Another added: ‘I just had to watch that back 5 times!’ 

‘After that explanation it’s difficult to take Chris seriously now,’ a third said. 

The hit skating show which returned to screens for another year on Sunday saw Joey Essex kick off the show with his dance partner Vanessa Bauer.

Despite the glitz and glamour, it was a tough start to the series for fan favourite Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, who landed herself in the bottom two by receiving the least amount of public votes – and couldn’t contain her furious face.

But it was the ITV show that viewers weren’t happy with, after they were given just five minutes to cast their votes before it closed – with many taking to Twitter to complain over the rules as they blasted that you ‘don’t even get time to pick up the phone’.

After the first six celebrities performed, it was time to find out who would be dancing again next week in the bottom two – and was at risk of being sent home.

And it was bad news for Ekin-Su, who looked gobsmacked at the news as she turned to talk with her dance partner Brendyn Hatfield, while her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti was equally as unhappy while he watched from the audience.

The Love Island star admitted that she was ‘sad’ with the news, as presenters Phillip and Holly Willoughby questioned her after the result and attempted to reassure her. 

‘What a start to Dancing On Ice’: Fans were quick to take to Twitter to joke about the funny moment, one wrote: ‘Is Chris a bit hot under the collar tonight?’

‘I’m just sad, but, you know. I’ve been really ill as well and I know it’s not an excuse but I’ve just got back up, and yeah,’ said Ekin-Su.

And the reality star’s shocked reaction didn’t go unnoticed – as many viewers called out the star on her furious face after learning her fate.

‘Her face spoke a thousand words,’ wrote one viewer. While another said: ‘I know Ekin-Su deserved to go through but the reaction from her realising she was in the dance off was hilarious’.

Many viewers also took to Twitter to express their frustration to ITV at the amount of voting time that was allocated – noting that they didn’t even get a chance to get to the page before the vote closed.

Oh no! The first episode of the series was a tough one for Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, who landed herself in the bottom two by receiving the least amount of public votes – and she couldn’t contain her furious face
