Former Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has shared a slew of childhood pics of herself - and fans have been swift to praise how beautiful she was even as a little girl. As well as plenty of comments which labelled the brunette beauty ‘gorgeous’ and beautiful’, with many praising her luscious locks even back then, another mischievously said of the Celebrity Big Brother star “I can already tell baby ekinsu was sassy and keeping everyone on their toes”.

Ekin-Su’s Instagram post came after her appearance on Monday morning on ITV’s Lorraine,, during which she chatted about her autobiography, Be Your Own Best Friend, published late last month.

The Turkish star, who won the 2022 season of Love Island alongside former partner Davide Sanclimenti, has said the new book tells the story of her "rollercoaster" life and the "lessons she's learned along the way”- from childhood bullies, to navigating difficult relationships – and learning to love her true self.

Most recently, Ekin-Su became one of the most controversial housemates to join TV2’s CBB which was eventually won by David Potts. During her time on the show Ekin-Su hit the headlines due to the no-holds-barred comments she made, as well as her behaviour towards some of the other contestants.

Now, having had time to reflect on the show, Ekin-Su told Lorraine she was always very "defensive," something which she said wouldn't happen if she went on again. She added;: "For me, Celebrity Big Brother is a good show. I don't regret it. I do understand it was the wrong time for me to go on the show. I was healing - I wasn't healed.

Ekin-Su after her eviction never returned for the live final of the show, something which she later described as "setting boundaries". Explaining her decision, she said: "I know it’s unlike me to hide away, but I’ve been taking some time to reflect. Sometimes in our lowest moments, we learn the most important lessons about ourselves."

Speaking equally candidly on Lorraine about her romance with Davide, she admitting that their romance turned into a "business relationship" as they navigated their new-found social media careers: "I think any relationship amplified under the spotlight is going to be harder. It's a test, isn't it? Everyone knows your business, somehow people will say things about your relationship."
