Love Island’s Ekin-Su is 'unrecognisable' in resurfaced clip of her acting in TV soap

Love Island’s Ekin Su is unrecognisable in resurfaced clip of her acting in TV drama.

The actor has been causing quite a stir in the Love Island villa since entering on Day two alongside 25-year-old lounge host, Afia Tonkmor.

The moment she entered the villa she made it known she wasn’t going to beat around the bush, and unapologetically went after what she wanted.

The first bunch of Love Island contestants are coupled up and are getting to know each other.

Ekin-su had her eyes on Italian contestant and businessman Davide Sanclimenti from the get-go and stole him from Gemma Owens, who is now coupled up with fishmonger Luca Bish.

Things have been bumpy for Ekin-Su and Davide, as she appeared on camera upset saying “it’s the little things”.

The bombshell was upset as Davide had not brought her a morning coffee, like the rest of the girl’s, who had received a coffee from the boy they are coupled up with.

However, after Jay Younger and Remi Lambert entered the villa on Tuesday night’s episode, Ekin-Su made a move for Jay.

Before appearing on Love Island, Ekin-Su, 27, had built up a career as a professional actress and as an influencer.

The bombshell is from Essex and Love Island isn’t the first time she’s appeared on camera.

The Love Islander starred as Isil in Turkish TV series, Kuzey Yildizi and has said she's looking for "a serious man and a serious relationship."

In a resurfaced viral video clip from the Turkish soap, shared on Tik Tok, the stunner can be seen looking unrecognisable in her role as Kuzey Yildizi in a comedic scene with a fellow actor on the episode.

The star is in character wearing a red bandana and black top matched with green cargo pants, and completely different to appearing on Love Island.

Outside of acting, she is an influencer and had a huge following of 356k followers on Instagram.

Since the show began, her followers have jumped up to 403,000.

She regularly posts brand deals on her page, working with the likes of FashionNova and Parisian.

Ekin-Su is based in London and splits her time between there and Istanbul.

She also studied a degree in performing arts at the University of Central Lancashire where she took part in a reality tv project called “Lancashore”..

She is bringing her A-game to the villa and having fun in the process.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two.
