Body language expert reveals this All Stars couple is FAKE and playing a massive game

They have their ‘eyes on the prize’


We don’t have long until the Love Island final, but it looks like some couples aren’t as genuine as they’re making out. People are convinced Sammy and Elma are faking their feelings, but they’re not the only ones.

Celebrity body language expert Inbaal Honigman has revealed that Ekin-Su and Curtis are a “masterclass in showmance” and their actions towards each other show their connection isn’t real.

Speaking to The Tab via Casino.org, she said they have no physical connection, use calculated gestures and have their eyes on the prize, concluding: “This couple is all about strategy.”

The expert analysed the scene where Ekin-Su made Curtis a birthday breakfast in detail, saying: “Ekin-Su and Curtis show no signs of romantic feelings for each other. When Ekin prepares Curtis’s birthday breakfast, she presents everything she’s made and quickly makes her exit, leaving him to enjoy it alone.”

When he called her back to say thank you, she said there was “an obvious distance between them” which shouldn’t be the case in the early stages of love, when couples are usually “inseparable” and constantly sharing “close, affectionate embraces”.

This isn’t the case with Ekin and Curtis, who always have space between them and when they do hug each other, there is no “warmth or intimacy”. They don’t “melt into each other’s arms” as you’d expect.

The body language expert predicted that Ekin-Su has a game plan, saying she’s calculating her moves to maximise her screen time as she knows that’s the key to popularity.

“When Curtis invites her over, he doesn’t extend his arm to reach for her – instead, his arm circles protectively around his food! His relationship with the breakfast seems more intimate than his relationship with Ekin,” she continued.

“Likewise, she doesn’t move in for a genuine hug. When they kiss, Ekin makes a loud ‘muah’ sound, which feels staged rather than passionate. Afterwards, Ekin smiles proudly – head tilted slightly back, clearly pleased with her effort – but not in love-struck bliss.”

Honigman explained that when they talk, their body language is always very neutral. They don’t lean towards each other, soften their eyes, or smile at each other privately like a couple in the early stages of love usually would.

“The emotional connection simply isn’t there. This relationship is a masterclass in showmance.”
