A routine performed by Love Island winner Ekin Su on ITV's Dancing on Ice was branded 'inappropriate' for a family show as this weekend's episode was threatened with Ofcom complaints. Holly Willoughby described the routine as the 'sexiest ever' as the reality star donned a skimpy sequined thong leotard.
Su re-enacted her 'crawling moment' from Love Island for the dance, which was given a mix of 5s and 6s and met with boos from the audience, Yorkshire Live reports. Many viewers and Twitter commenters described the outfit as being 'inappropriate' for a show starting at 7pm.

@shefacedus said: "Ekin-Su didn't skate independently for a single moment and kept pausing to blow kisses to audience and gets 5s and 6s? What a joke this competition is #dancingonice"
