Love Island's Davide and Ekin-Su land new TV show and fans are buzzing

Fans of Love Island winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti will be delighted to know that the pair have confirmed they have landed their own TV show just days after leaving the villa. The couple were announced as the Love Island 2022 winners last Monday and scooped the £50,000 prize money as a result.

It's predicted that both will become millionaires within months, and they've made a good start with another big pay day - with a six-figure cheque reportedly on its way. And it is claimed Ekin-Su has already hit the million mark, after the stunning Turkish actress penned the biggest Love Island fashion deal ever with lingerie brand Oh Polly, writes The Mirror.

And now, the couple are launching their own TV show, so we'll be seeing plenty more of their lives after the villa. The lovebirds are set to spend even more time side by side and will travel around Europe and cook for each other.

Announcing the news on Channel 4 ’s Big Breakfast with AJ Odudu and Mo Gilligan, Davide declared: "Yes I can tell you this. "We are going on a road trip to Italy and Turkey, for one week in Italy and one week in Turkey. We are going to be on ITV2 and it’s going to be like our own programme."

Ekin-Su said fans are going to see the couple up close - and tensions could well rise as she admitted she is already on his case. "It’ll be all real fighting, he’ll be cooking for me, I’ll be cooking for him," she told the hosts. It’ll be two cultures, meeting families. I have already been shouting at Davide everyday!"

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 per cent. Gemma Owen and Luca Bish came in second place with 14.5 per cent, Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope took third place with 11.8 per cent, and Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page came fourth, scoring 10.1 per cent.

Ekin-Su has also seen the most success out of all the Islanders, boasting the biggest social media following with more than 2.6 million Instagram followers.

The in-demand beauty celebrated the bumper Oh Polly contract at swanky rooftop bar in London after securing the seven-figure deal. A source told The Sun that she could become the show's most wanted winner ever.

“After speaking with all of the major fashion brands, Ekin-Su wanted to work with a brand that aligned to her own values of sustainability and therefore decided against signing to a fast fashion brand. She is the most in demand star EVER.”

It has also been claimed that Islander Gemma Owen has been offered nearly £1 million to sign up with Pretty Little Thing.

Davide and Ekin-Su, who secured 63.7 per cent of the public vote to win the ITV2 dating show, have been in high demand since leaving the villa. They spent a few days in the Italian's adopted home of Manchester before travelling to the Turkish soap star's hometown of London on Thursday.
