Love Island's Ekin-Su sets sights on Eurovision after secret music career unearthed

Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has her sights set on winning Eurovision for the UK.

The actress' secret singing past was revealed while she was on the ITV2 show, after fans were thrilled to discover the multi-talented star's vocals featured on a song called Yeniden Başlasın with Turkish popstar Seçil Gür.

Fans began an online campaign for Ekin-Su to represent the UK and now the 28-year-old reality star has responded to the calls and confirmed she would love to take part in the singing competition.

In an interview this weekend, Ekin-Su told Goss.ie she’d throw her hat in the ring.

When asked if she could see herself representing the UK or Turkey in the song contest, the 28-year-old gushed: “Yes, I’d love to! That’s a big fat yes!”

“Yeah I’d love to do that, honestly,” she added.

Turkey has not participated in the Eurovision since 2012 in protest at changes in the contest’s voting system so representing the UK may be her only option.

And what better time to join the line up as the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest is set to take place in the United Kingdom.

War-torn Ukraine won this year but are unable to host due to security concerns caused by Russia ’s invasion.

Ekin-Su’s fans were floored by her talent when they discovered her pop videos while she was on Love Island and took to social media to urge her to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest next year.

Even former Love Island winner Amber Gill threw her support behind the campaign, adding: "Ekin-su is going get us the Eurovision win!?! Who would have thought #loveisland."

She also showed off her impressive singing vocals on the show during a rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Going all out for the popular kids' lullaby, Ekin-Su sang for the babies as they put them all to bed during the baby challenge.

Hitting all the notes and making a ballad out of the lullaby, Ekin-Su sung in front of her Islanders - with viewers confused as to why she didn't sing in the talent show.

It comes as Ekin-Su reunited with Davide Sanclimenti for the first time in ten days on Sunday following images of the Italian Stallion with other women.

While Ekin-Su was working on a shoot for Oh Polly in Los Angeles recently, partner Davide, 27, was spotted getting into a taxi with two Icelandic stunners after attending KSI's fight at the O2.

Anita Gunnarsdottir and her friend Matthildur Ylfa Þorsteinsd also sat beside him throughout the boxing match.

The relationship didn't appear to be strained on Davide's Instagram story, however, as he shared a quick clip of them sharing a kiss after declaring: "Finally back with my queen, together enjoying life."

Ekin-Su, meanwhile took to her own story to share a sweet snap of her beau sleeping as he laid on her, before adding a video of a takeaway they later shared together.

The bombshell had already attempted to put the record straight by telling Goss.ie this week: "I mean those videos, we know it's not true because I was talking to him the whole night. You know the relationship is between me and him and people like to talk."

"The truth behind that is it wasn't just him, it was a big group, and it just happened to be two girls in a taxi with him and his friend and it just looked wrong, that's all it was. And you know I trust him, he didn't cheat, and he's my man."
