Ekin-Su Culculoglu is quitting the UK for huge acting role in the US

Ekin-Su Culculoglu revealed she is quitting the UK for a huge acting role in the US as she updated fans on her career moves via her Instagram page on Wednesday. 

The Love Island 2022 winner, 28, told followers she is taking her brand ‘global this summer’ as she prepares to follow her ‘acting dream’. 

It comes as MailOnline exclusively revealed earlier this week that the reality star had been dropped from Beauty Works, her second brand deal in two months. 

Ekin-Su’s collaboration with the beauty brand came to a sudden end after she previously parted ways with clothing brand Oh Polly. 

The Turkish beauty opened up in a candid Instagram Story filmed from her kitchen in London and admitted she is ‘really excited’ about her upcoming projects abroad.

She said: ‘It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I know you guys have got a few questions about what’s going on and what’s lined up in the pipeline and you know I love you all so I just wanted to talk to you guy on here.

‘So firstly, I’ve had loads of people asking me what I’ve got lined up so here it goes. I have a really exciting announcement to make. 

‘Within the next few weeks, I’ll be going abroad. It’s a really exciting project and I will be working with an amazing charity that I’m so passionate about.

‘And secondly guys, I mean I can’t even say because I’m super excited but I will be taking it global this summer and I’m going to America to pursue my acting dream and my acting jobs out there. 

‘I have got some meeting set up already and I’m going to keep you posted, alright.’

Previously, the reality star has appeared in a Turkish soap opera in 2022 before going on to win the eighth series of the ITV2 reality series Love Island alongside boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti, 27. 

She also had a spin-off show with her beau Davide as they travelled around Italy and Turkey in a two part special and appeared on Dancing On Ice. 

In the video, Ekin-Su went on to gush how much she ‘absolutely loves Beauty Works’ despite no longer working with the online giant after signing a ‘year-long partnership’ in October.

Ekin-Su has not shared an affiliated Instagram post with the brand this year but wanted to make it ‘super clear’ to fans that she ‘loved working with them’. 

The actress cut a casual figure in a plunging black bodysuit and swept her long dark tresses up in a ponytail as she enjoyed a hot drink while commenting on the news.

She said: ‘But finally I just want to say one more thing that I’ve had questions about before I forget, it’s about Beauty Works. 

‘Look as you’ve seen I’m no longer working with them but I just want to make it super clear that I absolutely love Beauty Works.

‘I loved working with them you know. I had my own edit with them and it was great. Anyways, have a lovely day. If you want to do a Q&A catch up we can do that but I just want to let you know I’m here and I’m enjoying life.’ 

It comes after the Beauty Works told MailOnline: ‘We worked with Ekin-Su in late 2022 on our Party Edit but will not be releasing any future edits. We wish her all the best for the future.’ 

The brand which also famously works with the likes of Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague, Maura Higgins, Zara McDermott and Millie Court has since removed Ekin-Su from their celebrity side bar.

Ekin has in turn removed Beauty Works from her Instagram bio which now reads: ‘Love Island Winner S8. Ambassador for @bperfectcosmetics @ohpolly’.

After amassing over 3.2million Instagram followers, Ekin-Su also signed partnerships with beauty brand B Perfect Cosmetics and clothing brand Oh Polly after the villa, as well as becoming the Islander from the 2022 series to star in Dancing On Ice.

At the time, Ekin-Su announced her Beauty Works deal with a glamorous behind the scenes video as she described it as a ‘pinch me moment’.

Her latest work news comes shortly after it was revealed Ekin-Su is taking legal action against clothing brand Oh Polly after she was dropped less than six months after signing the ‘biggest clothing deal in Love Island history’.

The reality star signed a £1million contract following the ITV show and launched just one 16-piece collection which is now being sold off by the brand at reduced prices.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Both the brand and Ekin have been left disappointed and there is now a dispute over money owed on the lucrative contract.’

A source told MailOnline at the time that the partnership, which saw Ekin-Su launch her first ever collection last October followed by a massive launch party, ‘wasn’t working’ and the Dancing On Ice star’s range struggled to appeal to Oh Polly’s customer base.

‘Ekin-Su and Oh Polly have parted ways,’ an insider revealed.

‘It’s complicated right now, and Ekin-Su won’t be publicly commenting on the end of her working relationship with the brand but there will be no further collaborations.’

Her former co-stars and runners-up of the series of Love Island Gemma Owen and Indiyah Polak were signed by PrettyLittleThing while Tasha Ghouri became the brand ambassador for Love Island sponsor eBay.
