Dancing on Ice viewers call the show "an obvious FIX"
Stephanie Waring was the latest celebrity to be voted off Dancing on Ice last night (January 21).
The Hollyoaks actress and her professional partner Sylvain Longchambon lost out to singer Lemar and his partner Melody Le Moal in the skate-off, despite the '50/50' singer taking a tumble in his deciding dance.
Is dancing on ice some kind of fix?
How is Lemar still in it?!- Alice (@alicetughan) January 21, 2018
As some viewers accused the reality show of being "an obvious fix", appearing on Lorraine this morning (January 22), Stephanie admitted she "thought the dance off was just based on that skate" and was "confused" that she was the one to go home.
An obvious FIX - Lemar cocks up his skate off and stays in ??

Speaking to Lorraine Kelly, she said: "I've had an incredible reaction from fans and Twitter, a bit of outrage. I love Lemar and he's one of my closest friends, and to be in the skate-off with him was hard. I didn't want to be in that situation."

She continued: "I thought the dance-off was just based on that skate. I wanted the opportunity to improve, so did Lemar. I was like, 'We can't make a mistake as it all rests on this one skate'. I was confused, there was a trip, and yet I'm the one to go home! It's a lot of hard work down the toilet."
It comes after viewers took to Twitter to hit out at the decision, with one person saying: "How the hell has Lemar stayed .. he fell over in the skate off," while someone else said: "Lemar doing the same routine for his save me dance isn't fair as he's already done it."
