Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has her sights set on re-launching her acting career after her reality show victory.
The stunning star, 28, hopes to make a break into soap land next year – after winning Love Island alongside her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti in the summer.
Since leaving the villa the Turkish star, who recently confirmed Paige and Adam are over, has enjoyed huge success, signing up for Dancing on Ice and signing up with brands.
However, Ekin-Su fans can expect way more from the rising star, as she has set her sights on a career in acting and revealed hopes to play an 'evil' character in Coronation Street in an exclusive chat.
Ekin-Su, who sat down with the Mirror in partnership with Beauty Works, revealed: "So my next move is acting. It's actually what I want to do, the main thing.
"But, due to just coming out fresh [from Love Island] – it's been two months – with brand deals and Dancing on Ice is going to take time... I think realistically it will be probably when Dancing on Ice finishes, then I'll be going into my acting full time."
And when asked if she would like to do a soap, Ekin-Su revealed: "I would like to do Coronation Street – or even Hollyoaks. Something that has got drama. I wanna be the psychopath girl on there that causes drama, basically.
"The one who's jealous, the one who's evil but married with a man and just maybe cheats on the man – just someone really crazy."
Ekin-Su also has her sights set on the silver screen, too as she said: "If I was to be in a film I'd rather be in an action film like Lara Croft style – I'd love to fight, I'd love to be in an army film.
"Or like a thriller, playing a really mysterious woman who's haunted but has split personalities. I think I have a dark side that people don't know that I love to play, if I had to play a character."
During her time on Love Island a video showing Ekin-Su in a Turkish soap resurfaced online.
Two years before her time on Love Island Ekin-Su was cast in the Turkish television series Kuzey Yıldızı İlk Aşk – which translates to North Star First Love – where she played photographer Işıl, who later saves the life of the main character.
The plot of the show sees a man abandon his fiancée for a new woman after going to university.
However, two decades later, karma hits when his wife leaves him and he is forced to go back to his hometown and the family who cut all ties with him.
Ekin-Su, who studied musical theatre at East 15 Acting School, also starred in starred in Lancashore, which was labelled a "reality TV show following the lives of a group of students in Preston", during her time at the University of Central Lancashire.
