Robbie is no stranger to the show, having previously declared her love of the British reality series – even having a Love Island theme for her 31st birthday.
Speaking to BBC Newsbeat after meeting the Barbie star, Ekin-Su admitted she had "really, really, really" hoped to cross paths with Robbie.
"I know there was a TikTok that went viral on about how she really really liked me from Love Island and how she was basically saying I came across as a boss babe," she said. "And at the time when I came out the villa, I was shocked that she actually said my name.
