Love Islander reveals All Stars girl is ‘putting on theatrics for the cameras’ after explosive villa row

AN ex All Stars contestant has opened up about his former co-star Ekin-Su Culculoglu, claiming the Love Island legend is "putting on theatrics" for the cameras.

But Ron Hall, who recently quit the hit ITV show, took to Snapchat to defend Ekin-Su's actions.

Watching the show last night, he said: "Ekin is very, very misunderstood. She knows how to switch it on for the camera - it's her job."

Ron explained that despite the dramatic moments and fiery arguments that have made Ekin-Su a fan favourite for stirring up drama, she's actually a "lovely person" at heart.

He said: "Sometimes she can be a fruitcake but she is so lovely and means well.

"I remember the conversations we had in there she is so so sweet. I really like her.

"I know people think she is psycho and drama. But she is lovely and she knows her job is to put the theatrics on for the camera."

Ron’s blunt assessment comes after a heated series of events that have rocked the villa, leaving fans divided over whether Ekin-Su’s antics are genuine or just for show.

Earlier on in the series Ekin-Su chucked a drink over her own partner Curtis when he appeared to fancy bombshell Danielle Sellers.

Ekin-Su was also accused of meddling in other couples' relationships in the All Stars villa.

And some say she has been winding up her fellow Islanders including Elma, by kissing Elma's partner Sammy in the Heart Rate Challenge.

During the heart rate challenge Elma was left fuming when Ekin kissed Sammy, who she is coupled up with.

Later - when the Islanders played Snog, Marry, Pie - Ekin was pied by Sammy for the kiss.

When he later went to apologise for his actions, Elma was once again furious and told him he shouldn't have.

Ekin ended up sobbing to Curtis who then had it out with Elma.

It ended with fans convinced Ekin-Su and Elma are emroiled in a secret feud.

It comes as The Sun revealed the All Stars final is just days away.
