DANCING on Ice star EkinSu Cülcüloglu has vowed to stay sexy to empower other women.
The Love Island winner sparked a storm of protest last month after she took to the ice in a daring costume that looked like a high-cut bikini.
Ekin-Su was trolled over the Britney Spears-inspired outfit - but she refuses to apologise for her debut routine on the ITV skating show.
The 28-year-old said: "I feel like every woman should feel sexy.
"It doesn't matter who you are, what your age is or how you look.
"It's not about cleavage, legs and bums, it's about the knowledge you have, the way you carry yourself, the way you speak to people... it's knowing who you are and embracing it. That is sexy.
