Dancing on Ice's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu 'silent' as result surrounded by controversy

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has yet to address her rather controversial xeit from Dancing on Ice as many fans have hit out at Sunday's result, arguing she should still be on the show.

After disappointment in week one, when she landed in the first skate-off of the ITV programme's new series, Love Island winner Ekin-Su avoided the bottom two after her second performance and, this weekend, the former singer and actress and her pro partner Brendyn Hatfield took to the rink for a disco inspired routine to 70s anthem Car Wash as Dancing on Ice staged its Dance Week.

Sadly for Ekin-Su, even a topless cameo from boyfriend Davide Sanclinmenti, wasn't enough to get high scores from the judges, as she and Brendyn ended up languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard after all of this week's performance, As she skated, ITV viewers at home couldn't help but notice the strapping on Ekin's leg, with her saying she picked up an injury that not even the judges were aware of..

Unlike seven days earlier, there was to be no celebrating for Ekin as, after watching many of her co-stars make it through to the next live show, she ended up in the dreaded skate-0off, alongside EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer. Ekin-Su and Brendyn skated first, performing the same routine as they did two weeks earlier, before Patsy and her pro skating partner Matt Evers followed them onto the ice.

Patsy and Matt got the unanimous backing of the Dancing on Ice Judges, sealing Ekin-Su's exit, as she looked gutted with the result. And many fans at home shared in her disappointment, accusing the judges of making the wrong decision.

Taking aim at the result, one viewer fumed: "I think the judges was watching a different show to me. Ekin was way better. To me it looked like Patsy had to be held up for support most of the time. Did she even skate on her own? I didn’t see it Ekin skating way more than her."

A second tweeted: "Are the judges blind ???? At least Ekin su skated on her own in the skate off a bit , Patsy never let go of Matt all the way round " and equally confused and annoyed at the result, another blasted: "Excuse me? I'm quite new to the show. Can anyone tell me, what the absolute f**k was the crack with that judging in the skate off?!. If Patsy was BETTER than Ekin, I'll do a streak on next week's ice! . Total crap! Not a chance was she better than Ekin!"
