ITV Love Island winners Davide and Ekin-Su reveal they've bagged their own TV show together as he almost lets slip huge news

Fans are 'obsessed' as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti shared their journey after emerging triumphant from the Love Island villa almost two weeks ago. The show winners have been making radio and TV appearances while meeting adoring fans and now they have revealed some exciting news while teasing another big announcement.

Last week Ekin-Su, from Essex, travelled up to Davide's home city Manchester to spend time with her man. And yesterday (Friday August 12) they posed for a glam snap together in the capital with Davide saying proudly on Instagram: "A lovely day in London with my woman."

On Ekin-Su's Instagram Stories she delighted fans by giving more of an insight into their time together, posting a vide clip of the couple food shopping together while a grinning Davide danced in the aisles as he picked up some meat from the deli counter. And later the pair were at a wedding surrounded by cheering guests. "Invited to an Indian wedding why not?" asked Ekin-Su.

The couple, both 27, will be filmed by ITV2 cameras as they go on road trips across their native countries Italy and Turkey. Soap actress Ekin-Su told hosts new hosts Aj Odudu and Mo Gilligan that the pair would be showing off the cooking skills that they put to use in the kitchen on Love Island and said the new programme will be a 'blend of two cultures.'

"I'll be cooking for him, he'll be cooking for me. It'll be two cultures, meeting families," said Ekin-Su. But moments earlier Davide almost let slip another big announcement as they were asked if they were going to be moving in together.

Ekin-Su cut in: "We can't answer that question yet" and added: "We may, we may not." But presenter Mo laughed: "Davide''s like yes." Davide then said: "Ah yes I can tell this. We are going to do a road trip to Italy and Turkey on ITV so it's going to be our own programme."

And it seems keeping so busy after the Love Island finale has taken its toll as AJ pointed out that Ekin-Su sounded hoarse. "Have you been doing a bit of shouting? Your voice?" she asked. The star replied: "It's just worn out." And she told the hosts that the couple have had no arguments since winning the ITV2 reality contest.

After a rocky start on the eighth series 'Italian snack' Davide and 'Turkish delight' Ekin-Su found love together. At the start of their journey Ekin-Su was famously branded a 'liar' and an 'actress' by a fuming Davide after she was exposed for sneaking off to the terrace to kiss newcomer Jay Younger. But they got back on track after a romantic soul-baring date at a vineyard.
