One said "@ekinsuofficial you're in bottom for next week not happy all my votes went on your #DancingOnIce think we need a recount", while another added: "Hot @ekinsuofficial was wow and didn't deserve to be in the skate off #DancingOnIce". Ekin-Su herself looked very disappointed to be heading into the skate off.

Looking visibly shocked by the results she said: "Gutted. I am just sad. It is fine, just gotta keep going." Ekin-Su impressed the judges, scoring 21.5, with her routine to Britney Spears's Toxic with nods to her Love Island days of her crawling along the ice.

In 2022 Ekin-Su won Love Island with her boyfriend Davide Scanclimenti and although they had some fiery arguments in the Love Island villa the couple have stayed together since the show ended. You can read more about Ekin-Su here.
