Ekin-Su is followed by Piers’ son Spencer on instagram, and he’s not the only well-known male who keeps tabs on her social media.

Ekin also counts TOWIE ladies’ men Pete Wicks and James Locke among her impressive 345,000 followers, as well as party-boy Wayne Lineker.

The beauty, who splits her time between London and Istanbul, has starred in a Turkish TV series, Kuzey Yildizi, and while she may not been known on these shores yet, that’s sure to change when she turns heads on the ITV2 hit.

A source close to the show said: “Ekin-Su is the perfect contestant to get viewers tuning in this summer.
