Davide Sanclimenti turned heads when he first arrived in the villa, hours after the fresh batch of singletons had been coupled up and started their Love Island 2022 journey. The 27-year-old caused all kinds of drama when he coupled up with Gemma Owen, 19, but has since moved on.
The Italian business owner, who is from Rome but lives in Manchester, found himself attracted to bombshell contestant Ekin-Su Culculoglu and the pair, after eventually coupling up, had viewers begging the ITV2 dating show to make a change.
However, there is trouble in paradise as Turkish actress Ekin-Su complains that Davide appears to be making no effort - particularly when it comes to bringing her a coffee in the morning. But that soon changed when new bombshells Jay Younger and Remi Lambert made their entrance, with Jay catching the 27-year-old woman's eye.

In Wednesday night's episode the pair enjoyed a romantic meal together after Ekin-Su was chosen as his date for main course by the pool. Jay, 28, and Ekin-Su got very close during the main course, sharing a piece of spaghetti Lady And The Tramp style, with Davide looking on from the terrace.
When he eventually decided to stop watching the dates alongside the other boys and Gemma, who was the only girl not chosen for a date with the villa newbies, Davide told the boys: "I do not like these kind of games."
But Davide's 'team' on the outside aren't happy and have took to his Instagram page to have their say. Sharing a picture of Davide, they wrote: "How about you make your own coffee."
They went on: "Over the past few days we all had to tolerate a desperate attempt to steal the show. Like Davide said “something is not quite right” and we really hope he figures out what’s really going on and takes action. He’s got a big heart and deserves someone genuine, someone on the same Pa(i)ge [wink emoji]."
They ended the message: "On behalf of Davide, Thank you for all your support, it means so much to him," adding a heart emoji. The post racked up thousands of likes but has since been deleted.
But there could be more trouble to come as Love Island viewers couldn't believe their eyes as they saw what she was up as they were shown a teaser clip from tonight's episode (Thursday). The clip showed Ekin-Su crawling on her hands and knees across the terrace as she made her move on Jay.
With the announcement "tomorrow night one girl makes her move" Ekin-Su could be seen crouching out of sight as she beckoned Jay towards her. As Jay stooped away from view of their fellow Islanders she placed her finger over her lips as he moved in for a kiss. And with a re-coupling never far away, could Davide be at risk of being single and even worse, dumped from the villa?
