Davide Sanclimenti was crowned winner of Love Island 2022 alongside his girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, and looking back on his time on the show, there are certain things that stand out to him.

Sitting down to chat with Her.ie, Davide recalled the moments we didn’t get to see and while he is yet to watch the series himself, there were some stand out moments.

“The only things I know they didn’t show was when Ekin was chasing Nathalia with the wooden spoon in the kitchen, in a funny way because they had a little argument by the end of the series when Nathalia was like ‘Ekin-who?’.”

When it comes to his favourite memories, there are two stand out moments – one involving Ekin-Su and the other being with his other true loves, the lads.

“I have two, with Ekin it was probably the most romantic day, you know the one, really romantic at the end,” he said.

“When we were getting ready with the boys for the sexy dance, we were getting ready and we were in the living room and we were just laughing so much, I’ve never laughed so much in my life. We were just being silly, getting ready in the costumes when the girls were outside waiting around the firepit. It’s been one of the best nights in the villa. Just hilarious.”

Of course, chatting to the one and only Davide, you have to ask what his favourite one-liner was – and it didn’t take long before he blurted out: “you’re a liar, an actress, go the f*ck out.”

While he may have said it to Ekin-Su, things still worked out and when asked what he loves about her, Davide could have sat there for hours talking.

“I like a lot of things about Ekin-Su, my favourite is probably her mindset and that she cares about me, the fact that she’s ambitious. She’s really caring, wife-material,” he said.

“She just makes me a better person, something that’s really important in a relationship. You want the other person to make you a better person. There are many things I love about Ekin-Su. I think she’s just the same person as me, I feel like we are the copy-paste one of each other. Whatever she likes, I like as well, whatever she dislikes, I dislike as well, we’ve got the same interests and same inspirations. In life, we want to do well and we both are ambitious people, we mix and match perfectly.”
