Ekin-Su: £6m battle for Love Island queen
And it’s hardly surprising that Ekin-Su could be carving her way to a very successful career. Even though she’s new to the reality circuit, she’s an old-timer when it comes to TV. Before becoming the queen of Love Island, she starred in a Turkish series called Kuzey Yıldızı İlk Aşk, playing a photographer who saved the life of the leading character. And showing her versatility in true Ekin-Su style, she also portrayed a serial killer in a Turkish soap opera.
She has been making waves on Instagram, too. Before appearing on the show, she’d racked up around 350,000 followers and as more viewers got onboard #teamEkin, she became the first Islander from this series to reach the milestone one million followers while still in the villa. And just under two weeks later, the count has doubled. Signs of a star in the making, if you ask us.
It was obvious from her bombshell arrival on day three that Ekin-Su would go down in the Island history books. She’s been credited for carrying the series, which seems a fair statement when you think back to the entertainment she provided.
But viewers predicted the happy ending with her Italian hunk, with their reconciliation written in the stars after that romantic vineyard date. We have been invested ever since and can’t wait to see what the future holds for the queen and king of Love Island.
