Love Island stars scoured Kent for hidden gems in the latest episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, who won the reality dating series last summer, appeared on the BBC show last night travelling through east Kent in a 1970s VW motorhome.
Their search for bargains started in Thanet with a visit to Petticoat Lane Emporium in Ramsgate.
Ekin-Su, a Turkish actress, was paired up with expert Tim Medhurst while Davide worked with Izzie Balmer in the show which saw the couple compete against each other.
Each team was given £400 to spend on five items they hoped to make a profit on at auction.
After making their first purchase, Davide and Izzie then headed to Sandwich to search Old Bank Antiques in Market Street.
The second stop for Ekin-Su and Tim was RG Scotts Furniture Mart in Margate before both pairs took a break in Broadstairs.
They met with the family behind Morelli's ice cream parlour in Viking Bay which has been serving Italian gelato since 1932.
Davide, originally from Italy, was tasked with making clementine sorbet, a nod to his surname, while Ekin-Su took a role making sundaes behind the counter.
The couple were spotted taking selfies with fans at the parlour while filming the show in May.
The final stops on their tour of Kent were Antiques and Collectables in the old gasworks in Faversham, and Bagham Barn Antiques in Chilham.
They then each took their five lots to auction with the hope of making a profit to win the show.
Despite both pairs making a loss, Davide was the winner as Ekin-Su was left with £191, while Davide had £215.
Ekin-Su and Davide, both 29, won Love Island in 2022 after viewers enjoyed watching their fiery romance.
They then went on to have their own reality TV series last year which followed them as they returned home to their native countries.
The episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
