From their fights to their make-ups, Love Island\u2019s Davide Sanclimenti<\/a> and Ekin-Su Cu\u0308lcu\u0308log\u0306lu<\/a> are firm favourites to win the season \u2013 with the RadioTimes.com<\/a> team, at least.<\/p>\n

The pair have cemented their places in the Love Island hall of fame with their instantly iconic one-liners, takedowns and, of course, their now famous sparring.<\/p>\n

The villa\u2019s \u201cMum and Dad\u201d and \u201cdivorced couple\u201d have been through their ups and downs, so for all those who wish to celebrate everything Ekinde, we\u2019ve put together a list of their highlights so far. Enjoy.<\/p>

Why Davide and Ekin-Su should win Love Island \u2013 Ekinde\u2019s best moments<\/strong><\/h2>\n
1) \u201cLiar, actress!\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t be a round-up of Davide and Ekin-Su\u2019s greatest moments on Love Island without a mention of their first-ever argument in the villa.<\/p>\n<p>After Ekin got caught crawling around with <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/entertainment\/reality-tv\/love-island-2022-contestant-jay-younger\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Jay Younger<\/a> on the terrace, Davide went full flip mode squad on her, calling her a \u201cliar, actress\u201d and saying that she deserved an Oscar.<\/p>\n<p>He ended the argument by telling her to \u201cGo the fk out\u201d, adding: \u201cI hope you find the love of your life because me and you are closed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Grace Henry, Entertainment and Factual Editor<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2) <\/strong><strong>The \u2018new girl\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n<iframe title=\""Davide\" pranks=\"\" the=\"\" girls=\"\" love=\"\" island=\"\" uk=\"\" width=\""200"\" height=\""113"\" src=\""https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HMQwTSLS0fA?feature=oembed"\" frameborder=\""0"\" allow=\""accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>In one of the funniest moments featured on Unseen Bits this year, the boys decide to pull a prank on the girls by claiming they\u2019ve received a text about new bombshells \u201cAbby and Immy\u201d entering the villa. Knowing Davide inside-out, Ekin-Su sees straight through their plan and predicts (correctly): \u201cOne of them is going to dress up as a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lo and behold, Davide struts back into the villa in a pink two-piece and heels, shouting, \u201cHey girls! Is there anyone in the villa?\u201d to the delight of everyone else. Clearly, Ekin-Su and \u201cAbby\u201d are meant to be!<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Lauren Morris, Entertainment and Factual Writer<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3) \u201cFake like the Louis Vuitton from China\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<iframe title=\"'"Fake\" as=\"\" the=\"\" louis=\"\" vuitton=\"\" from=\"\" china=\"\" love=\"\" island=\"\" uk=\"\" width=\""200"\" height=\""113"\" src=\""https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Abblc-88OZE?feature=oembed"\" frameborder=\""0"\" allow=\""accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" fake=\"\"\/>\n<p>Davide delivered another quality one-liner during yet another lover\u2019s tiff with Ekin-Su. As the pair argued \u2013 this time about Ekin\u2019s alleged \u201cflirting\u201d with returning bombshell Adam Collard \u2013 Davide stormed off, but not before branding her: \u201cFake as the Louis
