Ekin-Su reveals she’s bought her first home after cashing in on CBB and The Traitors US fame 2 years after Love Island

Her new career move has got off to an amazing start

REALITY TV starlet Ekin-Su Culculoglu has revealed she’s bought her first home.

The Love Island legend, 29, has coined it in since featuring on the show two years ago – with appearances on Celebrity Big Brother and The Traitors US as well as brand deals.

She wrote on social media: “Can’t believe I’ve just bought my own home… just before I turn 30.”

The Turkish actress was then inundated with congratulatory messages from fans.

Ekin previously lived in a stunning riverside apartment in London with ex Davide Sanclimenti before they split up last year.

And in a double dose of good news, Ekin is also celebrating her upcoming book ‘Be Your Own Best Friend’ shooting straight to the top of Amazon‘s Hot New Releases chart.

Ekin has been busying herself with the recording of the audio version of the non-fiction tome which documents her rise to the top and how she’s coped with fame.

She recently told us: “I’ve got a book coming out which is all about me and the people I’ve met in life.

“You are going to know who I am. You’re going to know why I am the way I am.

“From childhood traumas to extreme bullying to boyfriends continuously breaking my heart, why I felt abandoned. Why I was always closer to older people.

“So it’s everything, my experience with Davide, there’s a lot in there.

“I’m done hiding. I’m done lying and protecting other people, this is my truth.”

She added: “There’s also advice to help if you feel like this, what can you do? Every chapter has an advice section.

“And there is a letter that I wrote to myself at the end, it’s quite emotional.

“I speak to the 10-year-old me in the book and told her all the things I wished someone had told me back then.”

Ekin has been on a period of self-reflection since she crumbled in the CBB house earlier this year, when fans accused her of fakery.

She admitted the emotional turmoil of her relationship with ex Davide had left her battered, with no idea who she was.

“It was like therapy doing this book,” she said.

“At some points I did question whether I want the world to know certain things about me

“But I also don’t just want to be defined as that dramatic girl from Love Island who crawls on the floor for a snog!

“I want people to know me for me, not the work I’ve done or the wrong’uns I’ve dated.

“I want to be liked for being me.

“I don’t think many people have given me a chance to show my true self.

“I mean why would anybody really know me, when all they know is the girl on produced reality shows, and it also doesn’t help that I’m still learning who the hell I am.”
