Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has been defended by fans, after critics branded it 'unfair' that she was kept in Dancing on Ice over John Fashanu on Sunday night.
As soon as her name appeared on the confirmed line-up for the new series, Love Island winner Ekin-Su was installed as the favourite to win the new series of the ITV show, being overtaken in the odds right before her debut by Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson. That ended up being a spot on call by bookmakers as Nile ended up topping the leaderboard in week one, while Ekin-Su landed in the skate-off in a result that no-one predicted.
Ekin-Su looked gutted as soon as her fate was confirmed, glancing at pro partner Brendyn Hatfield in shock as they had to come to terms with the disappointment, She had a week to try and get over the upset and prepare for the first skate-off of the new series, waiting to see who would be her opponent.
