Love Island's Ekin-Su pictured training with Dancing On Ice hunk after laughing off curse

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has been seen training with her Dancing on Ice skating partner Brendyn Hatfield, after laughing off the show's 'curse'.

Love Island winner Ekin-Su, 28, is smitten with Davide Sanclimenti, who she won the dating series with in the summer.

The pair's romance continued to blossom after meeting in the programme's Majorcan villa – as they've shared plans to move in together and landed their own show, which is set to make them millionaires.

But, some fans grew concerned if Ekin-Su and Davide's love could stand the test of time after the Turkish actress signed up for the upcoming series of Dancing on Ice.

Ekin-Su has continued to rise above the concerns as she posted a video of herself and Brendyn, 36, on the ice together.

The video, posted to the former Islander's Instagram story, shows Brendyn counting the pair in before the gracefully glide along the ice.

It comes after the Turkish star laughed off concerns over the Dancing on Ice curse on Twitter as she posted a photo of herself and Brendyn.

Ekin-Su shared the same image on her Instagram page and added a pun in the caption which read: "So n-ice to meet my partner @brendynhatfield for this years @dancingonice today…Let’s smash it partner".

Sharing the photo to unveil her skating partner, one wrote wrote: "Davide is not going to like this".

Another added: "We all know how this one ends" followed by a laughing face emoji. And a third asked: "Where’s Davide!!!!"

However, Ekin-Su soon brushed off any curse concerns as she tweeted: "If I hear one more thing about this dancing on ice curse I will laugh very hard. Dear oh me… well at least my man fully supports me".

She added in a later tweet: "Oooo I’m so scared the curse oooooo… bahahahaahaha…oh I love it me and Davide are laughing at the comments".

While Ekin-Su is happy with her Love Island boyfriend Davide, Brendyn is a married man.

The 36-year-old American met wife Jessica Hatfield, who is also a professional skater, when they starred in Disney on Ice productions together around the globe.

Love blossomed when Jessica was Jasmine to Brendyn’s Aladdin.

Jessica is also a reserve dancer on the ITV show, which means she is on hand to fill in for any professional who is unable to perform throughout the series.
