LOVE Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has "massive confidence issues" after landing in the first Dancing On Ice skate-off, a body language expert has claimed.
The actress and reality star found herself the first celebrity to land in the bottom two last week, having to perform again on Sunday night's show to save her spot.
While she may have been saved by the judges, sending John Fashanu home, body language expert Darren Stanton reckons there were tell-tale signs she was shaken by the dip in popularity.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair, Darren said: "Ekin-Su made a number of mistakes during the skate off. She looked very nervous and didn’t come across as self-assured compared to last week.
"I think she is definitely dealing with massive confidence issues. She said to Holly she felt fantastic, however she flashed numerous signals of nervousness and fear. She was definitely not being truthful in how she truly felt."
"Despite her apparent nerves, Ekin-Su made it through to next week," he continued. "However I can’t imagine she will go far in the competition due to her confidence and rapport issues.
"I also don’t think Ekin-Su has developed a great connection with her partner Brendyn [Hatfield]. Hopefully, the pair can work on their relationship, which could potentially help with her confidence.”
Dancing On Ice continues Sunday on ITV.
