Love Island's Davide falls flat on his back in nasty roller skating accident

Davide Sanclimenti suffered a painful accident by landing on his back while roller skating.

The Love Island winner, 28, fell flat on the floor while showing off his skills on the rink - but it seems the Italian hunk got a bit too risky with his moves as he ended up falling on his back.

The reality TV star, who championed the ITV2 dating show this summer alongside his girlfriend, Ekin-Su, smashed to the floor while rollerskating and although the nasty fall looked incredibly painful, thankfully, Davide was able to see the funny side to his misfortune.

Davide posted the clip on his Instagram feed as he poked fun at his skating skills, ahead of Ekin-Su's Dancing On Ice venture next year.

"Wait for it", he captioned the post alongside a string of laughing emojis.

In the video, staff at the skating rink rush to check on Davide as he lays on the floor after his nasty fall.

However, moments later, he jumps back up to his feet and continues showing off his skills.

While Davide may not be a natural when it comes to roller-skating, his girlfriend Ekin-Su is hoping that her ice staking skills nab her the winners title on Dancing On Ice next year.

The brunette beauty, who has been seen training with her Dancing on Ice skating partner Brendyn Hatfield, has continued to laugh off the show's dreaded 'curse'.

Some fans have grown concerned if Ekin-Su and Davide's love could stand the test of time after the Turkish actress signed up for the upcoming series of the ITV competition.

However, Ekin-Su has continued to rise above the concerns as she recently posted a video of herself and Brendyn, 36, on the ice together.

The video, posted to the former Islander's Instagram story, shows Brendyn counting the pair in before the gracefully glide along the ice.

Skating professional Brendyn is stood behind Ekin-Su and holds her hand and places his other hand on her waist to support the reality star as they skate along together.

As Ekin-Su shared the video on her Instagram story, she added Ed Sheeran's son Thinking Out Loud on top and wrote: "Warm ups" before tagging Brendyn in the post.

The clip shows Ekin's skating skills are coming along nicely as she appears confident while gliding along the ice in a purple pair of leggings and matching top.

Ekin-Su also brushed off any curse concerns as she tweeted: "If I hear one more thing about this dancing on ice curse I will laugh very hard. Dear oh me… well at least my man fully supports me".

She added in a later tweet: "Oooo I’m so scared the curse oooooo… bahahahaahaha…oh I love it me and Davide are laughing at the comments".
