Ekin-Su Culculoglu will dress as Maria von Trapp on Sunday’s Dancing On Ice after a risque see-through catsuit prompted more than 100 Ofcom complaints in the opening show a fortnight ago.
The Love Island winner, 28, will cover up as the character from the 1965 classic film The Sound of Music as she attempts to stay in the competition.
Ekin-Su will wear a blouse that comes up to her neck, with a bodice over the top which will ensure that little skin is seen.
Modest: Ekin-Su Culculoglu will dress as Maria von Trapp on Sunday’s Dancing On Ice after a risque see-through catsuit prompted more than 100 Ofcom complaints
It isn’t known whether she is teaming it with a short or long skirt but she will also hide her long brunette hair with a wig so she can emulate the movie nun’s blonde crop for her performance to the movie’s Do-Re-Mi as part of the musicals-themed show.
The Turkish beauty, who is dating fellow Love Island star Davide Sanclimenti, said of Sunday night’s outfit and routine: ‘Whoever you see in the performance, whether I’m playing Britney Spears or Maria from The Sound of Music, I will be that person.
‘With Britney, I was having fun with it, I couldn’t have performed it better in my opinion. I don’t regret it.
‘This time I’ll be playing a character from The Sound of Music and I’ll be how she is supposed to be.

‘People forget I’m an actress. If I was asked to play Henry VIII on ice, I’d do it.’
Her look is a stark contrast to two weeks ago when she left Dancing On Ice viewers stunned with a diamond-encrusted, nude body stocking which she wore to dance to Britney Spears hit song, Toxic.
As part of her routine, Ekin-Su was seen crawling along the ice alongside her dance partner Brendyn Hatfield which led to 112 compaints to television regulator Ofcom who insisted the catsuit was ‘too sexy’ to be worn before the watershed on a family show. The organisation has not yet decided whether they will investigate.
Her performance on the show – hosted by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield – also led to the star being ‘slut-shamed’ on social media.

Actress Ekin-Su said after the routine: ‘You know what? If you have ’em flaunt them. I mean if you’ve got a nice bum and you look sexy in a unitard, why not. Who cares?’
But the outfit was not enough to save Ekin-Su from the skate-off after she got the fewest public votes but last Sunday she beat former footballer John Fashanu to stay in the competition.
Speaking before the show began, the model said she was ready for judges’ criticism.
She said: ‘They’re not all going to say that I’m great. If they say that I need to do better, that would make me work harder.
‘I would rather receive criticism than get a ten out of ten each week. I want them to criticise me ? I’m ready for that.’
