LOVE Island winner Davide Sanclimenti has his eyes set on a major new career move after struggling with his split from Ekin-Su Culculoglu.
The Italian hunk, 29, jetted to Dubai after the separation to rediscover himself and have some much needed fun in the sun.
Now, after it emerged he missed out on a place in the Celebrity Big Brother house to ex Ekin, Davide is plotting his next move and sees himself becoming the 'Italian Joe Wicks'.
A source said: "Davide has had a really tough couple of months and his mental health has understandably been hugely impacted by his recent break up.
"He decided to get away from it all to try to clear his head and find the fun, upbeat Davide that he used to be. He now feels ready to return to the UK and wants to focus much more of his efforts on his true passion in life – fitness.
"This has been a real crutch for his own mental health during his recent tough times and he now wants to use it to help other men struggling. He’s obviously in incredible shape and there’s no reason that with his personality he couldn’t be the Italian Joe Wicks.”
