Davide Sanclimenti is looking forward to a very special year ahead with his gorgeous girlfriend, Ekin-Su Culculoglu.
The former Love Island winner, 28, who stole the hearts of the nation in 2022 with his handsome looks and witty charm, recently revealed that he rekindled his romance with the Turkish actress and reality TV star after they called it quits on their whirlwind romance earlier this year.
After getting back together, the Davide and Ekin-Su are now better than ever, and in the happiest relationship they could have dreamed of - and both stars are looking forward to making huge steps in their romance in the New Year. Speaking to The Mirror ahead of his singing debut on ITV's Get Britain Singing, Italian native Davide revealed that he's excited to travel and see the world alongside Ekin-Su in 2024.
"We are going to be travelling together a lot in 2024. We need a hot weather country so we will try to spend a few months in a hot country travelling. We are trying to do something together, when we work together we enjoy it and it never feels like work. We laugh with each other and have a lot of banter. Time flies without realising," Davide gushed.
Davide and Ekin-Su are so loved up at the moment that the Turkish beauty is even flying to Italy to spend Christmas with her beau's family. Lifting the lid on their cute Christmas plans, Davide told The Mirror: "Christmas plans this year we are going to Italy, me and Ekin. She is going to come with us with her mum and brother to spend Christmas together with my mum and sister as well.

Then on the 28th, just after Christmas and New Year, me and Ekin are going on the Alps to ski in Italy. It’s been such a long time since I’ve skied, so I said to Ekin that we should do something new for New Year. I said what about spending it on my birthday on New Year's Day on the mountains skiing," he added.
While Davide is excited about his Christmas plans, the Love Island legend is also waiting in anticipation for the UK to witness his singing skills once and for all as he gears up to take part in Get Britain Singing. Opening up about why he decided to put himself out there and join the show, Davide admitted that it felt right and is something that is close to his heart.
"I signed up because it's supporting the great cause of Britain Get Talking, and to show people should not be ashamed of their particular situation and to push them to open up and share their feelings with close one. Not everyone is having a beautiful day, and we don’t know what the people in front of us are going through so always to be kind and supporting each other," the star explained.
"This was the main point of the show. It celebrates people to sing in the spirit of Christmas and for Britain Get Talking, so we tried to show people that they don’t need to be in their comfort zone to do something. You can step out and still challenge yourself in a new environment and there’s nothing to be afraid of. Life is short. Enjoy and don’t be afraid or ashamed to speak up."
Britain Get Singing airs on ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday 24th December (Christmas Eve) at 8:35pm.
