Love Island 2022 winners Ekin-Su and Davide are heading back to ITV2 with their own series.
A brand new spin-off show, Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings follows the pair as they embark on two trips of a lifetime to Davide’s beloved Italy and Ekin-Su’s hometown in Turkey.
A teaser of the two-part series shares: “For the first time since leaving the Love Island Villa, Davide will return to Italy and his hometown Frosinone with Ekin-Su by his side. But before he heads home, Davide will 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.
“Then they will 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. They will also venture on a 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.
“Along the way viewers will be introduced to the pair’s family and friends, from parents to siblings to grandparents and more. But will pancake professional Ekin-Su be able to impress Davide’s family with her cooking skills? Time will tell when she prepares some homemade Gnocchi with the help of Davide’s mum.
“From sun, sea, Turkish baths and belly dancing, this is set to be another fantastic trip for the couple. And, of course, they’ll make time for a couples workout along the way.”
The episode has two episodes which aired on Monday, 28 November and Tuesday, 29 November on ITV2. You can watch the show on ITVX here.
Ekin-Su said of filming the show: “I was really excited to meet all of Davide’s family as well as explore and learn more about Davide’s culture. I was so excited to go on the road trip because we talked about it in the Villa and it is surreal it has actually happened! I was also really looking forward to Davide driving us around.”
Davide added: “I was looking forward to meeting Ekin’s parents and all of her family in Turkey and also looking forward to her meeting my family in Italy.
“I always said in the Villa that I am looking forward to bringing Ekin-Su to Italy so I was just so excited to finally bring her to my country, show her around and take her to eat some good Italian food. We had such a good time together.”
He continued of returning to his hometown: “It was surreal at the beginning because I didn’t expect to go into the Villa and then fall in love and bring the person that I love to my hometown. But at the same time, I was so excited and really enjoyed all of those special moments. I will cherish them.”
