Love Island champion Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has vowed to give up filters because she wants to set a better example to women and young girls.
The 27-year-old is still basking in glory after winning the ITV2 reality show, along with partner Davide Sanclimenti, in a landslide victory.
The feisty couple won the hearts of the nation with their hilarious bickering, which saw the Italian business owner brand the soap star as an ‘actress and a liar’ in a now infamous line.
Since leaving the villa, the Turkish performer has been adjusting to her new normal, which has been a whirlwind of high-profile TV appearances, including The Big Breakfast and Lorraine.
And Ekin-Su, who is from Essex, has clearly been reflecting on her new-found fame and the impact her huge platform can have.
Taking to Instagram Stories, the actress announced: ‘I’ve also decided I’m not going to be using filters any more, no.
‘I think it’s a bad example for all the women out there and young girls. So no more filter.’
As well as going filter-free, Ekin-Su has lots of exciting projects in the pipeline which are sure to give her a radiant glow.
With Davide, 27, she is launching a new ITV2 show, which will see the couple travel around Europe and cook for each other.
She explained on The Big Breakfast: It’ll be all real fighting, he’ll be cooking for me, I’ll be cooking for him.
‘It’ll be two cultures, meeting families.’
The business owner and Ekin-Su also confirmed they would be taking the next step in their relationship by moving in together.
An ‘over the moon’ Ekin-Su shared news of their next chapter during an appearance on Monday’s Lorraine with Christine Lampard.

‘So, basically, we’ve decided that we are moving in together,’ she added. ‘Confirmed.’
