Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu shares post about ‘believing in yourself’ after being dropped by Oh Polly 

She touched down in the Maldives this week for a getaway with boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti.

And Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu shared a gorgeous post to Instagram from the trip on Friday as she soaked up the sun.

The Love Island star, 28, added a caption about ‘believing in yourself’ underneath the post, which featured snaps of her on the beach.

She appeared to be referencing the current drama circulating her relationship with fashion brand Oh Polly, who dropped her less than six months after signing a massive deal.

An insider told MailOnline this week that she and the online retailer had parted ways, despite her first collection only being released in October.

Sharing a glowing selfie, Ekin-Su had her brunette locks left in a natural curly style as she stunningly gazed to the camera.

Soaking up the sun, she sported a white crochet beach cover-up with a cut-out torso and back detail – layered over a blue string bikini.

She teamed the look with black sandals and a pair of sunglasses, taking a walk on the stunning beach. 

‘If you don’t believe in yourself, who will?’ captioned the Dancing On Ice star.

And the post about believing comes after it was revealed this week that the Love Island winner was dropped from her fashion partner Oh Polly. 

Less than six months ago, she signed the ‘biggest clothing deal in Love Island history’ with the online retailer – but things appears to have gone downhill for the partnership.

A source told MailOnline that the partnership, which saw Ekin-Su launch her first ever collection in October followed by a massive launch party, ‘wasn’t working’ and the Dancing On Ice star’s range struggled to appeal to Oh Polly’s customer base. 

‘Ekin-Su and Oh Polly have parted ways,’ an insider revealed.

Collab: And while she has parted ways with her fashion collab, boyfriend Davide is still going strong with BoohooMAN – with his second edit being launched with the brand

‘It’s complicated right now, and Ekin-Su won’t be publicly commenting on the end of her working relationship with the brand but there will be no further collaborations.’

In August, Ekin closed a reported £1million contract with Oh Polly, which became ‘the biggest clothing deal in Love Island history.’

She released one collection with the brand and celebrated her deal with a huge party at London’s One Marylebone attended by the likes of Sam Thompson, Zara McDermott, Antigoni Buxton and many of her fellow Love Island co-stars.

And while she has parted ways with her fashion collab, boyfriend Davide is still going strong with BoohooMAN – with his second edit being launched with the brand.

The Going-Out edit contains a perfect mix of affordable, yet classic pieces.

Modelling the looks, Davide looks smart in new campaign images for the collection – which drops on February 20.
