Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu failed to hide her shock and upset as Dancing on Ice viewers claimed she looked 'raging' as it was revealed she was in the bottom two at the end of Sunday's show.
In the weeks leading up to the ITV drama's return, Love Island winner Ekin-Su was named favourite to win by a number of bookmakers, before being eclipsed in the odds by Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson. Ekin has joined forces with pro skater Brendyn Hatfield for her Dancing on Ice stint and the two made their debut on the rink with a rather racy routine to Britney Spears classic Toxic.
After the music ended, judge Christopher Dean made the rather odd remark to Ekin-Su that she would have got 10 out of 10, if she 'didn't have her skates on' as he praised her dance ability and musicality. Ashley Banjo told the former singer and actress that he saw the potential in her and was looking forward to seeing what she could when she did some more solo skating.
Ekin-Su ended the first live show third bottom from the leaderboard, but received plenty of praise from fans online, as well as impressing boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti, who cheered her on in the audience.

After viewers voted for their favourites, it was the job of hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby to deliver the results and, after four couples made it through, Ekin-Su and Brendyn were left standing with Michelle Heaton and Lukasz Rozycki, who had finished bottom of the standings.
However, there was clearly a lot of support out there for Michelle, as it was Ekin-Su who ended up in danger. She was seeing mouthing: "What? What? We're in the skate off?" to Brendyn as their fate was revealed, while Davide looked gutted in the crowd.
Sitting next to him, former Dancing on Ice star Colin Jackson was also quick to express his shock, before Ekin-Su told Phillip and Holly she was upset by the outcome.
Picking up on her facial expression, one viewer tweeted: "The look on Ekin Su’s face was priceless when she realised she was in the bottom 2! She was ragin!" with a second reacting: "Honestly….Why was she so shocked? She was pretty bad really!! Seemed to just want to pose instead of skate. @Ekinsuofficial you can do so much better!"
