Love Island: All Stars could be in for a cosmic twist this year. Bosses are reportedly keen to get Ekin-Su Culculoglu, winner of the 2022 series, back on board following her split from co-winner Davide Sanclimenti. According to reports, ITV bigwigs made their pitch to Ekin-Su at last week's National Television Awards, but it seems she had other plans in mind and is allegedly keen to host her own documentary series about extraterrestrial life.

"Ekin-Su is determined to front a documentary about UFOs, and spoke to all the ITV bigwigs about her idea while they were trying to encourage her to return to Love Island. Her quirkiness is part of her charm and the reason she is great telly," a source told the Mirror.

Earlier this year, following her stint on Celebrity Big Brother Ekin-Su opened up about how she was feeling and revealed that she felt that she had "lost" herself. "Haven’t felt myself for a long time, and I’ve realised i had kind of lost myself and for a while didn’t know who I was beyond being defined by ex relationships or TV shows, and that needs to change! I am so excited for all the growth and full healing," she wrote.

However, it's reported that she hasn't given ITV a definitive no, so there's still a chance she might make a comeback, reports the Mirror. OK! has contacted representatives for Ekin-Su Culculoglu for comment.

In the past, Ekin-Su has spoken about how she saw a "UFO" while on a trip to Los Angeles in 2022. In a video uploaded to her Instagram Story, the TV personality discussed the encounter while adding that she was working on a "top secret" while in LA.

"Guys, I swear I've just seen an alien. I swear I just saw a UFO," she said. “I'm not even joking, I always wanted to spot a UFO in America and I just did. I've just accomplished! Yes!"

It comes after the Love Island star gave some words of advice to fellow former Islander Molly-Mae Hague after it was revealed that she had Tommy Fury had gone their separate ways. Commenting on one of Molly-Mae's posts, she wrote: "Stay strong... and always put yourself first.. time will heal you. Lots of love."
