Dancing on Ice viewers claim to have 'overheard' Davide Sanclimenti' swearing and sending a defiant message of support to Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu, after his girlfriend ended up in the bottom two on Sunday night.
Months after Ekin-Su and other half Davide won the latest series of Love Island, he was in the audience to see the former actress and singer make her Dancing on Ice debut, as she took to the ice for the first time alongside pro partner Brendyn Hatfield. Having been high up in the odds to be a potential winner, Ekin-Su was aiming to impress with her first performance, but things didn't go quite as well as she hoped for, as the scores for her and Brendyn's routine were only enough to see them finish fourth out of six couples on the first leaderboard of the new series.
Ekin-Su was defended by fans, after critics accused her performance to Britney Spears' Toxic and outfit, which mirrored Britney's in the song's music video, of being 'inappropriate' for Dancing on Ice's early evening timeslot. Judges Christopher Dean and Ashley Banjo both recognised the potential in Ekin-Su, telling her they were keen to see what was to come but, unfortunately for her and Brendyn, they will now have to battle for their place in the competition, after landing in the skate-off.
Audible boos were heard in the studio when Sunday's result was announced, with Davide looking shell-shocked and fans watching at home then claim they saw him mouth an expletive, before shouting 'come on baby' as she skated off the rink.
One viewer rushed to Twitter to posd: "Ekin-Su's shock and confusion, and Davide clearly mouthing WTF," as another exclaimed: "NOT DAVIDE SAYING WTF WHILE THE CAMERA WAS ON HIM" and a third reacted:: "Omg Davide is fuming."
After Ekin-Su was interviewed by Dancing on Ice hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield and admitted she was 'rally upset' at the result, fans then say they heard Davide's message of support to his girlfriend, with one tweeting: "GUTTED for @ekinsuofficial!! Davide saying come on baby & clapping while she skates off you’ve got this Ekin!!!"
