Dancing On Ice‘s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is said to be ditching her raunchy outfit from last week’s show for a more conservative number after being hit with Ofcom complaints.
On top of landing in the skate off following her debut performance, the Love Island winner, 28, also came under fire after 112 viewers complained to the television watchdog about her racy full fabric jumpsuit.
The costume in question had been designed by the wardrobe team to replicate the one Britney Spears wore in her iconic Toxic video, given that Ekin-Su was performing to the very same song.
However, it’s now been claimed that Ekin-Su will wear an outfit with a longer skirt and sleeves so viewers can focus on her routine.
A source said: ‘Ekin is a strong character and is coming back fighting. She has a lot more to give on the series and has been practising hard.

‘Being in the bottom two is always tough, but she is hoping to survive another week.’

The insider added to The Sun: ‘She’s proud of her curves, but is happy to wear a more covered-up costume so fans are less distracted and can focus on her skating.’
Ekin-Su went all out for her inaugural routine and even recreated her iconic crawling scene from her time in the Love Island villa on the ice.

Naturally, Ekin-Su’s number was full of sass, and she completed it all while dressed in a sparkly silver jumpsuit.
Unfortunately, though, her performance wasn’t a hit with viewers at home despite scoring an admiral 21.5 points from the judges, and she will skate again next week in a bid to save herself from elimination after landing in the bottom.
