Love Island champion Davide Sanclimenti has shared his thoughts on girlfriend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu being in this year’s first Dancing On Ice skate-off. After performing for the first time on the ITV show on Sunday, January 15, Ekin-Su and partner Brendyn Hatfield scored 21.5 points for a routine to Britney Spears’ Toxic. The pair will go head to head with one of the other celebrity couples, next Sunday, in order to stay in the contest. The decision was criticised by viewers - You can read more about that here.
Speaking to Suzanna Reid and Ed Balls on Good Morning Britain, Davide said: “I was in the audience, I watched her live and not because she’s my girlfriend but I believed that she smashed it.
“The fact that she’s in the skate-off, she’s a bit sad. Last night, we had a long talk but she’s a strong woman, very determined and knows what she wants. I think this will now push her to push herself to be better and better week-by-week,” he added.
