Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has compared her single life to a Bridget Jones movie as she got candid about her love life in an exclusive chat with MailOnline on Wednesday.

The Love Island winner, 29, said she has had a 'single girl summer' but is fed up of swiping to find a partner on dating apps - amid rumours she is enjoying a romance with tennis ace Grigor Dimitrov.

She also revealed whether she would ever go on Love Island All Stars - which airs again next January.

Ekin-Su won Love Island in 2022 with her then partner Davide Sanclimenti but they broke up for a second time at the start of this year.

The beauty said: 'I'm not sure whether I'd go on the show. It's one I'd have to think about, because I wouldn't want to do the Love Island fans a disservice. Like, how would we top that series? 

'Don't get me wrong, going on the show might be easier than the dating apps. Single life is fun, but also, I mean, it's like endlessly swiping. If I get one more message about sending pictures of my feet – it's gross. 

'I'm single, like Bridget Jones amplified, but I've had a real good single girl summer. It's been a lot of fun. But if the love life carries on how it's going, I mean, perhaps I need some help in the dating department...'

She added: 'But Summer Ekin-Su, I mean, she's been busy, and it's been a Bachelorette Summer! And why not?! I've always gone from one relationship to another, so it's good to be single. 

'I've travelled, I've created some amazing memories, and I feel so free and happy. I mean not every day is a happy day, don't get me wrong, I still struggle, like we all do, but I'm doing something about it. I've got the mojo back.'

In the chat she also opened up about her mental health struggles prior to finding fame on the show. 

She explained: 'I am in a good place. Obviously, we all have good and bad days, and my mental health was something I struggled with long before going on Love Island.

'But I'm grateful that I've always had the help I needed, my mums a psychologist, so I've always grown up understanding the importance of looking after brain AND body.

'I've struggled, but a lot of people do, and I think it's good to just talk openly, to encourage other people to share how they are feeling.'

It comes after MailOnline revealed that she was forced to cancel a series of book signing events over security fears this week.

She was due to sign copies of her new book at Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent on Monday, plus dates in Manchester and Dublin this week, to mark its release.

But the reality star's reps cancelled all dates after the Turkish actress received threats online and her management were unhappy with security in place to cater for proposed meet and greets.

The axing of the book signings comes weeks after Ekin-Su revealed she was a victim of revenge porn after being threatened by a 'stalker' with intimate snaps she had once sent to an ex-boyfriend.

A source told MailOnline: 'Over the past week Ekin-Su has received a number of threats and sinister 'gifts' sent to her property which sparked her team to ensure the appropriate security was put in place for the book signings.

'However these were not met, meaning they decided to pull the events, as the threats are freaking her out.

'She's become extremely unsettled by the threats and if assurances aren't met, her team don't want to take any risks.

'A key concern was secretly surrounding the meet and greet aspect of the signing and it was a non-negotiable to have assurances in place before promoting the meet ups

'Security is a paramount for the team right now, following recent scares.

'Ekin-Su has reached out to some of her fans personally to apologise and plans to reschedule.'

Ekin-Su's new autobiography, Be Your Own Best Friend, was released on Sunday and documents her 'rollercoaster' life and the 'lessons' she's learned along the way.

The actress won the 2022 of Love Island with former partner Davide.

The pair broke up 11 months after winning the ITV2 series but she has managed to carve out a post-show career without him, starring in the US Traitors, the celebrity version, in which she recently received an Emmy nomination alongside the rest of the cast.

MailOnline revealed last month she has enjoyed a string of dates with former World No3 tennis ace Grigor Dimitrov.

She was introduced to the Bulgarian, 33, by mutual friends and the pair have spent time together in London, Paris and Monte Carlo - where Dimitrov is based - after meeting earlier this summer.

He has previously dated Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger and tennis star Maria Sharapova, and was once rumoured to have been in a relationship with seven-times Wimbledon winner Serena Williams.

He has also been linked to US model Emily Ratajkowski.

The couple were spotted by fans in Paris during one of their secret romantic meet-ups.

An onlooker said: 'They were just casually walking together in Paris, taking pictures with fans, and they were so friendly.

'They were getting lots of attention, but it was all a bit surreal, nobody expected to see them together.

'They were just trying to lay low, they weren't trying to attract attention.

'It's a coupling you would never have expected walking the streets of Paris.

'But they were just hanging out, they looked good together, she was smiling and laughing, and they just looked like we were having fun.

'Ekin-Su seemed really relaxed, it was obvious there was chemistry, and you couldn't help but notice them.

'They looked really comfortable in each other's company.'

The star is focussing her immediate attention on projects coming up in America this month and then plans to resume her book tour once she returns.

On the cancellations, a spokesperson for Ekin-Su said: 'Some concerns were raised by Ekin's team regarding the meet and greets. A decision to look at rescheduling the events was made on her behalf'.
