Ekin-Su has a trick when it comes to sweets. "I have a habit, I bite the cookie and put it back," she told Gemma Owen on Love Island. "I bite it and put it back but I own up to it.

2. She Works Out for Her Mental Health

'‘If I don’t get the workout [done] my mental health will go; mental health is why I work out - and to look good,” Ekin-Su tells Women’s Health. “It’s almost like a drug! After I do cardio I feel like I can rule the world…even if it’s 3am I have to fit [exercise] in because otherwise, the next day, I will feel like crap.”

3. Exercise Works Into Her Relationship

Ekin-Su maintains that exercise and her relationship with Davide Saclimenti go hand in hand. “When I’m working, I have to make sure there’s a gym nearby. And me and Davide, if we don’t train for a week we go crazy…we’ll probably have an argument,” she tells Women’s Health. “If we need alone time he trains and I train separately [and then] we’re fine after. Like, after an argument, you have to train.”

4. She “Feeds Herself” with Protein, Greens, and Water

“I think you are what you eat, and you are what you put in your mind. I want to feed myself with protein. I want to feed myself with green leafy vegetables and drink plenty of water. When you eat well, you feel well...but I also want to have my chocolate,” she tells Women’s Health. However, she doesn’t restrict herself. “Carbs are fine! Chocolate is fine! Having a drink is fine. It's all about moderation.”

5. She Loves Herself at Every Size

Ekin-Su loves herself no matter how much she weighs. “I used to be a size 16 at school and I’ve been a size six and I’ve remained confident [at every size],” she tells Women’s Health. “It’s almost like the confidence was inside me - whether I was bigger or skinnier…it’s something to do with the way you accept who you are.”

Gemma Atkinson Starts 2025 Health Regimen Early

Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson is encouraging fans and followers not to wait until the New Year to take care of their health and wellness. Atkinson, 40, shared a video of herself black two-piece workout gear, doing an exercise circuit with weights. “I always like to start up again before the new year. Why delay making changes when it comes to our health. If you can start now, do it. Is it gonna be one day or day 1? The choice is yours. I think as well when it comes to New Year we should try changing the word resolutions to standards. Setting standards for ourselves will be more beneficial. It even sounds more important. My standard is to move daily, even a brisk walk. My standards are to prioritise 8 mins before bed to stretching. My standards are to fuel myself with good nutrition whilst still occasionally enjoying foods I love. My standards are to see the girls once a month for a good catchup and lots of laughs,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the British star stays fit, healthy, and strong year-round.
