Love Island's Tasha shuts down Ekin-Su feud rumours over missed birthday celebrations

Love Island star Tasha Ghouri has hit back at rumours she and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu are feuding.

Talk of frostiness between the islanders circulated after they both missed each other's birthday celebrations.

Last week, the blonde model marked her 24th birthday with dinner at a London restaurant with boyfriend Andrew, as well as fellow Love Island cast members Indiyah, Dami, Paige and Adam.

She was also treated to a night at the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel, in the Shard, with Andrew.

On Instagram Tasha posted a clip of the breath taking views from the building, before sharing a video of the room – which had been decorated with dozens of red roses and balloons.

Soap actress Ekin turned 28 today, and marked the occasion last night by hitting up a nightclub with boyfriend Davide and pals, but without her co-stars.

The Love Island winners danced at a luxury nightspot, with bar staff bringing bottles with sparklers and small cakes to the couple’s table.

Yesterday, Tasha sought to clear up any confusion about her relationship with Ekin, writing on Twitter: "It’s Ekins birthday tomorrow and she was invited to mine shes busy but will see her very soon. Last week wasn’t for my birthday! - I got invited. Just to clear that up!"

Tasha and Andrew have been very busy lately, going on a double date today with fellow finalists Gemma Owen and Luca Bish.

The couples reunited in North London as they watched Tottenham take on Wolves in the Premier League.

Documenting the outing on Instagram, the group shared a series of snaps as they enjoyed the football match from the comfort of a luxury box.

Earlier this week Tasha, who has signed a huge fashion deal with eBay UK, broke her silence on her treatment in the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, which saw viewers accuse Luca and Dami of bullying her.

Tasha's treatment in the game sparked more than 1,500 Ofcom complaints, .

During the pie challenge, she was targeted by male contestants Dami Hope, Luca Bish and winner Davide Sanclimenti.

Dami and Luca also branded Tasha fake and “a game player”. Davide explained he pied Tasha because she had previously called him and partner Ekinsu Cülcüloğlu the "fakest couple".

After the interaction, Tasha told producers she was going to leave the show – and Andrew was going with her, The Sun revealed.

"I knew I was gonna get pies,” she said. “I was ready for it, but it was more about the comments after that…There’s a level of banter and there’s [that].

“I was standing there thinking: ‘Keep your head held high and don’t show a reaction.’ There’s a clip and you can still see it in my face [how upset I was].

“It was a lot - I felt backed into a corner. It’s such an intense environment and hard to escape. You’re stuck in there together. I was ready to walk out.”
