Ekin-Su Culculoglu found herself facing more backlash from Dancing On Ice viewers on Sunday after inadvertently showing her butt during the dreaded dance.
The 28-year-old Love Island star returned to court to save himself from former England player John Fashanu, who became the first celebrity to walk out of the series.
However, during the skate, Ekin’s purple dress was slid up during the routine to reveal her hot pink underwear underneath.
Wardrobe malfunction: Ekin-Su Culculoglu faced more backlash from Dancing On Ice viewers on Sunday after inadvertently flashing her butt during the dreaded dance.
Last week, her daring routine for Britney Spears’ Toxic landed her at bottom along with 112 Ofcom complaints.
Before the wardrobe malfunction, Ekin-Su opened up about her troubled debut, telling presenter Holly Willoughby, 41, the uproar left her in tears.
holly said: “I just want to know how you’re doing, it’s a tough week, knowing that you have to face the skate-off tonight.”

Ekin replied: “I’m not going to lie, I’ve been really upset for the last two days and I was literally questioning myself.”
She added, “I’m like you know what, stop crying Ekin, you’re strong, accept what the judges say, work hard and I’m here today.”
The Love Island star recreated a memorable scene from the ITV2 reality show where he crawled across the floor, prompting more than 100 Ofcom complaints from viewers who thought the routine was too risqué for the family-friendly series.

Speaking before the skate-off, she said: “I’m not going to lie, I was really upset thinking what I did wrong, but I’m strong, I need to work hard and prove myself.”
It comes after Dancing On Ice viewers were furious that the first skate-off was ‘unfair’ as last week’s celebs had an extra week to prepare for their performances.
Angrily, fans of the show pointed out that six of the twelve contestants had more time to practice the routine since they are divided into two groups.

One tweeted: ‘Splitting contestants doesn’t work and isn’t fair. Some have an extra week to practice.
“If they just extend the #DancingOnIce opening show and have everyone dance at the first show and then the lowest 2 scores from that, that would be fairer, then you both have a week to practice your skating performance.”
Another wrote: “The first dance format on this is so poor because Ekin-Su has had a solid week to accept it, to practice her routine without having a skating headline show tonight, while John Fashanu has had about 4 minutes ., and I skated tonight. Ridiculous format #DancingOnIce.’

A third wrote: “The first dance format on this is so poor because Ekin-Su has had a solid week to accept it, to practice her routine without having a skating headline show tonight, while John Fashanu has had about 4 minutes, and I skated tonight. Ridiculous format #DancingOnIce.’
A fourth added: “So she’s had a WHOLE WEEK to practice while he… well, speaks for itself #DancingOnIce.”
Another concluded: ‘SO unfair that he had a full week to focus on that one skate. John had to learn 2 skates in one week #dancingonice’.
During this week’s show, Carley Stenson and her professional partner Mark Hanretty topped the standings with the highest score of the series thus far.

After all five celebrities performed during week two, it was revealed that John would face off against Ekin-Su in the skate over, with both pairs performing new routines.
Judges Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean agreed and voted for Ekin-Su to stay in the competition as she included “more technical skating in the routine”.
Asked by presenter Holly Willoughby whether or not he enjoyed the experience, John replied, “Oh, it’s been great”, before saying it was like the FA Cup final all over again.
Co-host Phillip Schofield then asked the former footballer if he would ‘keep skating’, to which he replied: ‘Oh yeah! I’ll keep skating and, who knows, I might even start teaching people.’
Close Call: After all five celebrities performed during week two, it was revealed that John would take on Ekin-Su in the skate off, with both pairs performing new routines.
John and fellow pro Alexandra Schauman earned 19 out of 40 points for their sporting performance.
Speaking about the former footballer’s routine, Chris said: ‘I think you’re the most improved skater since bootcamp. You were a drag in training camp, but you made it, you were stable there.’
Once again, many viewers took to Twitter to express their frustration to ITV over the amount of voting time that was allocated in the second week, noting that they didn’t even get a chance to access the page before voting closed.
Dancing On Ice starts at 6:30pm every Sunday on ITV1 and ITVX.
