EK OF A GAME PLAYER
Love Island’s Ekin Su branded a ‘game-player’ by Davide’s family ahead of final
LOVE Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu has been branded a “game-player” by Davide Sanclimenti’s family — as she goes head to head with Gemma Owen in the ITV2 show final.
Couple Ekin-Su and Davide, both 27, who declared their love for each other on a romantic date this week, are the favourites to triumph tomorrow night.

But they face hot competition from Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma, 19, and partner Luca Bish, 23.
Tonight’s show will see all of the remaining couples reunited with their family members, who will be invited into the Majorcan villa to meet their new partners.
And speaking ahead of the episode, Davide’s sister Valeria told how she and the rest of his family were “not happy” when Ekin-Su kissed Jay Younger, 28, behind his back.
They have now forgiven her for “playing games” and say they are excited to meet her.

Valeria, 29, who has been watching the show with parents Nadia and Giuseppe, said: “At the beginning Ekin-Su wanted to play games a bit.
"We weren’t angry because, when it happened, she and Davide had known each other for four days.
“We didn’t like it. Now we are happy she understood that she has made a mistake — she has even admitted it.
“We are happy things are going well.

"For Davide loyalty and trust is very important, so when a person is disloyal to him he gets down.
“But if he has forgiven her it means he really likes her.
"He is sincere — what he does, he does with his heart, he does what he feels.
“At the moment, we see him as into her and if he trusts her, he has reason to do so, so we don’t expect that he would be hurt.
“She is a strong personality and he needs someone who can stand up to him. I think they are a good couple for this reason.
"We can’t wait to meet her in person.”
Turkish actress Ekin-Su and Davide now have odds of 1/16 to win the show, while Gemma and Luca are 12/1 to scoop the £50,000 prize.
But Gemma faced a backlash after she was heard muttering “oh, she’s off again” as Ekin-Su relayed details of her final date with Davide.
Tonight’s show will also see the last couple of the series dumped from the island, leaving the final four couples.

One half of the winning pair will have to decide whether to share the prize or keep it for themselves.
The Sun revealed last week Ekin-Su had said in text messages she would take all the money if her connection “wasn’t genuine.”
