Dancing on Ice's Ekin-Su reveals she's 'training in bed' and hasn't yet had rink injury

Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has avoided injuries in Dancing on Ice training and credits boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti for helping her, er, practice.

While celebs including Joey Essex have suffered broken fingers ahead of the new series in January, Ekin-Su is impressing trainers.

"I've not even fallen on the floor yet," she says proudly. "I haven't broken a finger like Joey. I've not had an injury yet, which is a bit weird. I was ready to fall. It's a bit like ballet."

She joked of her impressive balance skills: "Honey, I'm training in the bed."

Ekin-Su met Dancing on Ice host Holly Willoughby at last week's Pride of Britain ceremony, and tapped her up for some tips.
