The two-part series, which ITV has announced is “coming soon”, will see the couple travel to Davide’s native Italy and Ekin-Su’s hometown in Turkey.
Davide will give Ekin-Su a whistle-stop tour of the Italian city of love, Verona, made famous by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Then they will travel through the Tuscan valley, Ekin-Su will cook gnocchi with Davide’s mother, and eventually fly to Turkey, where they will visit Istanbul.
Ekin-Su will introduce Davide to the people she met while living and working as an actor in Turkey. They will also go on an eight-hour road trip in a campervan to Ekin-Su’s family village of Odemis.
