About now is when names start flying around regarding the second series of Love Island All Stars.

The first season of the spin-off series was a wild ride and reminded usjust how iconic season one Joshua Ritchie is, not to mention who knew him and Sophie Piper would become such a hilarious couple?

Molly Smith and Tom Clare ended up winning the show - and are also still together FYI- but their time has been and gone, now it's all about All Stars 2025.

One name that is constantly being rumoured is Love Island 2022 winner turned Big Brother house mate, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

All you have to do is Google 'All Stars,' and the smiling face of the Turkish actress will be grinning back at you.

Although no one has been confirmed to be taking part in the show just yet we wouldn't be surprised if either Ekin or her ex, Davide Sanclimenti were part of the OG line-up.

Imagine they did a Molly Smith and Callum Jones are one the first bombshells of the season, oh that would be CHAOS.

Who is Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu?

Ekin-Su was a downright incredible addition to the Love Island 2022 villa. She entered the villa on day three and in our opinion is the ULTIMATE BOMBSHELL (we will not be taking any questions at this time), as she only went on to win the thing with then boyfriend Davide.

Since leaving the villa Ekin has gone on to star in several reality shows (including The Traitors, CBB and Dancing on Ice) and has worked with countless brands including Oh Polly and BPerfect Cosmetics.

She also has a book out called, 'Be Your Own Best Friend: And Other Lessons from a Life in and Out of the Limelight,' and has appeared on several magazine covers such as Grazia and Women's Health.

She took part in the rebooted Celebrity Big Brother in 2024 and lasted just 12 days before being voted out of the house.
