Love Island: Davide and Ekin-Su kiss
Love Island ‘s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu looks unrecognisable in a resurfaced ‘reality show’ video that she’s said to have taken part in whilst she was at university almost a decade ago.
The actor, 27, joined the villa a few days into the latest series of the ITV2 show, with her having already made quite the impression on islanders including Davide Sanclimenti, 27.
She was introduced as an actor who’s been on a soap opera in Turkey, with it since revealed that she took part in a ‘reality show’ whilst at the University of Central Lancashire.
It’s been reported that she went under the name Suzie Hayzel at the time, taking part in the film project while in her first year of a degree in performing arts at the university.

According to the Sun, a source said she was “nice enough” at the time of the project, Lancashore. They added: “[She was] popular with the guys and quite glam for a student.”
The ‘pilot episode’ of Lancashore has resurfaced amid her appearance on Love Island, with it having been “reality TV show following the lives of a group of students in Preston.”
The video – which appears to have been made for student TV station PSTV in 2012 – shows a woman who’s understood to be Ekin-Su wearing a tight-fitting monochrome dress.
Scenes in the ‘pilot episode’ include Ekin-Su and other students taking part in a game of Never Have I Ever, with her teasing that she fancies one of her fellow students in it.

She’s understood to have had breast implants and an uplift at a facility in Turkey last year, with her having also visited a clinic in the country for the procedure on her teeth.
Ekin-Su told her followers on the social media platform that it cost her around £4,000 for the “perfect smile,” which involved having 10 teeth down at the top and 11 on the bottom.
