Tuesday 2 August 2022 11:00 PM Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu says win feels 'surreal' as she returns to ... trends now

They were crowned as the winners of Love Island 2022 during Monday night's final.

And Davide Sanclimenti admitted he 'cried' when he saw fans' support online as he appeared on Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's Instagram Live on Tuesday.

The business owner, 27, said he became very emotional when he saw social media after the Islanders were given their phones back and returned to the real world.

Appearing with his actress partner, 27, in a video, he said: 'I was crying when I opened my phone, honestly.'

Meanwhile, Ekin-Su gushed that it felt 'surreal' that she and Davide were crowned winners and took home the £50,000 cash prize.

'It's our last night and I will be coming back to the UK tomorrow. I'm so happy I f**king won, it's surreal,' she said.

Ekin-Su was also asked by an eager fan if she and Davide plan to move in together, to which she teased: 'Oohh who knows! Who knows!' 

She went on to thank her fans for all their support and for 'believing' in her since 'day one' as she gushed over her stint on the ITV2 dating show.

The outpouring of fan support comes after the couple quickly became fan favourites in the villa, and secured more than 60 per cent of viewer votes in the final.

Gemma Owen and Luca Bish followed behind as runners-up, while Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope came in third place and Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page were fourth.

And after Ekin-Su and Davide's landslide victory, the Essex-based actress has already been tipped to become the show's highest earner in history.

She has already scooped £25,000 in prize money, and a source has told MailOnline she's already being inundated with lucrative offers, meaning she could surpass multi-millionaire Molly-Mae Hague, 23, who was runner-up on the 2019 series, to become the show's richest ever star.

Ekin-Su, who entered the villa on the third day as a bombshell, has already had a taste of the spotlight, having starred in Turkish soap operas and reality shows before entering the Love Island villa, and the brunette is now set to cash in with an estimated £1 million payday.

A source close to Ekin-Su told MailOnline: 'We've never seen the likes of the deals that are already coming through the door. It's not just your typical reality TV fodder. 

'She's absolutely inundated with lucrative offers from brands and they're prepared to pay big money to get her onboard. She's going to be the new Molly-Mae Hague!'

After the Islanders' were given back their phones on Tuesday, Dami Hope took to Instagram with his fellow finalists as they stay in a nearby villa in Mallorca before jetting back to the UK.

The Dubliner was joined on his Stories by winners Ekin-Su and Davide as they greeted their new fans.

Dami then shared an Instagram Live of himself walking around the
