LOVE Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has broken her silence on the Dancing On Ice ‘curse’ after being paired up with hunky pro skater.
The reality TV queen, 28, has become the highest-paid Love Island star in the skating show‘s history.
Ekin-Su has shut down rumours of a ‘Dancing On Ice’ curse
Ekin-Su is sure she and Davide will survive the show
Ekin-Su and Davide have become household names after winning Love Island last summer.
The Turkish soap star told how she was convinced nothing will rock the nation’s favourite couple when she goes on the show.
Proving her point, Ekin Tweeted: “If I hear one more thing about this dancing on ice curse I will laugh very hard.
“Dear oh me… well at least my man fully supports me.”
Fans flocked to comment and were totally in support of the star.
One said: “Honestly there’s no #DancingOnIce Curse it’s more of a
@bbcstrictly thing.
“Can’t wait to see you on the ice in the New Year.”
Another cheered: “Tell them Ekin!! Anyways you will smash it Ekin.”
Meanwhile HOAR exclusively revealed Ekin-Su netted an incredible six-figure payday to sign onto Dancing on Ice.
This towers above any fee paid to previous contestants from the ITV2 series who have taken part in the Sunday night competition.
A TV insider says: “Bosses were desperate to sign Ekin-Su, so they paid her £100,000 to sign on the dotted line.
“As a comparison, Love Island stars would normally command something in the region of £30-50k for the show, so this is a huge deal for Ekin-Su.”
” Producers felt she was well worth every penny though – she is one of the most popular winners in Love Island history, winning with a landslide of votes, she’s got a great personality and she’s stunning to boot so they’re confident her cheque will be reflected in the ratings.”
Previous Love Island contestants who have taken to the ice include Kem Cetinay, Wes Nelson, Maura Higgins and Liberty Poole.
Our source continued: “Other than Kem, the other villa stars who signed up were not winners so they couldn’t command as high a fee, and while Kem was a big signing, he didn’t come close to landing Ekin’s huge salary.
“It’s testament to how popular and in demand Ekin is that she has managed to do so well for herself.”
