Love Island's Ekin-Su confuses fans with sweet family photo after surviving Dancing on Ice elimination

Fans of Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu all made the same comment as the reality star shared a sweet photo of her family days after surviving the first Dancing on Ice elimination.

The ice skating show contestant, 28, shared a collection of photos with her 3.2 million Instagram followers alongside the caption: "Photodump of my recent days". The pictures include her holding hands with boyfriend and fellow Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti, from Manchester, on the set of Dancing On Ice, as well as a selfie in a lift and a shot of her working out in the gym.

But it was the very last photo that got fans talking. Rounding off the collection, Ekin-Su shared a family picture of herself, her parents, her brother and Davide all involved.

Ekin-Su has been back on our screens recently, taking part in the 15th series of Dancing On Ice with professional dance partner and skater Brendyn Hatfield. On Sunday night, the star battled it out in a skate-off with John Fashanu and his pro partner Alexandra Schauman.

Ekin-Su skated in a plum-coloured flouncy dress to the Ariana Grande song no Tears Left to Cry, and the judges decided unanimously to save her. It came after her first dance of the series sparked 112 Ofcom complaints over her outfit after she recreated her famous Love Island terrace crawl during a racy routine to the Britney Spears’ hit Toxic.

The Turkish actress from Essex won over viewers on the reality show Love Island over the summer with her fiery relationship with Italian business owner Davide. The couple ended up winning the show and are still together.

Since leaving the villa they have featured in travel spin-off programme Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings, which saw them return to their home countries Turkey and Italy. Originally from Islington, Ekin-Su studied performing arts at the University of Central Lancashire and graduated in 2015. She later moved to Istanbul and had roles in Turkish TV soap operas - including Kuzey Yıldızı İlk Aşk - before her arrival on Love Island.
