Love Island fans demand Ekin-Su lands huge new presenting gig – and it’s not replacing Laura Whitmore
LOVE Island fans are demanding for Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu to land a HUGE new presenting gig – and it’s not replacing Laura Whitmore.
Viewers of the ITV2 dating show are desperate for the Turkish soap actress to host another show, due to be broadcast on the channel.
Love Island fans crowned Ekin-Su, 27, and her partner Davide Sanclimenti the winners of the eighth series last night.
Now, viewers are already keen to have her back on screens, and have demanded she hosts the new series of Big Brother.
The infamous reality TV show is set to return in 2023 on ITV2 – after it was last broadcast on Channel 5 back in 2018.
ITV2 are yet to announce who they hope will host the show, despite fans of the series suggesting that it could be Rylan Clark.

Now, Love Island fans have put forward Ekin-Su, who took home £50,000 alongside Davide, 27, after last night’s final.
Taking to Twitter, one fan kickstarted the debate: “Someone said Ekin-Su should be hosting Big Brother and I agree.”
“Ekin-Su to host Big Brother, IT MAKES SENSE,” a second said, as a third wrote: “Was never really a huge Big Brother fan, but please don’t let it be Whitmore, give the job to Ekin-Su.”
A fourth concluded: “Get Ekin-Su to host the new Big Brother.”
Last month, it was finally announced that Big Brother was due to return to screens in 2023, much to the delight of fans.
Rylan Clark had been pipped by fans to be top of the list to become host of the new series, which has been recommissioned by ITV2.
It was originally broadcast on Channel 4 from 2000 to 2010, before moving to Channel 5 until 2018 when it was tragically axed.
Rylan, who was a contestant on the celebrity spin-off of the show, went on to present after he won in 2013.
