Ekin-Su Culculoglu blasted by ITV Big Brother co-star over Love Island return as they issue scathing verdict
Love Island star Ekin-Su Culculoglu has been blasted by former Big Brother co-star Zeze Millz for her return to the ITV reality show – despite playing down her previous experience.
Love Island: All Stars returned on Monday night and saw some OG cast members return to the villa on a new mission to find love.
Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville came face to face for the first time in six years after their public split – where the Blazin Squad singer cheated on Allen during their holiday.
Season two star Scott Thomas walked back into the villa for the first time in 10 years and explained he is hopeful to show those at home and the villa girls how much he has changed since his first stint.
Luca Bish, Olivia Hawkins, Ronnie Vint, Kaz Crossley, Curtis Pritchard, Catherine Agbaje, Elma Pazar, Nas Majeed and India Reynolds also signed up for their second chance at love on the popular ITV series.
However, in true Love Island style, host Maya Jama revealed the highly anticipated twist – which came in the form of bombshell Culculoglu.
Her arrival into the villa sparked a commotion with fans and also seemed to reignite her feud with Millz after their tense encounter during their time together on Big Brother.
During their stint on the reality show, Millz openly branded Love Island a “free holiday” to which Culculoglu replied: “Yeah, well it wasn’t really for me.
“It’s a reality show filmed 24/7 honey, you only see 40 minutes of it.” Millz promptly replied: “That’s what I said, maybe we don’t see all of it,” leaving Culculoglu to snap back: “That’s why it’s not a holiday.”
The rest of their time together in the house proved to be tense, with the pair not getting along and barely speaking to one another.
Ekin Su was ready to finish me when I asked her about #loveisland on Celebrity Big Brother 😅🫠 .

Now, a year on, it seems Millz is still caught up in the feud as she recently took to her X account to slam Culculoglu for going back on the show after their argument.
In three separate tweets, she penned: “She spent the whole #CBB talking about being above #loveisland. Ekin Suuuu! She loves it. Injecttttt the drama.
“Ekin Su was ready to finish me when I asked her about #loveisland on Celebrity Big Brother.
“Ekin Su was chatting out her neck about me for 2+ weeks – but you want me to be the bigger person. Be for real please #LoveIslandAllStars.”
However, her issue with Culculoglu’s arrival sparked backlash amongst viewers as one fan replied: “Zeze…not going to lie this is seeming bitter. Be the better person and stop posting about the situation, regardless if Ekin Su wasn’t very nice to you. I see where you’re coming from but once again it seems bitter and petty.”
A second added: “Bringing this up after all of this time just seems bitter and a chance to bring some relevancy to your name by talking about others… People change, circumstances change. I fear it’s time to get over it and focus on yourself.”

“How she felt on CBB was valid as she felt upset because of her split from Davide, but she’s obviously over it and doing better, so why can’t you get over it as well???” a third said.
“I hear it but this is your 3rd tweet in a row,” another user noted before Millz replied: “And if I want I’ll do another 5. But since you’re so good at counting – I did 3 about Marcel situation also? So, what’s your point? Let’s stop… I’m commenting on Love Island like I do every season.”
Not all the replies were aimed at Millz being “bitter”, however, as one supporter agreed: “Omg as I was watching I said the same thing! She was getting annoyed with you only for her to go back on the show!”
Someone else penned: ”Zeze your annoyance is valid. The reply tweets are just irritated because she’s their fave. Facts are facts. Ekin looks ridiculous going back on the show and like she has no standards just mad desire to stay relevant and it’s affecting her credibility.” (sic)
