Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu ‘in talks to become Loose Women regular’

Love Island 2022 winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is reportedly “in talks” to become a Loose Women regular after appearing on the ITV show and impressing bosses, a source has revealed.

The 27-year-old made her debut on the ITV One daytime programme on Monday, August 8 alongside her partner Davide Sanclimenti.

ITV Studio bosses are now reportedly planning to have the reality star regularly feature on the Loose Women panel after leaving a good impression on the team.

A source told OK!: “There are talks for Ekin-Su to join the panel – she’d be great. She was very naturally funny, open and honest, and that’s what they want.

“She came across as really fun and genuine and she really impressed everyone.”

They added: “The Loose Women ladies also loved her. She really would be great as a regular panellist.”

Fans of the reality star have previously called for her to host Love Island. Now, fans are echoing these sentiments with praise for the star in her TV appearances.

One fan said: “Ekin Su is a presenter!! The presence she has is just wow. #LooseWomen”

Another added: “Ekin su is literally made for tv, she’s so natural around the camera.”

During the programme one panellist, Nadia Sawalha, honestly shared her changed perception of the winning couple before later posting a picture with them on her Instagram story.

Sawalha told the pair: “What I loved was, it taught me a lesson because I really judged both of you.

“When you first came on I didn’t like either of you. I judged you [Davide] because you were good looking and muscly and a bit full of yourself so I thought, ‘I don’t like him’.

She continued: “And I ended up liking you both the most. So I love that when I’m proved wrong.”
