More than a hundred people have complained to the broadcasting watchdog about the first episode of the new series of Dancing On Ice. Some viewers were outraged by the dance routine performed by former Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu and the outfit she wore on Sunday evening's season opener.
Many felt that the raunchy choreography to the Britney Spears song Toxic and the 28-year-old's costume were a bit much for the ITV family show, which was broadcast during early evening. The costume - a full-fabric jumpsuit chosen for Ekin-Su by the Dancing On Ice wardrobe department - was designed as a replica of the outfit worn by Britney in the music video for her 2004 Number One hit.
The dance, performed by Ekin-Su and her professional partner Brendyn Hatfield, saw the reality TV star recreate an iconic scene from last year's series of Love Island. At one point in the performance she got down to her hands and knees and crawled across the ice, evoking steamy memories of when she did the same thing in the Love Island villa before sharing a secret kiss with fellow contestant Jay Younger.
