Former Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has revealed she auditioned for a role in the hit HBO series The White Lotus but lost out to Aimee Lou Wood. The 31-year-old reality star, who won the ITV2 show in 2022, said she tried out for the part of Chelsea in the show's third season.
In an Instagram Q&A, Ekin-Su admitted the audition was not her strongest. 'It wasn't my strongest work or even the right time, so it didn't go through for a reason,' she said. The role eventually went to Aimee Lou Wood, who played Chelsea in the series.
Despite the setback, Ekin-Su remains determined to pursue acting. 'I'm stepping back into acting and focusing more on passion projects,' she said. 'Acting has always been the bigger picture for me and something I was doing in Turkey before Love Island.'
The reality star also hinted at a new project she cannot yet reveal. 'It's different to anything I've done, that's all I can hint!' she said. Ekin-Su also confirmed she is single and open to dating, following her split from Curtis Pritchard in May.
