Dancing On Ice 2023: Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu joins line-up

Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is going from strength to strength as it's announced she's joining the line-up for Dancing On Ice.

The Turkish actress, who shot to fame after finding love with Davide Sanclimenti on the ITV2 dating show, is the latest celebrity to join DOI 2023. Ekin-Su, 28, will be joining former EastEnders star Patsy Palmer, ex-footballer John Fashanu, and a whole host of other famous faces who are yet to be announced.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain to reveal the good news, she told hosts: "I've got some amazing news to tell you. I will be doing this year's Dancing On Ice. I am so excited for the team, I can't wait to get myself on the ice and skate."

It comes after her boyfriend Davide, 27, claimed he turned down an offer to join the skating show because he didn't have the time to commit to it all. He said: "I have so much going on and I can't commit to something every day and when I do something I want to do it properly.

"Right now I just can't focus on something like that, for the moment anyway, but in the future maybe I will."
