The elimination of Ekin-Su Culculoglu from Dancing On Ice has sparked a furious reaction on social media from her supporters. Fans took to Twitter to criticise the ITV show's audience, with some going as far as to call its viewers 'vile' and accuse them of misogyny.
The Love Island winner became the third celebrity to leave the show on Sunday night after an episode of live dance-themed performances. The reality TV star and actress received the fewest votes and appeared in the dreaded dance-off against former EastEnders star Patsy Palmer.
Skating for survival, a visibly upset Culculoglu and her partner Brendyn Hatfield danced to Ariana Grande’s No Tears Left To Cry in their second skate-off during their time on the show. But judge Jayne Torvill sealed Ekin-Su's fate when she chose to save Palmer who had a “cleaner performance”, alongside Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo – who said both women should be proud of their skating performances.
