Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu can expect a lot of attention following her victory on the dating show alongside Davide Sanclimenti, but a latest revelation might come as a bit of a surprise.
The Turkish Delight, 27, would have received an influx of private messages on Instagram since leaving the luxury Majorcan villa, but one star has opened up on his chance message to the beaut which made her sit up and take notice - and call.
Ekin-Su, who brought a lot of drama to the popular ITV2 series has seen her number of followers go through the roof - currently sitting at 2.6 million - and Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp admitted he chanced his arm and sent the beauty a direct message.
The 17-year-old who plays Will Byers on the Netflix drama and has 26.9 million followers himself was speaking to Millie Bobby Brown on an Instagram Live chat when he dropped the surprising info. He told his fellow cast member: "I DM'd Ekin-Su and she answered me."
As Millie gasped in shock and went on to give a comical impression of Davide's famous "you are a liar" line, Noah continued giddily: "I did. And we video called."
The clip between Millie and Noah was shared on Twitter and fans were quick to share their love for the admission. One user gushed: "This crossover is EVERYTHING."
Another agreed, saying: "This is the most random crossover we didn't know we needed," while a third revealed it isn't the first time he's reached out to an islander, saying: "He also dmd lucinda from last year."
Ekin-Su confirmed Noah's claim during her chat with On Demand Entertainment. She said: "He messaged me being like, ‘oh my god, I love you so much, you killed it”, and I was like ‘Thank you’, and he goes, ’I love you!'."
The reality TV star is set to become the richest Love Island contestant in history following her eventful stint in the villa. She is set to become “very busy” with cash brand deals and could overtake Molly-Mae as the show’s most successful contestant, according to a PR expert.
Molly-Mae came in second place with Tommy Fury on the 2019 series of the hit-ITV dating show and she's since gone on to become a multi-millionaire. But now the expert says Ekin-Su is set to land a number of huge deals.
They said: "It’s not just clothing brands, but big, global corporate brands that want to work with her. She’s going to be a very, very busy girl."
