The Love Island drama is continuing long after the show's close, as this year's winners took to the ITV studio. Davide Sanclimenti appeared on This Morning alongside girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu but the conversation soon turned into a grilling.
The couple, who won the 2022 series of the hit ITV2 programme, appeared on the morning show on Monday, September 5. Davide was soon put in the hot seat by host Phillip Schofield about being pictured hopping into the back of a taxi in London with two blonde bombshells while his girlfriend, Ekin-Su was away in LA.
Davide, 27, was put on the spot after the couple gushed about their relationship, according to the Mirror. The publication reported that things soon turned awkward when Phillip delivered a savage dig towards Davide after he was spotted leaving a club with two gorgeous Icelandic women last week.

Davide was leaving the O2 Arena following a KSI boxing match. Girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 28, was working on her Oh Polly collaboration in LA at the time.
While Phil didn't beat around the bush when quizzing Davide on what went down in the taxi, the Love Island winner insisted that both he and Ekin-Su laughed off the headlines. "You know what, I laughed it off actually," Davide insisted. While Ekin admitted that at first, she was rather taken aback as friends, family, and fans bombarded her with messages and screenshots of the mysterious snaps.
But Ekin's mind was out to rest once she called Davide from LA and he reassured her that there was nothing sinister behind the photos, saying he had simply jumped in the cab with the girls while his other friends were in a different taxi ahead of them.
Fans of the morning show soon took to Twitter to react. One said: "Phil took no prisoners there." Another added: "Davide was really put on the spot, poor thing hahaha". While another tweeted: "Davide wasn't expecting such a blunt delivery I bet."
