Congratulations are in order for the new king and queen of the Love Island villa after Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti were announced as the worthy winners of 2022’s series.
After a rocky journey in the Love Island villa (more about that later), Laura Whitmore revealed that 27-year-old actor Ekin and business owner Davide, also 27, were the worthy winners during the live final.
The pair coupled up early on in their journey, but after she shared a kiss with Jay Younger on the balcony, things took a downward turn. Eventually, after a challenging Casa Amor, the couple found their way back to each other, saying ‘I love you’ (or ‘Ti amo’ in Italian, if you will) and going exclusive on the show.

It’s safe to say fans are OBSESSED with the fact they won the final, and were losing it over on social media. Here are the best reactions you need to see:
