Christine asked the reality star: "We loved watching you all summer, and you talk about this distance between Manchester and London, that might be about to change?"

Ekin-Su responded: "Yes, it's big news. Basically we've decided we are moving in together, it's official. And we are thinking, we're quite busy with other things in September, we're thinking end of September to possibly moving to Essex where I'm from."

The 27-year-old continued: "Davide's not been to Essex and I feel like it's so nice because it's near London, easy to travel to, bit of countryside but also that edginess to it as well, but I'm very, very excited."
