Dancing on Ice 2023 LATEST — Fans are all saying the same thing as Ekin-Su scores 23 & Michelle Heaton is voted off show
EKIN-SU Culculoglu returned to Dancing on Ice on Sunday night - and was determined to impress the judges.
The Love Island winner ditched her sexy costumes after watchdog Ofcom received 112 complaints over her see-through catsuit - and returned as Maria Von Trapp from the 1965 musical The Sound of Music.
The outfit for yesterday's contest echoed that worn by Julie Andrews in the movie - but the reality TV star scored just 23.
Fans took to with one saying: "Ekin Su!! Oh babe!! The less time she’s on the ice the better. Interesting to see how much Roland has her in holds and lifts", while another chimed "I've nothing against Ekin-Su, but the poor lass just can't skate".
However, it was enough to save the Love Island siren from the chop, as pop star was booted out of the competition after the public vote.

Dancing On Ice chaos after Holly Willoughby is evacuated from rehearsals in her hair rollers
Dancing on Ice host Holly Willoughby found herself leaving reversals with her hair rollers still in last week, after the entire cast of the ITV show was forced to evacuate due to a fire scare.
Speaking exclusively to the Sun, the show's creative director Dan Whiston explained: "Last weekend, the entire Dancing on Ice cast, production and crew had to evacuate the studio after a fire alarm went off.
"Many of the celebrities, including Holly, had to brave the cold weather outside whilst safety checks were carried out.
"The alarm sounded, and everyone sped outside into the car park. We were show mid-preparation when it happened, so quite a few of us weren’t even fully dressed, and Holly still had her hair rollers in.
"Luckily it turned out to be a false alarm triggered by some curling tongs… but you could say it was a bit of a hairy situation for a while."
A final word of thanks from Michelle
Dancing on Ice has shared a sweet clip of Michelle and Lukasz following their exit from the show last night.

She starred on the ITV show between 2018 and 2020.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Alex said: “The ones that want to go far… you’ll know from the beginning.

Look back at the funniest moments
EastEnders actor Todd Carty had an unforgettable stint during the fourth series in 2009.
His first two routines failed to impress the judges, but it was during week 3 when he lost total control.
The former Grange Hill star stumbled and then, in a panic, completely slid out of vision away from the cameras into the backstage area.
This meant his professional partner, Susie Lipanova, was left to finish the routine alone on the ice.
Eventually, the actor made it back into the rink for the final pose as the dance was just coming to an end as he left the judges, studio audience, and viewers at home in absolute hysterics.
Dancing On Ice star rushed to hospital after smashing their face on the ice

The ITV show's creative director Dan Whiston revealed he witnessed the accident that happened off air.
Dan told The Sun: "We’ve had lots of falls this week, with pro-skater Sylvain rushed to hospital after hitting his chin on the ice during rehearsals.
"He had his chin glued and luckily was back on the ice with Mollie Gallagher who put on a solid performance."

She told the Renew podcast: “I’m a good person, I’m kind and loving and love to make people feel good about themselves, but addiction stopped all that.
“It stopped me being who I am, but I couldn’t see it. There was this new version of me.
“Because I was this person, and people didn’t want to hang around with me, and I didn’t know why, obviously it was because I was a car crash, I would manipulate situations so I could get friends to hang out with me.
“I didn’t have an alcohol or drug problem in the celebrity era. My issues came later on in life.”
