Inside Love Island Ekin-Su's very glamorous home as she starts new life with Davide

Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu has returned home after spending the past eight weeks in the Spanish villa with Davide Sanclimenti.

The loved-up couple won the Virgin Media reality show on Monday by a landslide, beating the likes of Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, as well as Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope.

Viewers couldn't get enough of the popular show as they watched the contestants in the gorgeous Spanish villa - and it appears Ekin-Su's own home is just as glamorous.

The Turkish-born actress, 27, shared some glimpses into the property before going into the show as a bombshell, leaving fans seriously impressed.

In a series of Instagram posts, Ekin-Su - who spends her time between the UK and Turkey - showed off the stunning pad with her followers.

The property has a neutral feel with cream painted walls and wooden flooring, Mirror UK reports.

Meanwhile, another room boasts an exposed brick wall with dark wooden accents.

Whilst celebrating Christmas with pals, Ekin-Su posed in her living room complete with a dark grey sofa and a decorated tree.

The post also gave a glimpse into her dining room, which is home to a large wooden table and chairs.

The property also has a large full length mirror, making it the perfect spot for Ekin-Su to check out her outfits.

It comes after Ekin-Su appeared unrecognisable in a newly uncovered picture of her competing as Miss Ireland almost a decade ago.

The 27-year-old looked strikingly different in her younger years - and a new photo has emerged of her at the age of 18 looking virtually unrecognisable.

The throwback snap, which has went viral on social media, shows her in a white bikini and Ireland sash as she competes as Miss Ireland.

The London-born actress, who was raised in both Istanbul and England, did not mention any links to Ireland during her time in the villa - although did appear to use an Irish accent at one point during an argument with Dubliner Dami.

The reality star has been open about her cosmetic surgery and even had a non-surgical nose job and Botox treatment before she made her way into Love Island.

She also previously discussed having had veneers and a breast augmentation.

Meanwhile, a brand expert predicted Ekin is set to make millions following her time on the Virgin Media show.

According to the expert, the actress could even go “way beyond” the success of former contestant Molly-Mae Hague.

Molly-Mae came in second place with Tommy Fury on the 2019 series of the hit-Virgin Media dating show and she's since gone on to become a multi-millionaire.

The creative director of PrettyLittleThing and her and professional boxer boyfriend Tommy, both 23, are rumoured to boast a joint net worth of over £2 million (€2.3m).

A source revealed just how successful Ekin-Su could be thanks to her stint on Love Island.

"There’s a pretty well-trodden path for Love Island winners. Over the past seven series it’s the usual fast fashion, drugstore make-up and then, of course, teeth whitening and protein shakes.

"Only Molly-Mae has really and truly broken that mould but even she ended up finding a home at a High Street fashion brand, Pretty Little Thing, albeit on a £250,000 (€296,000) salary," a source told The Sun.

"Ekin’s appeal to brands appears to have gone way beyond all that.

"It’s not just clothing brands, but big, global corporate brands that want to work with her. She’s going to be a very, very busy girl."

Ekin-Su reunited with her family after returning to the UK alongside Davide and her fellow Islanders earlier this week.
