Meanwhile The Sun exclusively revealed Ekin-Su netted an incredible six-figure payday to sign onto Dancing on Ice.
This towers above any fee paid to previous contestants from the ITV2 series who have taken part in the Sunday night competition.
A TV insider says: “Bosses were desperate to sign Ekin-Su, so they paid her £100,000 to sign on the dotted line.
“As a comparison, Love Island stars would normally command something in the region of £30-50k for the show, so this is a huge deal for Ekin-Su.”

” Producers felt she was well worth every penny though – she is one of the most popular winners in Love Island history, winning with a landslide of votes, she’s got a great personality and she’s stunning to boot so they’re confident her cheque will be reflected in the ratings.”
Previous Love Island contestants who have taken to the ice include Kem Cetinay, Wes Nelson, Maura Higgins and Liberty Poole.
Our source continued: “Other than Kem, the other villa stars who signed up were not winners so they couldn’t command as high a fee, and while Kem was a big signing, he didn’t come close to landing Ekin’s huge salary.
“It’s testament to how popular and in demand Ekin is that she has managed to do so well for herself.”
