Winter Love Island 2023 has burst onto our TV screens – adding some heat to the cold winter nights.

Ekin-Su, 28, and ‘Italian stallion’ Davide, also 28, won the hearts of viewers, and the resulting £50,000 prize – though their relationship on the show wasn’t all roses.
Few Love Island fans will ever forget Davide’s ‘you are a liar, actress’ rant during a heated argument.
The pair landed in the final alongside runners up Gemma Owen and Luca Bish (who have since split), third place Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope, and fourth place Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page.
What have Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti done since winning Love Island?
While many Love Islanders part ways after their series ends, 2022 winners Ekin-Su and Davide are still a couple.
Not long after leaving the villa, the couple shot a travel series for ITV2 called Ekin-Su and Davide: Homecomings.

Over two episodes, available to watch on ITVX, the pair took trips to their respective homelands Turkey and Italy – while Davide introduced Ekin-Su to his Italian family.
Ekin-Su is now starring in the 2023 series of Dancing on Ice – a challenge she says is ‘very intense’.
It hasn’t been totally smooth skating – as she’s unfortunately found herself in the next skate-off, after failing to impress the voting public with her routine to Britney Spears’ Toxic.
Glamorous Ekin-Su was clearly disappointed in the result, fighting back tears as she told the show: ‘I’ve been really ill as well and I know it’s not an excuse but…’

Davide, meanwhile, has been supporting his girlfriend, telling Good Morning Britain of the shock result: ‘She’s a bit sad. We had a long talk.
‘But she knows that she’s a strong woman she knows what she wants. I think this will push her to be better and better week by week.’
He added: ‘I wasn’t surprised that she could actually dance on the ice because I’ve been following over the training… she did a very good performance.’
The couple also have also secured brand deals since leaving the show – Davide with Boohoo Man and Ekin-Su with clothing retailer Oh Polly!, while Ekin-Su has also graced the cover of Grazia magazine.

Away from work, the happy couple were confirmed to have moved in together in November 2022.
Davide even surprised Ekin-Su with a Cartier promise ring around Christmastime – and in January the pair celebrated Davide’s 28th birthday in style.
