LOVE Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has made a major new career announcement – as she returns to the screens again.
The actress – who rose to fame in a soap opera in Turkey – took to Twitter to reveal her hopes to return to TV work.
Ekin-Su, 28, who made a splash in the villa this summer with beau Davide Sanclimenti, used to be a soap star before reality TV.
The Turkish star appeared on a number of programmes, with one show seeing her pretend down to drown in dramatic scenes.
Since Love Island, Ekin-Su is yet to return to acting, dedicating her time instead to a cooking show with Davide, 27.
But since returning from Italy and Turkey to film for the ITV programme, the star revealed she wants to “get back to acting”.
Taking to Twitter, Ekin-Su told her fans on Monday evening: “I need to get back into acting asap!”
Ekin-Su and Davide returned to screens last week in their new spin-off show Ekin-Su and Davide: Homecomings.
However, despite excitement over the programme, it was soon branded ‘fake’ by viewers after the first episode aired.
Savvy followers of the couple were convinced the drama in the show was scripted after the pair had a row within the opening ten minutes.

Ekin-Su began to sulk after she noticed a video on Davide’s phone of him and his friends partying with some girls back at his flat in Manchester.
Davide told her she should not have been looking at his phone gallery, but insisted it was just his mates chatting to the women.
“Obviously I don’t want this to ruin our trip but I have still got my eye on you,” Ekin told Davide. “Stuff like that is a red flag for me.”
“You can have your eye on me, I have nothing to hide,” Davide insisted.
Ekin then said in a to-camera interview: “I mean you are in a relationship, you shouldn’t have girls back in your flat.
“It is just not on really, we are here for a good time, a holiday, in Verona, the city of love and I’m seeing that on his phone. I just think that is a bit weird and I got annoyed.”
The next morning however, Ekin told her man he was “lucky” that she “forgave” him and many viewers believed this proved the argument was nothing more than invented tension by the producers.
“ITV definitely told them they have to have arguments for the drama so they had to make something up,” wrote one viewer on Twitter.
“Ekin Su and Davide – 14 minutes in and it’s a fake pile of s***,” fumed a second, while a third said: “I live for the fake drama.”
