Ekin-Su Culculoglu's appearance in the villa reportedly isn't her first brush with fame as she is believed to have enjoyed a brief romance with TOWIE star James Lock.
The Love Island bombshell, 27, is said to have had a 'passionate' relationship with the reality personality, 35, last October before he was linked to Megan Barton Hanson.
The Turkish actress reportedly met James through mutual pals and enjoyed a relationship for a short time before things 'fizzled out'.

A source told the Sun: 'They met through friends and dated for a short time last year. It was a very passionate fling while it lasted but fizzled out. That was when James moved on to Megan.'
James and Megan had an on/off relationship which ended following an explosive row at a London hotel following a night out together.
MailOnline have reached out to representatives for comment.

Ekin-Su, who recently ended her short-lived romance with 'Italian snack' Davide Sanclimenti, has so far not mentioned her link to the reality personality.
The Islander has been at the centre of villa drama this week as she repeatedly snuck off for secret kisses with Jay Younger on the terrace.
On Friday Love Island viewers couldn't believe their ears as Ekin-Su told Jay she 'doesn't like liars' after repeatedly deceiving Davide over her blossoming new relationship.

After their secret rendezvous was discovered during an explosive episode of the ITV2 dating show on Friday, Ekin-Su tried her best to save face.
However fans of the programme were furious after the Turkish native boldly claimed she has no time for deception, after sneaking off with Jay behind Davide's back.
It seems the other Islanders in the villa were also sick of Ekin-Su's antics, as Amber could be seen rolling her eyes while she attempted to defend herself.
