The reality star paid cash for the house just months after splitting from her ex-boyfriend Curtis Pritchard
SINCE winning Love Island three years ago, EKIN-SU CULCULOGU has remained one of the most successful contestants to date.
Now I can reveal that the beauty, currently starring on ITV’s Cooking With The Stars, has snapped up a £900k four-bedroom mansion in Essex, near to her parents.

Ekin-Su split with Curtis Pritchard earlier this year
Ekin was close to investing in Surrey, and even looked around some properties with ex CURTIS PRITCHARD, but did a last minute U-turn to stay more local to her family.
A source said: “Ekin’s worked really hard since winning Love Island with ad campaigns and a steady stream of telly.
“She has snapped up this home in cash and chose somewhere more modest so she could be closer to her parents, who she spends a lot of time with.
“She’s looking forward to getting stuck in and fixing it up to her perfect style. She’s really proud of everything she’s achieved and ready to lay down roots.”
Since appearing on Love Island: All Stars in January, Ekin has split with Curtis, but has been focused on her career and working non-stop, with a focus on acting.
She better not get too comfortable in the UK as Hollywood beckons…
The reality star recently went on a rant about dating after splitting from Curtis.
Ekin-Su told followers that her "blood was boiling" and that she is struggling with the standard of dating in 2025.
In a TikTok video, she sat down to address her grievances with men's attitudes toward dating.
She said: "It is absolutely frustrating me, it is infuriating me, it is making my blood boil.
"I am hearing stories all the time from friends, I don't even know, people I do know, people on the street, random conversations that dating is really hard.
"I'm hearing that they're getting ghosted, I'm hearing that guy is seeing multiple women or doesn't know what he wants, and I'm just like - wow, what is going on?
"I would say let's go back 10 years ago. I don't think it was this bad.
"I don't know what's going on with relationships, I don't know what's going on with people's intentions, but people seem to be getting bored very easily."
