Dancing On Ice's Ekin-Su reveals which Love Island stars are supporting her amid 'feud' claims

Dancing On Ice star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has confirmed which Love Island stars will be supporting her - amid claims of a 'feud'.

The actress won last year's series of the ITV2 dating show alongside her partner Davide Sanclimenti. The pair finished ahead of the likes of Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page and Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack, with claims at the time that there was a 'feud' between some of the Islanders as they all headed back to the UK.

Now Ekin-Su has revealed who will be heading to the ice rink to see her perform on the ITV skating show - and hinted who won't.

Speaking to The Mirror and other press, she said: "Luca's coming this Sunday, Indiyah's coming, Dami's coming, Tasha and Andrew will come when they're back from Australia. Laura Whitmore's coming too! We love Laura."

Ekin-Su says Davide has been a huge support for her too and rubbished claims of a curse.

"It's made our relationship a lot stronger - it's really crazy. It's made us love each other more because I've got this passion. I'm doing something I love and that's really attractive for a person anyway so it's great, I'm happy I'm doing it. See you later to the curse!"

Asked how this will be different from her Love Island experience, she said: "Love Island you have an objective - to find the love of your life. You’re in a bubble. But the thing they have in common is that your mindset has to be focused.

"With Dancing on Ice you have to practise on getting better but with Love Island you have to practise letting go of everything else and focusing on your emotions and being in the moment. Yes I am [in it to win it], otherwise I’m not doing it."

She added: "I don’t mind going home early but my mind doesn’t work like that. If I’m doing it, I’m putting 100% in. I’m going to believe in myself, I believe in myself so much. I skated when I was a kid but it’s been ages since I skated, you forget don’t you?

"During the pandemic I forgot how to walk because we were stuck inside for two years! I’m very competitive so if I have to do two hours of rehearsing then I’ll be there for four - I’m going to aim for the sky!"

*Dancing on Ice starts Sunday 15th January at 6:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
