Inside Ekin-Su and Davide’s luxury trip to the Maldives to celebrate his birthday
DANCING On Ice star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti have jetted to the Maldives for a luxury holiday after she was booted off the show.
The Turkish beauty, 28, and the Italian hunk have been living their best life as they enjoy a sunkissed getaway to a private island.
The loved-up pair took a helicopter and a boat to a beachy resort, which boasted their own outdoor swimming pool overlooking a stunning ocean backdrop.
The couple are treating themselves to some well-deserved quality time together and are having late birthday celebrations for Davide, who turned 28 last month.
He shared a compilation clip of their activities so far, including snorkelling and swimming in the blue waters.
Ekin-Su looked sensational as she posed in an electric blue swimsuit.
She wore her hair in a high ponytail and opted for minimal make-up as she enjoyed a slap-up alfresco breakfast.
The reality star was then seen lapping up the sunshine in a black lace-up swimsuit and a pair of white crochet shorts and sunglasses.
She showed off her golden tan as she relaxed on a sun lounger.
Davide captioned the video: “Less than 24 hours and I already decided I don’t wanna come back. I’m in heaven.”
It comes after Davide made a surprise appearance on Sunday during Ekin-Su’s routine to Car Wash by Dance X Winners.
Davide, 27, played a topless carwash worker at the end of the Disco routine and made the audience cheer by stealing a cheeky kiss off Ekin-Su.
But his crowd-pleasing appearance was far from spontaneous, with Dancing On Ice’s creative director Dan Whiston telling The Sun: “I felt like I was presenting Surprise Surprise on ice during Ekin-Su’s car wash disco routine!
“We’d secretly arranged for Davide to appear at the end and give Ekin-Su a big kiss.
“Ekin-Su certainly needed some TLC after her routine, as she injured her leg just before the show.
“I pulled Davide for a chat whilst setting the number, and he told me he’d love to take part in Dancing on Ice next year…. so watch this space!”
Unfortunately for Ekin, the judges were ultimately unimpressed with her skate, giving a score of 23 out of 40.
Oti Mabuse said: “I like to see you when you like yourself skating. Going forward, try not to depend on him – skate on your own.”
Ashley Banjo said: “I think your confidence did take a knock because of the injury, that I wasn’t aware of.”
Shortly after, she was called back for the dreaded skate-off and was up against EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer.
It was a clean sweep with all judges decided to save Patsy – leaving Ekin-Su in tears.
