Love Island winners Ekin-Su and Davide to star in new ITV2 series Homecomings

The show will include scenes of Ekin-Su cooking gnocchi with Davide’s mother

Love Island 2022 winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti are returning to ITV2 with a new series, Homecomings.

The two-part series, which ITV has announced is “coming soon”, will see the couple travel to Davide’s native Italy and Ekin-Su’s hometown in Turkey.

Davide will give Ekin-Su a whistle-stop tour of the Italian city of love, Verona, made famous by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

Then they will travel through the Tuscan valley, Ekin-Su will cook gnocchi with Davide’s mother, and eventually fly to Turkey, where they will visit Istanbul.

Ekin-Su will introduce Davide to the people she met while living and working as an actor in Turkey. They will also go on an eight-hour road trip in a campervan to Ekin-Su’s family village of Odemis.

Speaking about plans for the show in August, Ekin-Su said: “It’ll be all real, you know, fighting and I’ll be cooking for him, he’ll be cooking for me. It’ll be like two cultures meeting.”

Davide and Ekin-Su emerged victorious on the latest season of Love Island, winning 63.69 per cent of the public’s votes.
