Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu has been one of the standout stars on this year’s Love Island thanks to her sassy attitude, her truth bombs and – of course – crawling on all fours to sneak off for a secret snog on the terrace with Jay Younger.
And according to her brother Arda, the 27-year-old is exactly the same in the real world as she is in the villa.
“Let’s just put it this way, she’s made it a very memorable year already,” teenager Arda laughs during his chat with new.
“People have accused her of acting and playing up to the cameras, but everything you’ve seen – the cheekiness, the sass, the confrontation – that’s Ekin-Su all over.”
And after an unpredictable week of twists and turns in Casa Amor left fans wondering what the future has in store for Ekin-Su and Davide Sanclimenti, 27, Arda tells us he hopes the two of them can patch up any differences.
“I’ve got such a soft spot for Davide,” he admits. “He seems like the most stable, self-assured guy in the villa. He’s a bit like
Ekin-Su in that he’s got a big head!”
Musician Arda also came to Davide’s defence when asked his thoughts on the boys’ Casa Amor mischief, saying, “The way I see it, he’s just making it even after how Ekin-Su played the game at the beginning!”
Here, Arda spills the beans on why Davide is the only man in the villa good enough for his sister and reveals what Ekin-Su is really like in a relationship…
