The reality star said she found it incredibly difficult at one stage in Casa Amor. During an interview with Christine Lampard, Ekin-Su confirmed medics were called in to help her.

Ekin-Su explained that she was overcome with worry about her now boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti finding someone else during Casa Amor.

She told Christine Lampard, "In Casa Amor there was a moment obviously where, I don’t know if I [can] say this, when medics came where I was having a mini panic attack because I was thinking, ‘Oh no, what’s Davide doing in Casa Amor? Is he with someone else?"

“And the medics were like, ‘Ekin it’s fine, just relax, what’s meant to be is going to be’. It all worked.”

Ekin-Su also spoke out about her mental health and how the show affected it during a Q&A on her Instagram.

The actress said, "I was loving life in the villa. Just growing as a person.
