Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu made a dramatic entrance during last night’s opening episode of Love Island All Stars, and she is already the favourite to win.

Ekin-Su first appeared on the show in 2022, and won with her ex Davide Sanclimenti. The pair went on to have an extremely rocky relationship after coming out of the villa – and eventually called it quits in January 2024.

Despite previously confessing she would never do the show again when she starred in Celebrity Big Brother last year, Ekin-Su joins the likes of Curtis Pritchard, Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville in hoping for lasting love this time around.

The Turkish- British actress kept fans on the edge of their seats as she caused havoc in the villa the first time around, with her fiery relationship with Davide being a constant centre of drama throughout the show.

This time around, Ekin is hoping to find a genuine connections with someone, claiming: “I’d like a man that will love me when I’m in the worst mood possible but still understands why and has no judgments.

“I’d like someone supportive, I don’t care about looks and money – I want someone to be my biggest cheerleader.”

Now, the online bookmaker Betway is claiming Ekin-Su is the 3/1 favourite to be part of the winning couple in this year’s series. And former flame Davide is priced up at 5/1 with the bookmaker to return and come head to head with her in the South African Villa.

Mike Reading, a spokesperson at Betway, claims: “Ekin-Su is no stranger to drama and never shies away from speaking her mind. Her fiery spirit is what the public loved about her last time, from her iconic crawl across the terrace to her conflict with Davide, which resulted in quotes that have now gone down in Love Island history.”
