Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu in tears after being eliminated from Dancing on Ice

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Brendyn Hatfield have been eliminated from 'Dancing On Ice.'

The 28-year-old reality star - who is known for having won 'Love Island' in 2022 alongside boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti - had been taking part in the ITV skating competition with professional partner Brendyn, 36, but failed to impress the judges when she landed in the skate off against 'EastEnders' actress Patsy Palmer and her professional Matt Evers on Sunday (05.02.23).

After fighting back the tears and having to be comforted by hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, she said: "I've put so much time into this. All the work commitments I had at the time, this was my priority and I really gave everything to it. I love it. I really love it and I fell in love with the ice."

TV star Phillip begged Ekin - who managed to defeat former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton and Łukasz Różycki in the skate off last week - to be "proud" of her achievements on the show and Brendyn echoed his feelings towards the 'Ekin-Su and Davide: Homecomings' star.

He said: "I think everyone who has worked with you, and I know how I am, is proud of what you did!"

Following the skate off - in which Patsy and Matt skated to 'Never Forget You' by the Noisettes and Ekin-Sun and Brendyn completed a routine set to Ariana Grande hit 'No Tears Left To Cry - judges Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill, and Christopher Dean all opted to vote to keep the soap star in the competition, purely based on their performance in the last few minutes of the show.

Matt said: "[Patsy] loves this so much and this was one of her fears to have to do this. That [skate off] was probably the best she has ever skated."
