ED! has contacted reps for Dancing On Ice for comment.
Back in November last year, Ekin-Su spoke about an injury she endured during training for the show.
Doctors have told me to rest hopefully I can recover very quickly ready for Sunday.
She explained on Good Morning Britain: “It’s gone now but there was a bruise. I’ve lost a toe [nail], but anyway!
“It’s fine. It went backwards, but it’s great. That is gonna explain how my training is going.”
Last week, Ekin-Su gushed over Dancing On Ice and teased fans about her upcoming routine.
She said: “Not long now ‘til show day. I can’t wait for you all to see what I’ve been working on!
“So grateful for this opportunity and lucky to be working with such talented people.”
Fans were excited about Ekin-Su getting on the ice as one gushed: “Best of luck, can’t wait.”
