Love Island’s Davide in major life change after shock split from Ekin-Su and white powder scandal
DAVIDE Saclimente has packed his bags and moved back to Manchester following his split from Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Insiders said the Love Island winner had quit his life in London following their break up.
Davide, 28, and Ekin, 27, had been living in a posh pad in the capital but he has now chosen to move out.
A source said: “Davide quit his place with Ekin after they split and he has decided he is going to keep Manchester as his home.
“He is living up there now with friends and is looking for a place of his own.
“Davide and Ekin-Su had been considering moving there together but now they have broken up he is going it alone.
“The split has been hard on him but he is focused on making a fresh start for himself in the city he loves.”
Davide confirmed he had called it quits with his Love Island lover last month.
He said in a statement: “Ekin Su and I are no longer together.
“I am grateful for the memories and opportunities we shared together and I wish her nothing but the best.”
The reality TV star, 28, was filmed pouring a suspicious substance on to his left hand before inhaling it through one nostril while holding down the other.
He released a statement after he was caught snorting a white powder in Ibiza saying: “I was not acting like myself”.
The short clip was taken when Davide — who was in the Balearics for three days to do a promotional photoshoot for BoohooMan— was in the renowned nightspot’s Secret Garden area.
Davide wrote: “Ciao everyone. You may have seen some stories about me over my trip in Ibiza.
“It was no secret that the last few weeks have been difficult for me.
“There was a speculation about my behaviour and a video which was questionable, however below the surface of this I did something that’s not nice to see and was not acting like myself.”
He continued: “The true story is not what has been described from a couple of pictures.
“I found myself in awkward situations, in a vulnerable state.
“All I can say now is that I want to move on and focus on my career, my wellbeing and my loved ones.
“I hugely appreciated the many supportive messages around me.
“That you. Davide Xx.”
Ekin broke her silence on their break up last night and thanked her fans for their support.
She said “Hi everyone, I thought it was time to come back online to thank you so much for all of your messages over the past two weeks.
“It has shown me what a kind, supportive, strong community I have behind me.
“I took some much needed time away with my family which has been really special but now it’s time to realign and get back to work.”
She added: “I have such an exciting year ahead and I want to fully focus on that.”
Shortly after their break up was made public, Davide was caught on camera pouring a suspicious substance on to his left hand before inhaling it through one nostril while holding down the other.
A reveller in Hï Ibiza nightclub filmed the Italian businessman last Sunday — just three days after he announced his break-up with Love Island partner Ekin on social media.
Experts told The Sun how cocaine users often snort the drug off the back of their hand.
However Davide’s spokesman insisted he was snorting snuff in the pictures exclusively revealed by The Sun.
