According to lover Davide Sanclimenti, Dancing On Ice’s Ekin-Su Culculoglu is devastated after landing in the dreaded skate-off.
Despite impressing judges Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Christopher Dean, and Jayne Torvill with her sultry performance to Britney Spears‘ Toxic and receiving an amazing 21.5 points on Sunday night, the Love Island star garnered the fewest votes and finished in the bottom two.
Reacting to the news at the moment, Ekin-Su seemed obviously stunned and told broadcasters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: ‘I’m really upset but it’s fine. Continue your journey.’
‘I’ve been terribly ill as well, and I know it’s not an excuse, but…’ she concluded, fighting back tears.
Davide appeared on Monday’s Good Morning Britain to provide an update on how his partner was doing following the devastating news.

Speaking to presenters Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, he said: ‘She’s a bit sad. We had a long talk.
‘But she knows that she’s a strong woman she knows what she wants. I think this will push her to be better and better week by week.’
Davide also shared his verdict on Ekin-Su’s skating debut.

‘I wasn’t surprised that she could actually dance on the ice because I’ve been following over the training,’ he said.
‘What I’ve been proud of is she actually entered in the character and she did a very good performance.’
Davide wasn’t alone in his admiration for his partner, as the judges praised the routine as well.
Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Oti said she ‘loved’ Ekin-Su’s performance as it was ‘hot, hot, hot – from the outfit to the make-up’.
Olympian skater Jayne Torvill agreed it was ‘sexy’ but added: ‘I want more skating.’
Ekin-Su will now battle against one of five celebrities next week.
During his visit on Good Morning Britain, Davide debunked engagement rumours by gifting Ekin-Su a ring during the holidays.
‘We love each other,’ he beamed. ‘We’re still not getting married. I wanted to buy her a ring, a promise ring.’
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
