Since then Ekin-Su has starred in Celebrity Big Brother and even returned to the villa for All Stars earlier this year.
Now she's told fans they will see her in the jungle one day.
During an Instagram Q&A, Ekin-Su was asked: "You're one of the most inspiring people to me, will you ever go on I'm a Celeb?"
She replied: "Aww I am glad I make a difference in your life angel. Yes I would, at the right time."
The Sun recently revealed Ekin-Su, who is one of the famous faces taking part in the current series of Cooking With The Stars, recently splashed the cash on a £900k four-bedroom mansion in Essex, near to her parents.
Ekin was close to investing in Surrey, and even looked around some properties with ex Curtis Pritchard, but did a last minute U-turn to stay more local to her family.
A source said: 'Ekin's worked really hard since winning Love Island with ad campaigns and a steady stream of telly.
'She has snapped up this home in cash and chose somewhere more modest so she could be closer to her parents, who she spends a lot of time with.
'She's looking forward to getting stuck in and fixing it up to her perfect style. She's really proud of everything she's achieved and ready to lay down roots.'
Ekin-Su and Curtis, 29, got together on All Stars this year but split just months later.

She recently shared her thoughts on dating after becoming single - and didn't hold back.
In a TikTok video, she sat down to address her grievances with men's attitudes toward dating.
She said: "It is absolutely frustrating me, it is infuriating me, it is making my blood boil.
"I am hearing stories all the time from friends, I don't even know, people I do know, people on the street, random conversations that dating is really hard.
"I'm hearing that they're getting ghosted, I'm hearing that guy is seeing multiple women or doesn't know what he wants, and I'm just like - wow, what is going on?
"I would say let's go back 10 years ago. I don't think it was this bad.
"I don't know what's going on with relationships, I don't know what's going on with people's intentions, but people seem to be getting bored very easily."

OnlyFans tennis star claps back at haters with another raunchy post after US Open match got cancelled
American tennis player and OnlyFans star Sachia Vickery has clapped back at haters with a raunchy post on her Instagram. The 30-year-old, currently ranked No. 559 in the world, has faced backlash from fans after revealing she had joined adult content site OnlyFans earlier this year. For $12.99 a month, subscribers have access to 'the content too spicy for Instagram,' according to Vickery's OnlyFans bio. She also charges men $1,000 to date her. Vickery has since faced harsh criticism from traditional tennis fans, who have brutally torn into her over the decision, but now the American has hit back. Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Vickery shared a video of herself in a bikini with the caption: 'Imagine hating me and I'm in my room like this everyday'. The following post on her Instagram story appeared to promote her OnlyFans page. The American, ranked No. 559, played her first match since February on Tuesday when she beat Anastasiya Soboleva in the first round of US Open qualifying. However, Vickery has discovered more lucrative means of keeping herself busy over the past few months - and they don't require her to swing a racket. Her OnlyFans platform teases her 'longest shower vid yet,' strip teases and 'spicier' pictures, while also asking her fans to rate her 'riding skills' as she shares risque videos and saucy snaps. Vickery has banked just over $2million throughout her 14-year career on the court. Outside of the sport, she demands a $1,000 deposit fee just to date her. 'I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick,' she told her 39,4000 followers during an Instagram Q&A session earlier this week. While Vickery's move may have sent ripples through the tennis world, she has no regrets. She previously revealed that she's always seen herself as something of a revolutionary. 'I've always pushed boundaries,' she said on the Black Spin Global podcast earlier this year. 'I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. 'I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media.' 'Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap,' she added. 'I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. 'Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it.' Yet as she stepped onto the Grand Slam stage in Flushing Meadows again this week, Vickery once again hit back at her critics. 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it,' said Vickery when asked about balancing the two entirely different worlds together in an Instagram Q&A session. 'I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.' Vickery, whose father Rawle is a former soccer player and brother Dominque Mitchell played football at South Carolina State, turned professional in 2011 after training with USTA and Mouratoglou Academy in France. But her career peaked back in 2018, when she managed a career-high ranking of World No 73. Now, the Florida native has slumped to No 559, without a single victory to her name. She failed to qualify for the Australian Open in January, stumbling in the third round of qualifying, and skipped Roland Garros and Wimbledon all together. However, she appears to save her best performances for the US Open with her best Grand Slam record coming in New York. She's made the second round of the tournament four times. Vickery is far from the first tennis player to have flirted with an alternate career on the x-rated website to fund their tennis ambitions. The sport's renowned babd boy, Nick Kyrgios, raised eyebrows earlier this year when he signed onto a saucy OnlyFans collaboration after his breakup from longtime girlfriend Costeen Hatzi. Kyrgios, who publicly split from his girlfriend of four years in March, hosted a new reality series for OnlyFans TV alongside adult entertainers Sophie Stonehouse and Rachel Starr in June. Titled Smash City, the series saw OnlyFans creators, including Vickery, battle it out on the pickle ball court to win $20,000. Kyrgios first joined OnlyFans in 2023, revealing in a statement that he wanted fans to see 'all different sides' of him after an injury saw him sidelined from his sport.

Love Island star Helena Ford appears to take a swipe at rivals as show feud explodes
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's Helena Ford may have sent a subtle dig at her fellow reality TV stars just weeks after leaving the Spanish villa. Helena was in a relationship with Harry Cooksley for much of this year's Love Island series, until he decided to recouple with Shakira Khan and would go on to be runners-up.

But it was in the voiceover to which Helena mimed to, that she may have taken a swipe at her fellow contestants, Shakira, Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet. The audio was a clip from an interview with actress Ariana Greenblatt, who played the 'mean girl' daughter in the Barbie movie. Ariana says: "Whatever, we all know blondes have more fun, because their bleach is in their hair, let's talk about it." Helena's use of the audio could be seen as a dig to Shakira, Toni and Yasmin, who were often billed as the being given the 'mean girls' edit during this series of Love Island. Her TikTok also coincided with the release of an i-D Magazine feature interview with the three Islanders where they talked about feeling grateful they could represent brunettes and in Shakira's case, the South Asian community. "What have I signed up for?" Shakira said in the i-D interview. 'Everyone's gonna love the blonde hair, blue-eyed girls, we see year in year out on Love Island. I thought, based on initial attraction, it wasn't going to go well for me, but I was pleasantly surprised.' Shakira, Toni and Yasmin also addressed the ongoing feuds and rivalries in the villa describing at "classic High School behaviour". 'We felt that massively in the changing room, the snickers, the whispers, the dirty look," Shakira said. "When you come around the corner and they stop talking, you feel isolated, it feels frosty, really tense, and it's not nice. "It wasn't a bad edit; we tried to fix it, but that was our experience, we lived it.' Despite having a rocky relationship with some of their co-stars, the trio stuck together and gracefully took on every obstacle thrown at them. Toni won the series alongside Cach and scooped a prize of £50k, while Shakira and Harry and Yas and Jamie are also going strong. Despite each bagging themselves a new fella, they have proudly said that the real prize is the friendships they made.
