It comes after MailOnline revealed the Turkish soap star has signed the biggest clothing deal in the show’s history with brand Oh Polly. 

She was ‘inundated with offers’ by multiple retailers following her landslide win with boyfriend Davide but wanted to ‘follow her heart’ in signing with a company that believes in her.

A source said the ITV2 champion, who won the £50,000 cash prize after garnering 63.7 per cent of the public vote, is ‘ecstatic’ and having ‘the week of her dreams.’

An insider close to Ekin-Su revealed: ‘Ekin has met with countless brands this week, but she knew that Oh Polly was the perfect fit for her, and the feeling was mutual.

‘She’s signed an enormous deal worth over a million and now she can’t wait to start collaborating with the brand and working on her first ever collection.

‘Prior to Love Island, Ekin dreamed of one day making a name for herself, she will never forget this feeling of being in demand and admired by her legions of fans.’

Ekin left the Love Island villa not only as the show’s winner but with the biggest following, as 2.6million viewers hurried to back the former Turkish soap star.

Despite a few setbacks, including Ekin crawling along the terrace floor to keep her kissing former Islander Jay Younger secret, the pair ended up saying te amo, love you in Italian, by the end of the series. 

Sources have revealed to MailOnline that Davide has also been meeting multiple brands this week, as the couple are predicted to become one of the most successful winners in Love Island history.
