Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu looked completely different before beginning her ascent to reality TV stardom on Love Island.
The former Turkish soap star, 29, who was recently evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house, underwent several cosmetic procedures before entering the villa.
Her surgeon Dr Rosh previously revealed on Instagram she had cheek filler, tear trough filler, and jaw definition work, while Ekin-Su herself has spoken about having veneers, a boob job and lip filler.
Pictures of The Traitors US star from her student days at the University of Central Lancashire and competing in a Miss Ireland beauty pageant in 2012 have recently resurfaced on social media.
Ekin-Su, who looks gorgeous both then and now, looks completely unrecognisable.
In 2022, the reality TV star vowed to ditch lip fillers and said she wanted to embrace the ‘natural look.’
‘Whatever lip filler I have, I’m going to dissolve. I didn’t like the fake look. I think natural beauty is a lot prettier. I’ve not had anything major done to myself, right? OK, apart from the boobs,’ she told The Guardian.
Ekin-Su also addressed whether the taboo no longer exists around plastic surgery, saying that ‘people now realise you can’t lie’ about procedures.
‘Nobody’s stupid, it just makes you look fake if you say, “I haven’t had anything done,” when you clearly have,’ she added.
Speaking about the cosmetic work he had performed on Ekin-Su, Dr Rosh said in 2022: ‘We decided to add subtle changes but still keeping everything looking very natural. First, we added tear trough filler to fill the hollows and give her that gorgeous “8 hour beauty sleep” refreshed look.
‘Then, I feathered in some filler into the lateral cheeks to soften her middle cheek fullness and jaw filler to lift and create more definition.’
Most recently, Ekin-Su has been on Celebrity Big Brother, alongside the likes of former X Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.
However, comments she made on the programme sparked immense backlash, including being s outraged at the thought of being an OnlyFans model and claimed to not post any bikini pictures, which fans were quick to expose her on.
Ekin-Su also shut down any conversations about Love Island – despite mentioning the reality programme where she found fame multiple times herself.
‘I’m just hurt that I wasn’t portrayed as myself on the show,’ she later said on Celebrity Big Brother’s Late and Live.
