Her appearance is a stark contrast to two weeks ago when she stunned Dancing On Ice viewers in a diamond-encrusted nude body stocking she wore to dance to Britney Spears’ hit song, Toxic.
As part of her routine, Ekin-Su was seen dragging herself across the ice alongside her dance partner Brendyn Hatfield, prompting 112 complaints to television regulator Ofcom, who insisted the catsuit was “too sexy” to wear. before the watershed in a family program. The organization has not yet decided whether it will investigate.
Her performance on the show, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, also led to the star being ‘shamed’ on social media.
Ekin-Su said, “Whoever you see performing, whether they’re playing Britney Spears or Maria from The Sound of Music, I’ll be that person.”
Actress Ekin-Su said after the routine: ‘You know what? If you have them, flaunt them. I mean, if you have a nice butt and you look sexy in a jumpsuit, why not? Who cares?’

Speaking before the show started, the model said she was ready for criticism from the judges.
She said: ‘Not everyone is going to say I’m great. If they say I need to do better, that would make me work harder.
‘I’d rather receive criticism than get a ten out of ten every week. Do I want to be criticized? I’m ready for that.’
