Love Island winners Ekin-Su and Davide kiss on first date night out of the villa in London

Love is still in the air for Love Island couple Luca Bish and Gemma Owen. The pair who were runners up in the show, lost out on the winner title and £500,000 prize to Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, but that didn’t seem to dampen their romance in any way.

Love Island runner-up Gemma Owen has teased exciting new brand deals in the pipeline for her to fans this week. While Gemma, 19, missed out on the show’s £50,000 winners’ cash prize with partner Luca Bish, losing out to couple Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, it seems the horse rider is about to be rolling in the money.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has reportedly signed a £1million deal to become the face of fashion brand Oh Polly. A source broke the news to The Sun, explaining: “After speaking with all of the major fashion brands Ekin-Su wanted to work with a brand that aligned to her own values of sustainability and therefore decided against signing to a fast fashion brand.

EKIN-Su Cülcüloğlu has signed a fashion deal for over £1million – the biggest endorsement in Love Island’s history. The 27-year-old actress has been hand picked to be the new face of popular fashion brand Oh Polly after winning this year’s show with Davide Sanclimenti  by a landslide.

There’s no denying that Love Island 2022 was a series that bought it all, from romance to drama and tension, the eight weeks it was on were certainly gripping.This year’s cast, like previous years before them, have left the villa in time for plenty of brand partnerships and ways to change their lives. While many apply for a chance to be on the ITV dating show - and applications are currently open for 2023 - others were scouted while out and about in their daily lives. We take a look at how this year’s group came to be on the show.

Some of the biggest stars of this year's Love Island proved that their friendships are still going strong outside the villa as they enjoyed a boozy night out at a swanky London restaurant - but two couples were mysteriously missing. Tasha Ghouri, Andrew Le Page, 28, Indiyah Polack, 23, Dami Hope, 26, Paige Thorne, 24, and Adam Collard, 26, all reunited at Mayfair's MNKY HSE to celebrate Tasha's 24th birthday, and they all looked in high spirits as they ate, drank and danced the night away.

Celebrations were in the air for Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri who turned 24 this week.To mark her big day, Tasha invited her fellow Islanders to a bash in Mayfair’s MNKY HSE and was joined at the swanky venue by her pals. In attendance was Tasha’s beau Andrew Le Page who proved his romance with his girlfriend is going from strength to strength.The pair were also joined by a group of this year’s Love Island cast at the Latin American restaurant that pulled out the stops to celebrate Tasha’s big day - though a few of the group were notably absent. Also at the special bash were Indiyah Polack and beau Dami Hope as well as Paige Thorne and Adam Collard.The group seemed to be living it up during the celebrations which included sparklers and delicious trays of food.

ITV has been forced to deny rumours circulating on social media that controversial Love Island contestant Jacques O’Neill, 23, was actually removed from the villa for doing an impression of fellow islander and deaf contestant Tasha Ghouri, 23.The allegations, which are unsubstantiated, began swirling after a series of text messages, alleged to be from someone who had met a member of the Love Island team at a party, claimed Jacques was actually removed from the villa for misogynistic behaviour and doing an impression of Tasha who is deaf. Screenshots of texts have appeared online which make claim that these were the shock real reasons behind Jacques' sudden exit from the villa.

LOVE Island on-screen reunion was roundly panned by fans - but their wild meet-up last night looked much more fun. Some of the villa's biggest names piled into London's Mnky Hse for food, shots and a lot of Instagram videos in honour of Tasha Ghouri's birthday.
