Love Island's Ekin-Su says WhatsApp group chat is dead three months after show ended

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has revealed that the Love Island WhatsApp group chat is inactive just three months after the show.

The 2022 series winner opened up in an interview about the group dynamic, where she claimed she just speaks to some contestants separately.

Ekin-Su said that there is still one group chat that she is in but nobody talks on it anymore and they haven't in months.

The star explained that everyone that was on the show is extremely busy due to their new found fame as well as having their own relationships to focus on.

Ekin-Su won the most recent series alongside boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti.

Speaking to Heat magazine, Ekin-Su said: "There's still one Islander [ WhatsApp ] chat I'm in and no one speaks on it. The last time everyone had a proper chat was two months ago. But I message Gemma and Tasha individually.

"Everyone's so busy and have their own relationships to focus on."

While Davide said he hasn't been in any Islander group chats due to his Italian and English mobile phone numbers getting mixed up.

This comes after it was announced that Davide and Ekin-Su were getting their own travel show, titled Homecomings, together.

Homecomings sees the pair both travel to their home countries where they experience the culture of their other halves' home.

They travel to Turkey and Italy and the pair have already confirmed there will be some classic Ekin-Su and Davide arguments aired.

Ekin-Su said the most challenging part of the show was that every moment was filmed which made navigating a romance tricky.

She said: "The most challenging moment was that everything was filmed. We wanted it to be as real as possible and there are moments you will see where we bicker and argue, but all couples go through that.

"If we wanted privacy we couldn't because it's a reality show at the end of the day."

To begin with, the couple travel to Italy, where they visit Davide’s hometown of Frosinone.

It is his first time there since he exited the Love Island villa earlier in the year, and he is set to take Ekin-Su on a tour of the local area.

The couple also enjoy a whistle-stop tour of Verona and explore the Tuscan valley.

They then head to Turkey where they begin in Istanbul.

The Love Island couple have also signed a huge deal with Google to star in their own cookery show.

A teaser for the Google cookery show, Saved By The Search with Davide and Ekin-Su, saw the reality stars making mischief together in the kitchen.
