Love Island's Davide and Ekin-Su announce new career move as they return to TV

Love Island winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti have confirmed plans to release a new road trip show on ITV.

The couple met after they both arrived as bombshells on the show, and went on to win by an overwhelming majority. The pair are now set to present their own spin-off show where they will go on road trips to their home countries.

While on Channel 4's The Big Breakfast Show earlier today, the couple revealed the upcoming project with ITV2 which will see them travel across Italy and Turkey to meet each other's families and explore the two cultures. The Turkish actress from Essex and the Italian business owner, both 27, managed to win over Love Island viewers with their fiery relationship that went through its twists and turns during the eight-week series.

Announcing the news, Davide told The Big Breakfast show: “We are going to road trip to Italy and Turkey. So one week in Italy, one week in Turkey and we’re going to be on ITV2 so it’s going to be like our own programme.”

Ekin-Su added that viewers will also get to see them cook for each other as well as argue passionately, which became their hallmark during the ITV dating series. An ITV spokesperson confirmed the news but no further details have been unveiled.

Following the finale of Love Island, ITV revealed they had been the clear winners of the public vote with 63.7%. Gemma Owen and Luca Bish came in second place with 14.5%, Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope took third place with 11.8%, and Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page came fourth, scoring 10.1%.
