Dancing On Ice’s Ekin-Su Culculoglu broke down in tears on Sunday night after becoming the third star to be eliminated from the competition.
The Love Island star, 28, couldn’t stop the tears from falling after facing Patsy Palmer in the skate-off – which host Phillip Schofield dubbed ‘the most emotional vote we’ve ever had’.
Her exit comes despite Ekin-Su setting out to wow the audience as she drafted in her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti for a guest appearance during her disco-themed routine.
The beauty also received a passionate kiss from her hunky, topless beau at the end of her routine, with viewers very appreciative of Davide’s cameo with one remarking: ‘He gets my vote!’
After landing in the skate-off in her first week, Ekin-Su was determined to avoid a similar fate this week as she gave her all while skating to Car Wash by Dance X Winners.
The actress donned a fringed pink top and coordinating shorts, with her curly brunette locks swept up into an up ‘do.
Hot stuff: Ekin-Su Culculoglu certainly set out to wow the audience on Sunday night as she drafted in her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti for a guest appearance during her disco-themed routine
And while Ekin-Su tried her best to perfect her steps on the ice, it was the end of her routine that really wowed fans at home.
As the dance finished, Ekin skated over to a hunky Davide – who some people didn’t initially notice – and planted a passionate kiss on him, with the businessman even hoisting up her leg as they embraced.
Taking to Twitter, fans were quick to comment on the surprise twist at the end, with one remarking: ‘Davide gets my vote.’
A second excited fan gushed: ‘Davide is one sexy snack of a man.’
‘Right Ekin-Su was rubbish. No solo dancing but 10 for Davide being topless’, penned a third.
With another adding: ‘Davide featuring in Ekin-Su’s routine almost thought we were watching #loveisland there for a second and not #dancingonice.’
Following her performance – which earned the lowest score of the night with 23 points – Ekin-Su revealed that she had an injury which meant the routine had to be changed.
Meanwhile, Carly Stenson certainly set the bar high as she scored an impressive 32.5 with her Samba-inspired routine.
The former Hollyoaks actress, 40, took to the floor alongside Mark Hanretty, with the star hoping to impress with her Salsa – especially since her former Strictly star husband Danny Mac bagged the perfect score alongside his partner Oti Mabuse.

Kicking off her routine to Conga by Gloria Estefan, Carly showed off her Salsa moves before hitting the ice with Mark.
The TV and West End star looked fabulous in a pink, ruffled mini dress and matching flowers in her hair as she move this way and that to the iconic song.
Ahead of her performance, Carly received some tips from her fellow Hollyoaks star husband Danny, who came runner-up on Strictly, with then dance partner Oti.
And it looks like his words and her hard work paid off as the impressed judges scored her a great 32.5 points out of 40 – her highest score so far.

Meanwhile, the celebrities are under extra pressure this week as the dreaded dance-off returns after an absence last week, which resulted in Michelle Heaton‘s exit from the show.
It comes after Ekin-Su Culculoglu has sent out a defiant message to her after viewers complained to Ofcom about her recent performance on the show.
The reality star, 28, and her professional skating partner Brendyn Hatfield, 36, gave a nod to the moment she crawled across the floor in the Love Island villa last summer to steal a kiss with Jay Younger behind her now-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti‘s back.
Actress Ekin-Su was seen wearing a sequinned catsuit while performing a steamy jive on the ITV figure skating last month as she performed to Britney Spears‘ song Toxic but the display was too much for some viewers, prompting 112 complaints to TV regulator Ofom.

The television personality said the kick-back from show fans knocked her confidence but, after a prim and proper performance last week as The Sound of Music’s Maria von Trapp, Ekin-Su is determined not to let any negative feedback get her down, insisting she is simply going to be herself.
She told the Sunday People: ‘I’m not going to just back off anymore, I’m going to be confident again.
