Love Island's Ekin-Su's lavish life before entering the villa and rattling the girls

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is one of the latest contestants to enter the Love Island villa and has already started ruffling some feathers.

The 27-year-old has caught the eye of the boys and has already told the girls she isn't there to make friends and intends to find the love of her life instead.

The actress entered the villa alongside other newbie lounge host Afia Tonkmor, but it looks as if Ekin-Su is the one bringing the drama so far.

Despite the villa being very fancy and definitely comfortable to live in, it looks as if Ekin-Su is used to living the high-life and will fit right in to villa life.

The villa newbie is based between Turkey and Essex as she juggles her busy acting career, revealing that she has played some bizarre roles in her acting jobs.

The star regularly keeps her Instagram followers in the loop by sharing posts from Istanbul, where she mostly stars in soap operas.

Ekin-Su was first invited on a date with Love Islander Liam Llewellyn where she mentioned she played a serial killer in one of her jobs, but this didn't seem to put the Welsh boy off.

Poking fun at Liam's calm response, show narrator Iain Stirling joked: "It’s left Liam thinking, why would anyone want to kill cornflakes."

Ekin-Su is no stranger to the showbiz world as she has starred in Turkish soap Kuzey Yildizi since 2020.

She also works as an influencer, boasting more than 350k followers on her Instagram page alone.

She regularly posts brand deals on her page, working with the likes of FashionNova and Parisian.

The new villa member already has a list of famous followers including TOWIE stars Pete Wicks and James Locke, as well as Wayne Lineker and Piers Morgan’s son, Spencer.

Even though Ekin-Su is used to being in the limelight, it seems as if she wanted to get a complete makeover before going into the hit dating show.

She's been open about getting a breast augmentation and veneers around eight months before she went to enjoy the Spanish sun.

Already living in Turkey at the time, she went to Dental Design in Antalya, Turkey for her £4,000 veneers.

The star had 10 of her top teeth done and 11 at the bottom.

She also underwent a breast augmentation in Istanbul at Comfort Zone surgery.

Despite knowing the ropes of how the showbiz industry works, she's made quite a splash with fellow Love Islanders already.

She's made it clear she's got her eye on Davide Sanclimenti as well as telling Andrew Le Page that she's keen to get to know him as well.

When asked why she hasn't yet found love before going into the villa, Ekin-Su said: "Partially because I'm quite picky and I’m not just looking for looks, I'm looking for brains! I'm looking for someone with intelligence, someone who can have good chats.

"Nothing like cockiness! I'm looking for a serious man and a serious relationship."
