ITV Dancing on Ice fans distracted as Ekin-Su survives skate-off and sends message amid 'unfair' claim

Ekin-Su Culculoglu has sent a message after she survived the first skat-off of Dancing on Ice 2023. The Love Island winner discovered she'd be performing again in a bid to keep her place in the competition after her debut performance last weekend.

Only six of the eleven celebrities signed up for the ITV skating show's latest series performed during the opening weekend with the remaining five joining their professional skating partners on the ice on Sunday night (January 22). RuPaul’s Drag Race star The Vivienne, kicked off week two and made history by becoming the first drag queen to compete on Dancing on Ice.

The 30-year-old channelled their diva icon as they and their dance partner Colin Grafton delivered an energetic performance to Strong Enough by Cher. However, it was former Hollyoaks star Carley Stenson who topped the leaderboard during the episode with a score of 32 alongside her partner Mark Hanretty.
