Love Island: All Stars cast gush over ‘sexy’ and ‘confident’ Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu as viewing figures soar after her bombshell entrance

BBG News

During the premiere of Love Island: All Stars on Monday night, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu certainly turned heads and caused a stir with her captivating arrival.

In the upcoming episode on Tuesday, the previous victor, aged 30, has been captivating her island companions, especially the women, who cannot help but express their admiration for the celebrity.

As Ekin gets ready for a string of dates with her selected three gentlemen, the flattery is already abundant. Kaz comments admiringly, “She carries herself with such confidence, and it’s amazing!

India then adds: ‘She’s sexy, she’ll go for it.’

Over the course of their celebration, the reality star opened up to her selected companions, delving into topics like aspirations and parenthood. This conversation revealed an unanticipated aspect of her personality.

Ekin’s dramatic debut significantly boosted viewership for the popular ITV dating program, as the premiere episode of the 2025 season experienced a 21% increase compared to the previous one in 2024.

The program reached its highest point with 1.1 million viewers on all platforms, was viewed a total of 1.3 million times, and attracted ITV2’s largest viewership among ages 16-34 in the past six months.

Although the islanders seemed captivated by Ekin, viewers didn’t share the same enthusiasm following their criticism towards Ekin for competing for a portion of the £50,000 prize, as they had already won just under three years prior.

Discussing X, who was previously recognized as Twitter, spectators raised doubts about her decision to reappear, with one commentator labeling her return ‘awkward’ or ‘unflattering’.

They penned: ‘Ekin is so greedy, she won so coming back again for what??’;

Ekinsu shouldn’t be part of LoveIsland AllStars as she had already won her original season, some might consider her overly praised.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d rephrase that statement like this: “Landing Love Island and securing 50K to revisit in a few years for another chance at love might raise eyebrows. Some may question the greed factor, but it all depends on one’s perspective, doesn’t it?

‘What’s the point of ekin returning when she’s already won? It’s quite obvious that she craves fame, especially given her Big Brother stint didn’t go as planned. I believe all the islanders can see through her facade and she’ll likely be voted off.’

Why is Ekin returning? You won the show the first time around, isn’t that enough?

Currently, there are reports stating that Ekin-Su is trying to regain her footing and rebuild her professional life after a challenging experience on Celebrity Big Brother last year.

On the ITV program, the television host encountered backlash from viewers due to her perceived favoritism towards Louis Walsh and Sharon Obsourne, faking emotional responses when nominated, and attempting to disassociate herself from Love Island.

Eventually, Ekin-Su faced jeers from the audience following her elimination. Later, the celebrity expressed disappointment about her portrayal on-screen, attributing it to the editing process.

Despite her aspirations to shift public opinion during her recent appearance on a reality TV show, a source shared with The Mirror that she faced significant difficulties and was disliked afterward. This time, though, it’s win-or-lose for her.

During her latest stint on a reality TV series, she aimed to change public sentiment, but sources told The Mirror that her experience was tough, with viewers turning against her. Now, it seems she’s taking an all-or-nothing approach.

Following Ekin-Su CBB fellow contestant Zeze Millz’s criticism, she spoke out against Ekin-Su for joining Love Island, a stance that contrasted with her earlier efforts to keep her association with the show minimal.

As a devoted admirer and, much like Zeze, I found myself perplexed by Ekin-Su’s choice to participate in Love Island post her stint on Celebrity Big Brother, given her earlier statements about distancing herself from the ITV dating series.

After the live broadcast on Monday, the host of the online chat show, who had disagreements with Ekin-Su during their time in the Big Brother house, shared her thoughts towards her publicly through a string of tweets to her 48,700 followers.

In a different wording, the text could be: “Ekin Su appeared prepared to confront me when I inquired about Love Island during Celebrity Big Brother.

Ekin Suuuu was constantly discussing her superiority towards Love Island during the entire Big Brother conversation. It’s clear she enjoys adding a dash of drama to the mix.

In another post, she stated: ‘Ekin Su spoke extensively about me over a period of more than two weeks, yet you ask me to act graciously. I’d appreciate it if you could understand this.’

Other enthusiasts similarly turned to X to convey their surprise over the ex-winner’s comeback, posting: “Ekin-Su re-entering the villa despite previously wanting to detach from #LoveIsland.

Couldn’t it be the same Ekin-Su who had such a strong reaction to anyone bringing up Love Island on Celebrity Big Brother, during the All Stars season? It just doesn’t seem possible! #LoveIslandAllStars

It tickles me that Ekin Su has decided to return to Love Island, a place she swore she’d never go back to for months. #LoveIsland #LoveIslandAllStars

If you followed Celebrity Big Brother, you might recall Ekin-Su making a big fuss about being linked to Love Island. Now, here she is again for #LoveIslandAllStars? Frankly, this is an actress we’re talking about.

As a devoted fan, I must express my take on Ekin-Su’s recent Big Brother discussion about her regrets over joining Love Island. To me, it seems more like a theatrical performance rather than heartfelt remorse. Now, she’s gracing our screens again as part of #LoveIslandAllStars.

After Ekin-Su disclosed her reasons for rejoining Love Island for its All Stars edition, she subtly took a jab at her former partner, Davide.

Anticipating her return, the stunning brunette expressed, “I long to go back to Love Island as it’s where my story began and holds a significant spot in my heart.

This place has been where I’ve shared laughter, tears, and countless lessons. Having the chance to return? Absolutely! Why not?

Why shouldn’t a victor be granted the opportunity to revise their tale and try again? My instincts are urging me to return, and I intend to heed that call.

In response to being asked about her current search, Ekin-Su shared that she is seeking someone who doesn’t excessively focus on themselves and someone who acknowledges their imperfections since everyone possesses them.

In a seeming reference to Davide, she expressed her preference: ‘I’d prefer a partner who can show affection even during my toughest moments and still comprehends the reasons behind it without passing judgment.’

I prefer a person who is encouraging, appearance and wealth aren’t important factors for me; what I truly seek is someone who will enthusiastically root for me.

For Ekin-Su, the most glaring warning sign is when someone presents an idealized version of themselves or a situation at the beginning, as that’s rarely authentic.

She emphasized that genuine love and deep connections begin by embarking on a shared journey, fostering friendship along the way, and taking time to learn about each other.
