Love Island's Ekin-Su thrilled as 'idol' Vanessa Hudgens calls winner her 'fave'

Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was over the moon when her 'childhood idol' Vanessa Hudgens called the winner her 'fave'.

Actress Vanessa took to her Instagram Stories to share a snap of her enjoying a bubble bath while watching this year's Love Island.

The High School Musical star's laptop sat on the edge of the tub and the picture was taken during a scene with the Turkish actress.

"My fave," Vanesa captioned her post, much to Ekin-Su's delight.

The 27-year-old took to her own page to repost the story and share her delight with Vanessa watching the ITV2 show.

"My childhood idol is watching the show [shocked face emoji] [heart eyes emoji]," Ekin-Su captioned the post.

Ekin-Su rose to fame after her incredible appearance in this year's series.

People loved her and her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti so much that they voted for the couple to win.

Since leaving the villa, Ekin-Su has been busy securing the bag with her six-figure deal with Oh Polly.

She recently teased that she will be "running over for a hug" with anyone she sees wearing styles from her Oh Polly collection, as the fashion range launched earlier this week.

It's the first partnership for the reality TV star, 28, since she was voted the winner of this year's show.

She announced her collaboration with fashion brand, Oh Polly, earlier this month after heading out to Los Angeles to work on promotional content for the new collection.

Speaking ahead of the launch this week, she said: "Fashion is something I've loved since being a child so to now be the face of my favourite brand is absolutely incredible."

"I am beyond thankful for the opportunity they have given me and to be able to share such a special moment with Davide has made it even more special," she added.

Ekin-Su further commented: "I've been wearing different dresses from my collection each day and am so excited to now be able to see other people wearing them too."

The Love Island alum teased: "If I see anyone out wearing one of my dresses I'll definitely be running over for a hug!"

Ekin-Su flew out to New York recently to promote the new range, where she was accompanied by her boyfriend Davide. The couple did some sightseeing whilst in the city together.

During the trip this week, she walked the runway in New York Fashion Week, where she modelled outfits from her new collection with Oh Polly as part of the exhibition.
