Oti Mabuse tells Ekin-Su to ‘be sexy’ after fierce Dancing on Ice backlash

JUDGE Oti Mabuse told Ekin-Su Culculoglu to still "be sexy" after the star covered up on last night's Dancing on Ice following complaints about her raunchy outfits.

The Love Island winner, 28, transformed into singing nun Maria von Trapp from the 1965 musical The Sound of Music.

Ekin-Su’s first dance in week one was shrouded in controversy after her see-through catsuit prompted 112 complaints to Ofcom.

Last night she did a complete U-turn as she channelled Julie Andrews' wholesome character.

Former Strictly legend Oti said: "I want you to remember to stay true to yourself. You're such a beautiful young girl. It's not a bad thing to be sexy."

She added: "Remember that. It's not a bad thing to be sexy. It is the power that we as women have.

"You should be really proud of yourself. When you started on the rock I was like, 'Look at her'. Keep pushing yourself."

Ekin-Su’s first dance of the series led to a huge number of complaints to Ofcom as fans noted her catsuit was “too sexy” to be worn before the watershed.

One viewer wrote: “Totally inappropriate outfit. It's a family show.”

Someone else said: "That's a post-watershed outfit."

While a third added: “I’m no prude but I was panicking we were going to see what she had for breakfast there with that outfit.”

Her fans were quick to rush to Ekin’s defence, with one adding: "What did you want her to wear? A Sunday dress?”

The one-piece was intended to be a copy of that worn by Britney Spears in the music video for Toxic - the song that Ekin-Su danced to.
