Love Island's Ekin-Su pines for Davide as she confesses to 'special connection'

Love Island's Ekin-Su Culculoglu is pining for 'Italian Stallion' Davide Sanclimenti despite being in Casa Amor.

The Turkish actress and influencer moved to the infamous second villa with the rest of the original girls to meet a new batch of boys - but it seems she only has Davide on her mind.

The pair have had somewhat of a tumultuous relationship on the ITV2 show so far, but are now coupled up once again after Ekin-Su chose to reunite with Davide.

In a teaser for Tuesday night's episode, Ekin-Su is keen to get Gemma Owen's take on her romance with Davide.

As they enjoy a workout together in the gym, Ekin-Su quizzes Gemma on Davide and asks her: "Do you think where me and Davide are quite fresh, and quite new, do you think there is a possibility that he would probably explore? Or would he have faith in me? Because I’m starting to overthink. What do you think?"

Gemma replies: "The thing is Ekin, he’s swallowed his pride a little bit to make things work again.

"I definitely think he’ll be having conversations, and I definitely think he’ll be flirting but when it comes down to the final point, I would say he would stick with you," she adds.

Ekin-Su then admits: "It’s different when you’ve got that special connection, that spark where you bounce off one another..."

It comes after Ekin-Su had a chat with newcomer George during Monday night's episode as he tried to get to know her a bit more.

On the topic of Davide, George asked her: “Do you feel like you’ve found the right guy right now?"

Ekin-Su responded: "If I’m honest, I genuinely felt like there was something there with me and Davide. I knew it was mutual so I went there and I don’t regret it. It was great. We had a last date together and it went well."

George then revealed Ekin-Su is at the top of his list and said: "When I first saw you, you stood out, put it that way. Big time."

However, her mind was very much still on Davide as she later said in the Beach Hut: "It’s not easy to be open again, you know. I’m still open to getting to know George however my heart and my mind is in my Italian dream man and I hope he’s ok."

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
