She's one of the most iconic bombshells of all time!
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has revealed the real reason that she returned to Love Island, following the backlash she received during her time on and after Celebrity Big Brother.
She was the fourth housemate to be evicted of the 2024 series, and was met with a booing audience as she left the house.
Speaking on the Great Company podcast with Jamie Laing, Ekin confessed that after her CBB experience, she never wanted to do reality TV again.
She said: “So, I said to myself, I’m not going to do reality TV after Big Brother ever again. I was like, not doing it again. I was very like, no, I’m not going to go, but I would never do Love Island but actually, I was only saying that because Love Island reminds me of my ex."
Ekin revealed that the incentive to appear on the most recent series of Love Island: All Stars was her want to "rewrite her love story."
She said: "I said I wanted to go have fun and let all these barriers down.”

Ekin admitted her thought process while considering the return to reality TV.
She told herself: “Okay, stop being so scared of TV again, go back to something and take a risk, like, what’s gonna happen again? The worst you’re gonna get dumped. I’ve done that. I’ve experienced my lows. It’s only onwards and upwards from here. And look, I met someone. So, I’m so grateful.”
