ITV Dancing on Ice fans' fears for Ekin-Su after she wins skate-off

Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu took to the ice again in the second episode ITV skating contest Dancing On Ice for 2023. Last Sunday there was a shock at the end of the launch episode as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was told she faced the skate-off this weekend.

The glam actress, who won last summer's series of the ITV dating show with her man Davide Sanclimenti, from Manchester, has received a raft of support from fans after her sexy performance last Sunday sparked 112 Ofcom complaints. The 28-year-old recreated her famous Love Island terrace crawl during her racy routine to the Britney Spears’ hit Toxic with skating partner Brendyn Hatfield.

Host Holly Willoughby described the skate the "sexiest performance" on Dancing On Ice. Ekin-Su looked stunning in a jumpsuit designed to be a replica of Britney's bejewelled see-through costume in the Toxic music video.

The outfit was a full fabric jumpsuit but appeared to be a high-cut thong and bralet. @EnfieldGarry said on Twitter: "Not an outfit for a family show, shame you on Ekin Su." @Dia_Monty grumbled: "Oh come on. It's week one. Ekin Sue your not going to get more points for the lack of outfit!" And @suttylass exclaimed: "Ekin hell. Bit much at this time of night."

Tonight (Sunday, January 22) Ekin-Su was back to face the celeb who landed at the bottom of the second week. "Ready to fight?" host Holly Willoughby asked her. And she replied: "I think so yeah. I don't like that word."

Later she got her skates on for a skate-off with John Fashanu and his pro partner Alexandra Schauman. She skated in a plum coloured flouncy dress to the Ariana Grande song no Tears Left to Cry, and the judges decided unanimously to save her.

There was an outpouring of joy for reality TV favourite Ekin-Su on Twitter. But some viewers are worried for her. @boniface_lyn predicted: "Ekin won't get far in this competition, her days are numbered..." And @katie_boyle98 echoed: "Mark my words Ekin Su will be back in the skate off next week."

@nathanocarroll wrote: "Ekin better come out in a three piece suit next week or else she’ll be accused of being too provocative." And @karlfun88 observed: "Bless Ekin-Su she looked so scared!"
