However, there's a lot more than romance on the cards for the new cast of the ITV2 show if the previous years are anything to go by, with fame and fortune just around the corner too.

Together they strengthened their financial power status with a big money deal with Google and their own ITV reality TV show.

In addition Davide has partnered with Boots opticians and fashion brand BooHoo Man, while Ekin-Su has also teamed up with Beauty Works and BPerfect Cosmetics.
