Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu revealed she was excited about her future as an actress and admitted she had no fears ahead of the new contestants’ exit from the villa.
The 27-year-old won the reality dating series last year with her partner Davide Sanclimenti, also 27.
Wrapping up last Monday night, the current season hosted by Maya Jama took place in South African and saw Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan replace the former winners as the UK’s most loved up couple.
However, the Turkish actress revealed she wasn’t threatened by a fresh batch of islanders as she was set in her plans moving forward.
The star opened up to Women’s Health about her ambitions: ‘They always say: “There’s a new Love Island, there’s this, there’s that, you’ll be forgotten.”
‘But that doesn’t bother me because of who I am. I know what I’m going to do in life. And I know my dream.

‘Acting in films; playing roles and quirky characters; something that would make you think: “Oh, Ekin is not this”, but then I smash it…’
She shared that she was already making tracks towards a serious career on screen: ‘[March] that’s when I start looking for an acting agency, putting myself out [there], you know, try to distance myself as much as I can from the Love Island scene and, yeah, be my own person’.
During the same chat, she explained how she has kept the spark alive with her partner on the outside world.
The pair live together and are actively supportive of one another as they navigate their newfound fame.

The Italian stood by his partner as she competed in Dancing on Ice and admitted to Metro.co.uk that he was planning on popping the question to his girlfriend at some stage in the future.
He said: ‘I feel like I’ve got everything I’ve been asking for. I find myself really good with Ekin.
