Ekin-Su Culculoglu is looking forward to to showing Davide Sanclimenti her "sexy" 'Dancing on Ice' outfits.
The ‘Love Island’ star is excited to to see how her 27-year-old boyfriend - who she won the ITV2 dating competition with earlier this summer - reacts to her skimpy skating looks on the ITV ice-skating show next year, but admits he hasn't realised she will have a male partner on the programme.
The 28-year-old reality television personality told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “Davide has no idea what is coming! He is like, ‘Oh 'Dancing on Ice'! Baby I love you, congratulations!’
“But he has never seen it … all these sexy outfits and I am going to have a male partner! We will see how he reacts but it’s good. The fact that he doesn’t know makes me excited.”
Ekin-Su isn’t bothered about the so-called reality show curse - coined after several 'Strictly' and 'Dancing on Ice' contestants ended up in relationships with their professional partners - because she needs to be “busy” to keep her love with Davide alight.
She said: "The relationships which have failed are because they had no trust. No foundation. I like being busy.
“If I had nothing to do I would guarantee we would break up. The fact that I have got hobbies and distractions makes me more confident in myself because if it doesn’t work out with Davide I’ve got my stuff going on anyway."
Ekin-Su is excited to “tone up” in training before she hits the rink and be judged by Oti Mabuse, Ashley Banjo, and ice skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean,
She said: “The one thing that happens when you ice skate is it tones your a*** because you are always lifting your leg and the skates are very heavy.
"I will definitely work out a bit more so I will be in shape for the ice."
Ekin-Su - who will compete alongside reality TV star Joey Essex, Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton, ex ‘EastEnders’ actress Patsy Palmer, and former footballer John Fashanu, among others - has victory on her mind, admitting she is “ready” to win at any cost.
She said: “I am ready to break my head, I am ready to fall over! Honestly I don’t care! It is impossible to skate without falling - you are on ice!
“I’m not being funny, that is the whole process of it. I like to fall over and laugh and then carry on. As long as I get back up and I smash it - I don’t care!”
