Davide and Ekin-Su announce upcoming travel show
Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu has set herself a new target – to become ‘classy’ like Michelle Keegan.
The Turkish actress from Essex, 27, said in message sent to pals that she intends to reinvent herself and be “classy” like former Coronation Street star Michelle.
Michelle is known for her roles in the ITV soap as well as the BBC drama series Our Girl, and Ekin-Su, wrote: “I really want to be that girl who is classy, like Michelle Keegan.
“She is really fit, but then she is so classy. I want to be like Michelle Keegan, literally, that’s how I want to portray myself.”

Michelle, who is married to ex-Towie star Mark Wright, is raking in an estimated £2.5million a year having established herself as a TV darling.
And Ekin-Su is hoping she can make the jump into television using her past as a Turkish soap star.
She has announced plans to present a spin-off show with fellow winner Davide Sanclimenti in which they will go on road trips to their home countries.
During Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast on Saturday, the couple, who won over Love Island viewers as their fiery relationship evolved during the eight-week series, unveiled the upcoming project with ITV2 which will see them visit Turkey and Italy to meet each other’s families and explore their cultures.
Ekin-Su is making the most of her fame and has now signed the biggest Love Island fashion deal worth more than £1million with fashion brand Oh Polly.
Davide revealed last week that he had been shunned from the contestants’ group chat.

The businessman told Capital Xtra that he had yet to be added to the contestants’ WhatsApp group after leaving the show.
Davide, 27, was asked: “Is there a Love Island WhatsApp group and has anyone left it if there is?”
He answered: “No. To be honest, nobody has added me.” Host Robert Bruce then asked if he has been ‘left out of the group chat’. “No, I didn’t leave. I’d never been added. Not yet,” Davide admitted.
