Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu wears gym equipment for a workout in Essex

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is back full on her fitness routine at her local gym just days after winning this year’s Love Island with boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti and seems thrilled to be back home.

The Turkish-English actress, drama queen and all-round icon of this year’s villa has been back on British soil alongside the other finalists since Wednesday and is very busy.

Not only has she shown huge popularity with Davide (of course) and been dragged back to the gym with her husband, but she’s also taken part in the Love Island reunion show, which airs Sunday night.

She was also clearly too busy to attend some previous work engagements, with ex-Icelander Adam Collard being brought in to fill in for her.

However, the reality TV favorite, 27, is back home in Essex and spent time at her local gym in Chigwell on Saturday.

The star, who entered the villa like a bombshell weeks before winning the £50,000 prize with Italian stud Davide, wore bluish purple leggings with a matching bra top for her session, complete with crisp white trainers.

Makes a change from her many (many) bikini workouts at the villa, right?

The beauty looked thrilled to be back in her regular place and also shared a video for her 2.4million Instagram followers.

A slightly sweaty-looking Ekin-Su, who showed up in the middle of a workout in the weights department, joked, “Of course I’m back in the gym!”

After spending weeks together, rowing, fighting and throwing the words “You’re a liar!” Ekin-Su and Davide, who are absolute reality TV legends, are spending their first time apart since they met earlier this summer.

It’s all good – no need to worry Ekinde fans: they’re just spending time with their respective friends and families, just 180 miles apart.

Davide, 27, returned to Manchester and had a proper boys’ night out with his pals in the city on Friday.

Sharing a sweet snap with his arm around his beautiful wife, Davide wrote: “Few days with our families and I’ll see my Queen soon @ekinsuofficial.”

The couple won Love Island in a landslide victory with over 63% of the public’s vote, beating Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope, and Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri.

It’s no surprise that the fiery couple won the title, however, as Ekin-Su’s fans are perhaps the most outspoken and passionate of the group.

From the moment she crawled across the patio to steal a secret kiss from Jay Younger long before she and Davide got serious, to her complete ignorance of who Alfie Boe was when he asked them out on their last date serenaded, she truly was one of ITV2’s biggest legends of all time.

We can’t wait for more of Ekin-Su in our lives.

The Love Island reunion episode airs on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2.
