes the pair could go all the way the final – with a strong chance of Ekin-Su being a Love Island winner for a second time.
“I do think it will work on the outside,” she added.
“I think Ekin has had s****y relationships in the past and Curtis is such a gentleman, I think it’s really refreshing to see how she could be potentially treated like the person she should be treated like.”
Arabella looked sporty chic as she attended the Bohomoon event as she and other star’s celebrated Katie Lynch’s jewellery brand.
Today, the cult fashion brand offers over 1400 pieces, has sold over two million items worldwide, and has a growing online community of over 800,000 social media followers.

Arabella was seen showing off her yoga moves while wearing pieces from the stunning collection.
The jewellery is sweat and tarnish proof, so you never have to take it off making it perfect for exercising in.
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?”
