Ekin-Su and Davide series officially announced by ITV2 following Love Island win

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti will shortly be back on our screens as ITV2 has announced a spin-off series. The new show will follow the Love Island 2022 winners as they travel together to Davide's beloved Italy and Ekin-Su's hometown in Turkey.

The couple, who won the popular dating show this summer, will meet one another's family and friends, from parents to siblings and grandparents in the new series. The two-part programme, which is called Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings, will see the duo pack their suitcases again for two new adventures.

Davide will return to his hometown Frosinone for the first time since leaving the Love Island villa with Ekin-Su by his side. He will also give Ekin-Su a taste of Italy as the pair embark on a whistle-stop tour of the Italian city of love, Verona, made famous by lovers Romeo and Juliet.

The couple will then travel through the Tuscan valley and eventually jet off to Turkey, where they will visit Istanbul. Ekin-Su will introduce Davide to the acting colleagues she met while living and working as an actress in Turkey.

Ekin-Su and Davide will also venture on an eight-hour road trip in a campervan to Ekin-Su's family village of Odemis. As they spend a night sleeping in their motorhome, cue the drama of living in confined spaces.

Creative Director at Lifted Entertainment, Mike Spencer, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Davide and Ekin-Su on this really exciting new ITV2 show. Ekin-Su and Davide both stole the nation's hearts on this series of Love Island so we are excited for viewers to see what they have been up to since winning the show."

Director of Reality Commissioning and Controller, ITV2, Paul Mortimer, added: "We can't wait to bring this fantastic series to ITV2. We can look forward to more romance, laughter, fun and everything in between from the couple as they embark on two epic adventures in Turkey and Italy together."
