Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu is inspiring women to be ballsy just like her.
The 28-year-old is a TV sensation thanks to her feisty persona.
Fans love how she goes for what she wants and says what she thinks, now girls across the country are trying to be just like her.
Ekin-Su told the Daily Star Sunday: “In life, you should be your own best friend and always stick up for yourself. You have to be strong and not care what people think.

“I’m realising a lot of girls want to be like me. I get them coming up to me and saying, ‘I’ve been through a bad relationship and my confidence has gone’.

“They ask me how I’m so confident. And I tell them, ‘It’s because I don’t care and I always stick up for myself’.
“My Instagram is full of long messages from fans asking me for advice. They tell me about relationships or losing a family member and ask what they should do. They say, ‘How can I be more like you’ and ‘How can I stick up for myself?’”
Ekin-Su is flattered that she has become an agony aunt for girls across the country. And she’s determined to help as many as she can.

She said: “It’s a nice feeling knowing I’m a role model for them all. I don’t have any ego, so if I can do something to help someone, I will do it.
“I always try to make time for fans. It’s not horrible or daunting to have that responsibility, it’s actually nice to be able to help.”
Ekin-Su’s popularity has helped her land a string of plum jobs since Love Island – and she is tipped to make £1million within months.

In recent weeks she’s signed up to be the new face of fashion brand Oh Polly, landed a reality show with boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti, 27, and got a spot on Dancing On Ice.
She said: “It still can’t believe it’s all happening. It’s just overwhelming and it feels like a dream.
“The fame will never get to me. I’m always going to be myself and humble. I’m never going to get an ego. I’m going to keep being me and if the fame comes and goes, that’s life. I’m not in it for the fame.”
