Love Island: Islanders share concerns about Ekin-Su and Davide
Love Island's Ekin-Su has won over Davide's family and they can't wait to meet her, after they forgave the actress for playing "games" at the start.
Viewers have been transfixed by the pair's fiery romance, which at first seemed doomed after Ekin, 27, had a secret balcony snog with new bombshell Jay, while she was coupled up with the Italian Stallion.
The brunette beauty later admitted she made a mistake and has since proved her loyalty to Davide, 27, many times, with the pair now eyeing up a place in the final after a romantic date.
And it seems Ekin-Su has not only gained the affection of many fans, but Davide's family, too.

Davide's sister Valeria, who has been watching the ITV 2 show with her parents, told The Sun: “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."
Valeria said the family was happy things going well for the pair and they can't wait to meet the Turkish soap actress in person.

She added that the pair make a good couple as Ekin has a strong personality, and Davide suits someone who can stand up to him.
Ekin and Davide are at risk of being dumped from the ITV2 show just days before the final, along with Luca and Gemma, Paige and Adam and Andrew and Tasha.
It came after the couples had to vote for who they thought were the two least compatible couples.
Indiyah and Dami are the only safe couple as they didn't receive one single vote from any of the other couples.
Instead, Davide and Ekin-Su received the most – a total of four, as everyone else claimed they are the least compatible.
Gemma and Luca received a total of three votes as Davide, Ekin-Su, Paige, Adam, Indiyah and Dami all voted for them.
Even if Ekin-Su doesn't make it into the final and scoop the jackpot prize, she won't be short of cash.
She and 19-year-old Gemma have been earmarked as the biggest potential earners from the 2022 series, with brands queuing up to sign them.

An insider said: “Ekin-Su and Gemma have been the stand-out stars in terms of marketability. Ekin-Su is not only beautiful, but she also has a captivating personality.
“Gemma has such a wise head on her shoulders. With the Owen name, she already has a big profile which brands want to tap into. And her own swimwear brand, OG Beachwear, will be sure to get a big boost.”
The reality TV show has already made many of its past stars millionaires, from Molly-Mae Hague, who bagged a £500,000 deal with PrettyLittleThing, to Dani Dyer who has been behind numerous collections with In The Style.
