Turkish delight
Reportedly, Love Island bosses are planning to line up the Turkish actress as she will be good for the show. Ekin-Su has 346000 followers on her Instagram along with some pretty big names on that list. TOWIE ladies’ man Pete Wicks and James Locke are among her followers along with party-boy Wayne Lineker. Ekin-Su has starred in a Turkish TV series Kuzey Yildizi and shares her time between London and Istanbul. The Turkish beauty may not be famous in the UK yet. But this is sure to change if she stars in the show. A show insider confirmed:
Ekin-Su is the perfect contestant to get viewers tuning in this summer.
Not only is she beautiful, she’s also used to being on TV and moves in showbiz circles so she’s sure to bring fireworks.
She’ll have no shortage of guys after her in the villa, that’s for sure.
Who else is rumoured to be on the show?
Heading into its eighth season, the show has sparked many rumours ahead of its official advertisement or promo. 2022 summer season will yet again line up hot singles in a new luxury villa and while there hasn’t been an official announcement on who is going to be on the show but there are rumours. Here’s who can we possibly expect to see on the show apart from Ekin-Su:
Sophie Draper
The 22-year-old beauty salon owner who previously dated footballer Matty Cash is rumoured to be on the show.
Brad McDermott
Brad is former Love Island star Zara McDermott’s brother who is said to be in talks with the show producers to be on the show.
While these names have pretty good backing to be on the show, all of this still remains speculation as ITV stated:
Any names suggested are purely speculation at this stage.
