Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu makes sad admission about life after dating show

Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu has shared a sad admission about life after going on the dating show. The Turkish star won the ITV2 show alongside partner Davide Sanclimenti in 2022 and the couple were popular in the polls, winning with a massive 63.7 percent of the public vote.

But despite her popularity on-screen, Ekin-Su has said she has lost almost every friend she had before she went on the show and has found it hard to trust people. Speaking to Cosmopolitan UK, the 28-year-old said: "I’ve lost every friend I had. I don’t have any friends. I have one friend and that’s it.

"Unfortunately, with the fame, you see people’s true colours. People just want to be your friend because of your status, and it’s a hard industry to trust. No, I don’t actually have friends left. People I’d known for 10 years who were in my life… Selling stories is not very nice. I wouldn’t do that to someone.
