ITV2 Love Island All Stars viewers issue same demand as Ekin-Su returns to villa
Love Island viewers all said the same thing as series eight winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu made her All Stars debut, arriving as the first bombshell in the villa
Love Island fans all had the same reaction as Ekin-Su Culculoglu made her All Stars debut.
As Series eight winner and fan favourite, the 30 year old star originally clinched victory with former partner Davide Sanclimenti in 2022.
Now single, she's stepped back into the ITV2 villa aiming for another shot at romance. However, the show's premiere on Monday (January 13) took an immediate dramatic turn when host Maya Jama revealed an unexpected twist.
Post-public vote couplings of the 12 sizzling singletons saw Ekin-Su's entry into the villa. Upon her arrival, Maya dropped the bombshell that Ekin-Su held the power to choose any man to pair up with.
Ekin-Su is back on Love Island for the second time
Leaving everyone on tenterhooks, the episode concluded without disclosing Ekin-Su's pick, with the decision set to unfold in Tuesday's episode (January 14).
Ekin-Su's appearance promptly triggered a social media frenzy, with a resounding chorus calling for her ex, Davide, to make a villa comeback. Fans reminisced about his time on the show, urging him to return, reports the Daily Star.
One viewer posted: "Could you imagine if Davide came back. His famous lines 'You are a liar, an actress, go the F OUT.' A moment I'll never forget, we need his energy.."
"Manifesting Davide to turn up," commented another hopeful fan, while another added: "Lol not Ekin-Su! Now bring back Davide".

In anticipation of her All Stars journey, Ekin-Su candidly shared her reasons for returning: "I want to return to Love Island again because it's where my journey started and has a special place in my heart."
"It's somewhere I've laughed, cried and learnt so much. The fact that there's an opportunity to do it again - why not! Why can't a winner go back in and re-write her story and have a second chance? ! I think you should follow your gut and my gut is telling me to go back, so I'm listening to it."
"I don't regret anything from series eight and I wouldn't change who I am. I'm going to carry on being me. I'm more mature now and I've learnt some lessons along the way - I might not react the same way as I did a few years ago, or I might do! W''ll never know until I'm there."
Love Island All Stars airs Sunday to Thursday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm
