LOVE Island fans ‘can’t wait’ for Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu to leave the villa to see how popular she is amongst the British public.
The Turkish beauty was crowned winner of Love Island 2022 alongside her partner Davide Sanclimenti.
Love Island fans can’t wait for Ekin-Su to find out how popular amongst the British public
The popular pairing were heavy favourites going into the final – and two-thirds of Sun readers correctly predicted the couple’s victory.
Bookies also predicted Ekin-Su and Davide, both 27, would walk it in the most clear cut victory since 2018 winners Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham’s won 80 per cent of the official vote.
But the Islanders – especially Ekin-Su – would have no idea how the public felt about them because they have no contact with outside world while they are in the villa.
Other than a brief meeting with family members, who are not allowed to bring them news from the outside, Islanders do not have access to social media or their phones.
Fans who have watched the eight week series said they were excited for Ekin-Su to leave the villa and see how widely loved she was across the country.
“i can’t wait to see ekin’s reaction when she realizes how popular she is,” tweeted one fan.
Another wrote: “I can’t wait for Ekin to see how much we adore her.”
A third added: “Srsly tho can’t wait for Ekin to see how loved she is after being bullied by them nasty lads all summer The people’s princess!!”
And a fourth commented: “i can’t wait for ekin su to come out and see the amount of the love she’s received from the public.. the girl probably has no idea.”
They triumphed over Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack, Gemma Owen and Luca Bish and Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri in a glamorous finale.
Ekin said of making the final two on Love Island: “It feels so surreal finding the man of your dreams and just growing.”
On what she liked most about Davide, she added: “Apart from the perfect body, I would definitely say there was an instant spark and a genuine butterfly feeling.”
She summed up their relationship as “absolutely bonkers”.
In a departure from past series, the winning pair weren’t tasked with deciding to split or steal the £50,000 prize pot.
Before being crowned series champs, Ekin and Davide poured their hearts out to one another in a tear-jerking declaration of love.
And they cemented their feelings in the form of a passionate snog that drew an “oh wow” from Gemma, who was watching from a neighbouring table.
The writing was on the wall for the other finalists following the results of our poll that saw 137,048 votes cast.
Gemma and Luca finished miles back in second place, in a close battle for runner-up spot with Tasha and Andrew.
