Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu gave a very icy one-word response when asked how she would feel if her ex Davide Sanclimenti arrived on Love Island: All Stars.
The former winner, 30, who scooped the £50,000 cash prize with ex Davide in June 2022, made her feelings known during Tuesday's episode.
When asked by fellow Islander Gabby Allen how she would feel to see Davide enter the villa, Ekin-Su simply replied: 'Nothing.'
The girls laughed at her response before asking Ekin-Su where her and Davide - who split in January 2024 - stood now.
'I don't know what he's doing, I couldn't care,' Ekin-Su shrugged. 'It's in the past.
'That's the old chapter and I'm here in the new chapter. Things didn't work and I'm here.'

During Monday's launch show, Ekin-Su made a thinly-veiled dig at ex Davide as she revealed why she's returned to the Love Island for All Stars.
She made her return at the end of the highly-anticipated launch show as she once again entered as a bombshell.
Speaking ahead of her comeback, the brunette beauty said: 'I want to return to Love Island again because it's where my journey started and has a special place in my heart.
'It's somewhere I've laughed, cried and learnt so much. The fact that there's an opportunity to do it again - why not!
'Why can't a winner go back in and re-write her story and have a second chance?! I think you should follow your gut and my gut is telling me to go back, so I'm listening to it.'
When quizzed on what she's looking for this time around, Ekin-Su revealed she wants 'someone who isn't overly self-obsessed and someone that's aware of flaws because we all have them.'
In what could be a swipe at Davide, she added: 'I'd like a man that will love me when I'm in the worst mood possible but still understands why and has no judgments.
'I'd like someone supportive, I don't care about looks and money - I want someone to be my biggest cheerleader.'

When it comes to red flags, the biggest one for Ekin-Su is 'someone selling the dream at the start, being perfect - because that's not real.'
She insisted: 'Real love and connection starts with the journey, a friendship and getting to know one another first.'
The Celebrity Big Brother star said she's 'excited' for All Stars because it's 'so different it's so different to how we were before, we were all unknown.'
She gushed: 'I'm excited to see what everyone's journeys have been like and maybe some drama - you never know what might happen.
'I'm interested to see how it plays out. I'm a girls' girl so I'm also excited to make friends too.
'I love being a sexy, smart, classy woman. I'm funny and quirky and I think being an Islander, you can represent all of that.
'You don't have to be a typical Barbie or Ken doll. You can feel confident no matter your looks or where you're from and to be an authentic Islander you have to be humble and real so people can relate to you.'
Lifting the lid on a successful Love Island couple she admires, Ekin-Su admitted she would love to find a relationship like Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow, who were on series three in 2017.
She said: 'I've always admired Jamie (Jewitt) and Camilla (Thurlow), they've had kids, he's a sensible dad, she's a sensible mum - they're so cute, I really crave that.
'I'd love a sensible man that I can have fun with!'
