Despite their ups and downs throughout the show,Ekin-Su CülcüloğluandDavide Sanclimentiare looking firm favourites for the final and it appears they have the support of the Italian Stallion's family, too.
Ekin-Su and Davide, both 27, are a strong couple but had a rocky start including aniconic terrace scene that saw the Turkish actress crawlingacross the floor before sharing a kiss with bombshellJay Younger.
But as the 2022 series prepares to draw to a close, the fiery couple appear closer than ever and evenprofessed their love for one another, and look to be hard to beat to win the show.
As the penultimate show airs tonight Sunday 31 July, viewers will see Islanders reunited with their families as they are invited into the villa to meet their loved ones' partners ahead of the final.
Ahead of the show, Davide’s sister Valeria has spoken to The Sun to say how much the family are looking forward to meeting Ekin-Su and have forgiven her for “playing games” early on.
Watching the show with her parents Nadia and Giuseppe, Valeria, 29, told the publication: “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.
“We are happy things are going well.”
Viewers have got to know the importance of loyalty to the Italian star in this series, and his family feel it says a lot if he has forgiven Ekin-Su.
Valeria continued: "For Davide loyalty and trust is very important, so when a person is disloyal to him he gets down.
“But if he has forgiven her it means he really likes her.
"He is sincere – what he does, he does with his heart, he does what he feels.
“At the moment, we see him as into her and if he trusts her, he has reason to do so, so we don’t expect that he would be hurt.
“She is a strong personality and he needs someone who can stand up to him. I think they are a good couple for this reason.
"We can’t wait to meet her in person.”
Former Islander Jay, 28, explained that he thinks Davide and Ekin-Su have a real chance of winning as they're a "genuine" couple and "such good people".
"I love Ekin and Davide, they're such good people," Jay told OK! on the red carpet at theNational Reality TV Awards UK 2022.
