Very few Love Island bombshells have played the game quite as well as Love Island 2022 winner and effortless queen, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. She's a Turkish actress turned Love Island star turned Celebrity Big Brother housemate. Is there anything she can't do?
So what has the Islander been up to since she took home that £50k prize on Love Island? In case you've been living under a rock, here's everything you need to know about "liar, actress" Ekin-Su.
Who is Ekin-Su?
A Love Island icon, obvs. The bombshell won Love Island 2022 alongside her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti.
How old is Ekin-Su?
Ekin-Su was one of the oldest Islanders of 2022 at 28 years old, making her the same age as her Italian stallion then boyf. She's now 29, and her birthday is 21 August 1994, making her a Leo. Of course.
Are Ekin-Su and Davide still together?
Unfortunately, the pair are no longer together. After briefly splitting up in June 2023, they rekindled their romance two months later, but have since called it quits for good.
While they were together, they shared a home and debuted their own reality series, Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings on ITV. In all honesty, it wasn't that great, but we'll take any opportunity to just stare at these two for an hour.
What does Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu do for a living?
Ekin-Su is a quadruple threat; she's an actress, influencer, model and reality star. Fun fact, she was an actress in Turkey once upon a time, starring on a programme called Kuzey Yildizi.
Since leaving the villa she became an ambassador for Oh Polly but they've since parted ways. She's also an ambassador for BPerfect Cosmetics.
Who did Ekin-Su couple up with on Love Island?
Although Ekin-Su had her sights set on now-boyf Davide from the second she stepped foot inside the villa on day 3, she also had a fiery fling with Scottish adonis Jay Younger, the briefest of flirts with Charlie Radnedge, and an alleged ten-minutes under a Casa Amor duvet with George Tasker.
Was Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu on Dancing on Ice?
Ekin-Su competed on Dancing on Ice in early 2023, but she was eliminated in week four after going up against EastEnders star Patsy Palmer.
Was Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu on The Traitors?
What a match made in heaven - the Love Island winner did appear on the celebrity US version of The Traitors at the end of 2023. It is absolutely worth the watch for her dramatic betrayal and death (spoilers, soz).
Was Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu on Celebrity Big Brother?
This woman loves a reality show, and we're not complaining. We would watch her on Antique Roadshow at this point.
When it was announced that Celebrity Big Brother would be making a comeback, fans (us included) were understandably buzzed. Our excitement reached embarrassing levels when it was announced that Ekin-Su would join the CBB reboot and honestly, she is already our favourite housemate.
What's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's Instagram handle?
