Love Island’s Ekin-Su teases role on soap as she lines up meetings with top TV bosses
LOVE Island star Ekin-Su has teased a potential role on a soap as she lined up meetings with top TV bosses.
The reality star, 28, won the smash-hit ITV2 dating show last summer with her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti, 27.
Since the show wrapped and she returned to the UK Ekin-Su has been inundated with work offers.
She recently competed on this year’s Dancing On Ice alongside the likes of Joey Essex, Michelle Heaton and Siva Kaneswaran.
However, Ekin was left emotional when she became the third celeb to be booted off the ice.
But she’s eyeing up more telly and acting opportunities ahead of her big move to America this summer.
She exclusively told The Sun: “We’re going with my manager and PR team.
“We’ve got some meetings lined up in LA so we’re aiming big and high.”
Although she’s “aiming high” Ekin said she would be open to a potential soap role here.
She said: “I’ve done it before Love Island, I was on TV for soaps in Turkey and I have a degree in it, I did it at Uni so it’s always been my career.”
The star was in Ireland to celebrate the success of her collaboration with makeup brand BPerfect cosmetics.
While promoting the trip, Ekin mistakenly pronounced an Irish county wrong.
She said: “Hi guys, I’m extremely excited to meet you all for the meet-and-greet with BPerfect in Ireland this weekend.
“Thursday I’m in Belfast, Friday I’m in Wexford and Saturday I am at Limerick.
“I can’t wait to meet you all. I’m super excited. I love Ireland and love you all. See you there soon.”
In a blunder she pronounced Limerick the same way you would say ‘lime’ – the fruit, and a person named ‘Rick’.
She laughed off the mistake after being corrected by her Irish fans.
Ekin-Su appeared in Hickey’s Pharmacy in Gorey, Ireland to promote her collaboration with BPerfect Cosmetics.
