Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has left Dancing on Ice fans in a state of shock, after undergoing a dramatic transformation for Sunday's show.
It's been a rather fraught few week for the Love Island winner; after going into the first live show as a hot tip to win the new series, she ended up in the first skate off of 2023, after a turn of events no-one saw coming. Ekin-Su herself looked surprised at having to battle for her place in the competition so soon, before beating John Fashanu last weekend to stay in.
Ekin-Su raised a few eyebrows with her first week routine to Britney Spears' Toxic, dressed in a body suit reminiscent of the worn by the singer in the track's famous music video. She was defended by fans as over 100 ITV viewers complained to Ofcom about the performance.

And this week she is debuting a look that is the polar opposite a few weeks ago, as she has become Julie Andrews' iconic character Maria, for a Sound of Music themed skate as Dancing on Ice goes to the Musicals.
Ekin posted a photo of herself with a short blonde hair do in the make up chair backstage, ahead of Sunday's live show, telling her many followers she was gearing up for 'a big night ahead.'
Her new look got a huge reaction from those who saw the snap, with her Love Island 2022 co-star Tasha Ghouri responding: "Omggggg this look on you." Former Dancing on Ice star, Gemma Collins, wrote: "Smash it honey," and Ekin-Su's boyfriend, Davide Sanclementi declared he 'couldn't wait' for her performance.
