Love Island's Ekin-Su keen to show off her skills on Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins

Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu would like to be victorious again – on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Straight-talking and sassy Ekin-Su, 28, has told pals she would love to be tested to her limits by the ex-special forces team on the Channel 4 show.

Sources say her representatives are in talks with the hit series, which is keen to sign her.

One pal said: “Ekin would be brilliant on Celebrity SAS – she’s incredibly tough and determined, and she would give the training her all.

“It would be a great opportunity for her to take on a real challenge. A lot of people still see her as a glossy, glamorous Love Island winner.

“Taking part in this would show avery different side to her. She might be glamorous, but she has an awful lot of grit and she gets stuck in.

“Her team suggested to her earlier this year that she go for it, and she was fully on board. She’s told pals she’d love to be involved.”

Ekin-Su was the runaway hit of last year’s Love Island which she won with Davide Sanclimenti.

In February, she was the third star to be voted off ITV ’s Dancing On Ice.

Last month the ex-soap actress, whose parents are Turkish, returned to the country with the Sunday Mirror and the Red Cross to visit children affected by devastating earthquakes.

In last year’s Celebrity SAS, Ferne McCann, Maisie Smith, AJ Pritchard and Calum Best emerged victorious from the rigorous SAS training.

It is expected to return in September.
