Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu reveals she 'couldn't poo for 2 weeks' while filming “Love Island”
"RHOC's" Tamra Judge, who joined Cülcüloğlu on "Watch What Happens Live," also revealed she poops "7 times a day."
In the words of The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Phaedra Parks, "Lord sweet baby Jesus not Ekin-Su, not Ekin."
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, the ascendant British reality star of series like The Traitors and Celebrity Big Brother, recently shared a dose of ice-cold reality as to what it's like behind the scenes of the series that made her famous, Love Island.
"There's cameras 24/7, there's a camera in the toilet, so I couldn't poo for two weeks" she told Andy Cohen on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live.
Cohen and Cülcüloğlu's Traitors costar Tamra Judge reacted with shock. "How could you stop it!" Judge shouted. "You're supposed to be sexy and in swimsuits, but you're not pooping?" Cohen asked. "This is why we're all bloated and ask for laxatives," Cülcüloğlu explained.
Cülcüloğlu's poo problems so overwhelmed the Clubhouse that she didn't get to answer the "best" part of Cohen's original question: "the best and worst part of being stuck on Love Island that people don't realize while watching the show."
Before Cülcüloğlu could even finish explaining how the cast work around the less-than-ideal bathroom setup on the British reality show, Judge jumped in with some scatological sorrows of her own. It happens to "some people when they travel," Judge began to explain, before confessing, "I poop seven times a day."

Again, Cohen couldn't believe it. "You poop seven times a day? You're kidding..." he said.
"No, I have intestinal issues. I have diverticulitis," Judge explained. Diverticulitis is a digestive condition in which small pouches in the colon can become inflamed or infected; sudden changes in bowel movement patterns are a common symptom. Judge was hospitalized for an intestinal obstruction in 2023, saying at the time that she'd "suffered from intestinal problems for years," issues that have led to "multiple surgeries."

While that wrapped up the explicit discussion of matters of the digestive tract, Judge did manage to squeeze in one more poop reference when responding to a recent accusation by her former Real Housewives of Orange County costar Vicki Gunvalson that Judge shed "fake tears" over a fight with her daughter. She referred to Gunvalson's comments as "the lowest form of human dogs--- I've ever seen."
