Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has revealed that none of this year’s Love Island contestants had sex on the show as she admitted the cameras were “everywhere”.
Though islanders are often known for their racy behavior, the 28-year-old attributed the lack of intimacy to the villa’s layout – explaining that each bed is inches apart.
The Turkish star, who won the show with boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti, also praised ITV2’s support during the show, calling it “extreme care” as she recalled the vigilant process.

In a new interview with The Guardian, Ekin-Su confirmed that no one has gotten hot under the covers this year, citing the mansion’s tight-knit layout.
“It’s a new villa. There is so much space [she indicates about 10 inches] between the beds. Who would have sex when there were cameras everywhere?” she explained.
Revealing that she and Beau Davide waited even longer after they left, the star added: “Even when I left the villa with Davide we couldn’t really relax. The time was not right.’

Love Island has been targeted several times in the past for its duty of care and has been criticized for not taking enough mental health action.
And fans were quick to raise eyebrows again this year, accusing contestants Luca Bish and Dami Hope of “bullying” Tasha Ghouri when they asked why the producers didn’t step in.
But on the contrary, Ekin-Su described the extremely vigilant duty of care placed on the contestants, stating that they were “cared for like babies.”
“If I cut my finger, a medical team would be there in two minutes. With a plaster and a paracetamol. It is ridiculous. I think it’s extreme diligence,” she shared.

But since leaving the mansion, the star explains that she’s realized that “natural beauty is better” and just last week dyed her hair back to its natural chocolate shade.
Sharing that she was also planning to dissolve her lip fillers, Ekin-Su continued, “I think natural beauty is much more beautiful.
“I haven’t done anything bigger to myself, right? OK, apart from the boobs.’
