Dancing on Ice's viewers spot Davide's sweary reaction to Ekin-Su ...

16 Jan 2023

Dancing on Ice returned last night (January 15), to put the first batch of this year's celebrities through their debut live performances.

With a score of 21.5, Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu ranked fourth out of six on the judges' leaderboard, a respectable placing.

But the judges' scores are combined with viewer votes, and this means that Ekin-Su ended up in the skate-off, where she will face the lowest-ranking skater from next week's show.

Her partner Davide Sanclimenti was in the audience to show his support and, as viewers noticed, mouth his displeasure at the possibility of her leaving the competition so soon.

Some found his reaction, and the fact it was caught on camera, funny, while some were shocked.

Talking to Digital Spy and other media, Ekin-Su explained how Davide has been supporting her in the lead-up to the first episode, stating: "He's been very supportive, he's been putting epsom salt in the baths for me, making sure I'm home, my body is relaxed, nice foot massages, nice back massages, nice healthy nutritional meals...

"He's really supportive, he wants me to smash it, he really does."

So far, Olympian Nile Wilson has impressed the judges most with a 29.5, while Joey Essex and The Wanted's Siva Kaneswaran did well with scores of 27 and 24, respectively.

EastEnders actress turned DJ Patsy Palmer and Liberty X's Michelle Heaton scored lower with the judges than Ekin-Su did, receiving marks of 21 and 19, respectively.
