Ekin-Su Culculoglu has revealed she wants to land a role on a soap as she looks ahead to becoming a millionaire.
The Love Island winner, 27, previously worked as an actress in Turkey before she found fame on the ITV dating show.
Speaking to Grazia magazine, Ekin-Su told how she plans on getting back into acting after her stint on Dancing On Ice.

She said: ‘Before that comes to an end, I want to find a good acting agent. Before we went on Love Island, I had an offer for a movie in Turkey.
‘Now I want to get some auditions for a soap. It’s something that I’ve been passionate about out, acting is going to be my next stage.’
Since leaving the villa, Ekin-Su signed the biggest clothing deal in the show’s history with brand Oh Polly, worth over £1million.
However, when asked if she is a millionaire now, the beauty played it coy and said ‘we’ll see’.

She said: ‘Let’s not answer that question. It would be amazing if I was, but we’ll see.’
Ekin-Su also put to bed speculation among fans that she and boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti have got engaged, saying it is ‘too early’.
The pair now live together after Davide moved to London from Manchester.
Ekin-Su has spoken with both Gemma Owen and Luca Bish since they announced they were splitting up.

Describing the breakup as ‘sad’, the star said she wished they hadn’t parted ways so soon after leaving the villa.
Ekin-Su and Davide have been going from strength to strength since leaving the villa and recently filmed their own reality show Homecomings.
The ITV2 series saw the reality star couple visit each other’s family in their native lands while experiencing the culture of their partner’s hometown.
During their trip away, the couple enjoy a Turkish bath and learn family recipes with Ekin-Su’s grandmother as they were driven around in a car by Davide.

Speaking on the experience, Davide said: ‘Well I loved the Turkish bath experience. It is really warm in there and you have a massage after.
‘I felt relaxed after it and I would recommend it to everyone. We also had a lovely romantic dinner in Italy and it reminded us of our last date in the Love Island Villa with the candles and lovely lights.
Ekin-Su said: ‘Yes, I also really loved that date! I would suggest going to the countryside in Italy.

‘I fell in love with Davide’s hometown because I want to live in the countryside one day, it would be so relaxing. I would love to grow my own fruit and vegetables. I would have my own wine bar as well.’
Ekin-Su and Davide look as loved-up as they did in the villa as they head to Verona, Italy, where they visited Juliette’s balcony from the tragic Shakespeare play.
They also go on a candlelit date during one episode, which they admitted reminded them of their final date in the Love Island villa.
Hold on tight! As well as driving them around Italy in a Fiat 500, Davide also took Ekin-Su on a moped ride through the countryside in one teaser snap
