Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has been the leading lady in this year's Love Island - which makes sense considering what her day job is.
When asked what her claim to fame was before going into the villa, Ekin-Su said: "I'm an actress in Turkey on a programme called Kuzey Yildizi."
The 27-year-old, who comes from Essex, has been at the centre of her own soap opera during her time on the ITV2 dating show.
From her explosive rows with Davide Sanclimenti to crawling around to go for a secret kiss on the terrace, the Turkish beauty has been involved in a number of dramatic storylines.
And her job has been used against her in the villa, with the Italian stallion famously branding her a "liar" and "actress" in a foul-mouthed rant.
When Ekin first entered the villa as one of the first sets of bombshells, she opened up about some of her roles while on a date with Liam Llewellyn.

"I've played really weird characters," she confessed as they enjoyed champagne, adding: "I've played a serial killer."
Liam was seemingly a bit taken aback and they began speaking about each other's colourful eyes.
Ekin-Su was born in Islington, London before her family moved to Loughton in essex when she was 10-years-old.
She studied musical theatre at East 15 Acting School and competed in a number of beauty pageants, representing Ireland in Miss Asia Pacific World in 2011.
While studying performing arts at the University of Central Lancashire, the Islander starred in Lancashore, which was labelled a "reality TV show following the lives of a group of students in Preston."
The show was meant to be a version of Geordie Shore for university students - and in one scene Ekin starts talking about her love life.
While discussing a group of lads who lives upstairs, she says: "Are they hot? Because I'm single, so..."
In another scene, they are all playing a drinking game when Ekin confesses she fancies one of the guys by having a sip from her glass.
"He's got banter. I quite like that. A guy's got to be funny and a guy's got to make a girl laugh," she says.
"I think they're really down to earth guys. I like them all, you know?"
In the university reality show, which was filmed in Ekin-Su's first year, she went by the name Suzie Hazel.
It's just one of the various stage names that Ekin has used over the years, with others including Su Hayzel and Su Ekin Cülcüloğlu.
Ekin-Su, who has previously split her time between London and Istanbul, then gt a role in Turkish soap opera Kuzey Yildizi in 2020, which saw a man abandon his fiancee for a new woman after going to university.
However, two decades later, karma hits when his wife leaves him and he is forced to go back to his hometown and the family who cut all ties with him.
In Kuzey Yildizi, which translates as North Star in english, Ekin-Su played the role of Işıl, a photographer from London.
Her character ends up who saves the life of leading character Kuzey - and in clips from the show Ekin can be seen speaking fluently in Turkish.
The synopsis reads: "Yildiz has loved Kuzey for as long as she has known. She has seen no one but him. Families are also friendly to each other. Kuzey and Yildiz are engaged.
"But when Kuzey goes to Istanbul to study at university, he forgets all his words and sets sail for new love. When this is learned by his family, Kuzey is excommunicated by everyone in the village, including his own family.
"Kuzey married the woman he loved. He had three children. Twenty years later, he experienced the pain that Yildiz experienced. He was abandoned by the woman he loved.
"Kuzey returns to his hometown with his three daughters. Yildiz swore to send him where he came from."
It is not known whether this character was the serial killer that Ekin-Su described on her date with Liam - or if that was another show she starred in.
Ekin-Su will probably be inundated with new roles once she comes out of the villa - and is now one of the favourites to win the series.
The actress has endured a rocky time on Love Island and her relationship with Davide did seem to be reaching a nice point until movie night threw a spanner in the works.
Before going in the villa, Ekin-Su said her dating history had been a "let down" because of "narcissistic men" and she wanted to make a change by going for "nice guys".
On why she was going on the show now, she said: "I've seen relationships that have worked out really well - and marriages! Dom and Jess, Camilla and Jamie - they’ve had kids as well.
"Dating for me has been very hard, especially in today's world with dating apps. It's a very false perception of somebody on these apps. I've found that whenever I’ve tried to date somebody through these apps, it’s been really unsuccessful.
"I'm looking for that real genuine spark and they just see me as me. I think the concept of the show brings back true and raw feelings."
She added: "I used to fall in love quite quickly but now I don't fall for the little tricks. Actions speak louder than words. If he's proving to me that he's nice, I'll let my wall down and fall in love quite quickly. "
