Ekin-Su: ‘Don't Let Other People's Opinions Define You’ | GREAT MOMENTS
5/17/202613 min
When you're going through a tough time, it can feel like there's no way out. But it's often in those moments that we find the strength we didn't know we had.
Ekin-Su knows that feeling all too well. Since winning Love Island in 2022, she's gone on to become the Queen of Reality TV, from Love Island All Stars to Celebrity Big Brother and now Vanderpump Villa.
But behind her confidence is a young girl who lacked self-belief, was severely bullied at school, and developed disordered eating in an attempt to change herself to fit in.
In this Great Moment, Ekin-Su opens up about meeting her bully later in life, and the powerful process of unlearning the idea that other people's opinions get to define you. She shares why the things that once held her down ultimately made her the woman she is today.
