Ekin-Su practices Dancing On Ice moves in bizarre place and warns fans not to copy her

LOVE ISLAND star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is putting her best foot forward for Dancing On Ice – seeking practice in some bizarre places.

The 2022 winner of the ITV2 dating show has been confirmed to be taking part in next year's Dancing On Ice competition, and has taken to some unique measures to make sure she's fully prepared.

In a video on Instagram Stories, Ekin-Su shared a video of herself at the gym running on a treadmill, before attempting a number of tricks as she puts up the speed of the machine.

Holding onto the sides, she seems to be getting ready to learn lifts as she repeatedly throws her legs back in the air while the treadmill is still moving.

She appears to be recreating what it would feel like being lifted while skating at several miles an hour on the ice.

After, she beams to the camera as she stands to the sides to give herself some respite from the fast-moving mill.

While she's definitely getting the technique down, Ekin-Su warned her followers: "Guys don't practice Dancing On Ice stuff on the treadmill!"

We think we'll stick to solid ground for now, Ekin-Su!

The actress and reality star was one of the first names confirmed for this year's series, with the full line-up being announced in early October.

Joining her is The Wanted's Siva Kaneswaran, actress and DJ Patsy Palmer, Hollyoaks' Carley Stenson, Joey Essex and RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner, The Vivienne.

Joey has already vowed to win the series and has also taken up an exercise regime to make sure he's ready.

Corrie's Mollie Gallagher, Olympian Nile Wilson, football legend John Fashanu, stand-up comic Darren Harriot and Liberty X's Michelle Heaton complete the line-up.

The series is set to commence in January 2023, and will again be hosted by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

Dancing On Ice returns in January 2023 on ITV.
