It said: “Hi guys I've brushed my teeth with this tap Water here.Is it safe? X”
Her Scots friend Victoria Halliday replied: “Hello Yes the water in Scotland is safe/great to drink xx.”
Ekin Su who also thought her hotel room was haunted by the ghost of Henry 8th, then responded: “Okay thank you I thought it was Henry V111 water. Just thinking it might have something contagious plague?”
Victoria later added: “Normal chat when you're staying in a haunted castle.”
During her time in Scotland, Ekin and a group of influencers including Saffron Barker, visited Sexy Coffee in Glasgow and also listened to a mix of traditional and modern songs by a harpist while enjoying a meal including fresh salmon blinis, duck, halibut and a chocolate dessert, at the Glasgow AC Marriott as part of their birthday dinner.
Ekin told her friends: “I’m single and ready to mingle. I’ve got this really nice bracelet and it means abundance and hope and money. I’m hoping that my life is going to be more successful.”
She was also seen at dinner in Harvey Nicks Edinburgh before heading back to London ahead of work commitments.
The star says she has some new telly projects lined up next year in both the States and UK.
And she added that she is on the dating site Raya for any potential suitors now that she has turned thirty.
