Curious to know about Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu’s dramatic entrance in Love Island: All Stars Season 2? The new season wasted no time in delivering a surprise that has fans buzzing. With a dramatic entrance and a high-stakes challenge, the latest entrant is set to shake up the villa right from the start.
Let’s explore what Cülcüloğlu’s return means for the Islanders and how it sets the tone for the drama ahead.
Who is Love Island: All Stars Season 2’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu?
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, the winner of Love Island UK Season 8 in 2022, made a surprise return to the villa as the first bombshell of Love Island: All Stars Season 2.
Introduced during the premiere episode by host Maya Jama, Cülcüloğlu entered the show with a twist. She was tasked with selecting three male contestants to spend time with, in the secret garden before making a decision to steal one of them within 24 hours.
This marks Cülcüloğlu’s second appearance on Love Island, following her victory alongside Davide Sanclimenti in 2022. She arrived as a bombshell on the third day of season eight back then and went on to claim the title of the show with Sanclimenti. The two dated for over a year before splitting in 2023. Their breakup gained significant attention due to conflicting public statements, with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu announcing the split first and Sanclimenti disputing her version of events. Despite their separation, both have maintained their prominence in the media.
Cülcüloğlu stated that she joined Love Island: All Stars to “re-write her story.” She called the show a key part of her journey and reflected on her growth during the original season. Her return sparked mixed reactions, with some fans excited and others questioning her motives due to her past comments about distancing herself from the franchise.
Alongside her TV appearances, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu secured major brand deals, including one with Oh Polly. Her Love Island comeback reunites her with former co-star Luca Bish, building anticipation for the All Stars series. Additionally, her return brings both nostalgia and new drama to the show. Viewers will closely watch to see how her second villa journey unfolds in the new season.
