The Love Island star also claimed that one of her strengths is being “very competitive.”

The reality star, who is paired with Brendyn Hatfield, said: ‘I’m very competitive. so if I have to rehearse for two hours, then I’ll be there for four, I’ll aim for the sky!
‘My strengths would be that I am competitive, passionate and I learn the movement quickly. My weaknesses would be thinking too much and becoming impatient. If I can’t do something, I’ll try and try until I can do it.’
When asked if this is one of the scariest things she’s ever done, Ekin-Su replied, “I’ve never been scared in my life, I’ve never been nervous in my life, I’ve always been confident.” I think the only time he would be nervous would be in the final. I know that I am going to fall and hurt myself because in life you fall and hurt yourself. I’m ready.
When asked if she’s in it to win it, Ekin-Su said, “Yes I am, otherwise I won’t.” I don’t mind going home early, but my mind doesn’t work like that. If I’m doing it, I’m putting in 100 percent. I’m going to believe in myself, I believe in myself a lot.
Dancing On Ice returns Sunday January 15 at 6:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
