Love Island favourite Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is keen to get back into acting.

Now, with the world her oyster, she recently told The Sun: "I would actually love to go back to Turkey at some point and reconnect with some old agencies out there, who I was in a soap with.
"I speak both English and Turkish so why can't I have a career in both countries?"
The Islander went on to elaborate: "It is a hard industry and I think people always tell you, 'You can't do this, you can't do that,' but you have to keep pushing yourself really. Even when people say no, you have to keep going.
"The old show's finished now, but if there was a new project in Turkey, I definitely wouldn't say no."

This comes after Ekin-Su announced to her legions of social media fans that she'd be "taking it global" this year.
A post read in March: "I've got a really exciting announcement to make, within the next few weeks, I will be going abroad. It's a very exciting project and I'll be working with an amazing charity that I am so passionate about. And secondly... I can't even say because I am super excited…
"But I will be taking it global this summer, and I'm going to America to pursue my acting dreams and my acting goals."
Hollywood here we come? Just don't tell her about the WGA strike.
Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
