Fans claim The Vamps singer should have made the final of the ITV competition instead of Kimberly Wyatt, Brendan Cole and Regan Gascoigne – who all have dance experience.

Connor, 26, was voted off by the judges – Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill, and Christopher Dean – after he faced off against the Pussycat Doll.

Olympic BMX racer Kye Whyte, 22, also left the competition in a brutal double dumping.

This means the final will see Kimberly, 40, former Strictly Come Dancing professional Brendan, 45, and Regan, 26, – who has trained as a dancer at performing arts school – battle it out for the top prize.

But fans of the programme were less than impressed by the line-up for the final, which takes place in two weeks.

Rushing to Twitter to comment, one viewer raged: “DancingOnIce it’s a fix. pretty unfair how all top three have some background in dance???? not a fair competition for the others.

“Kai and Connor should’ve been in the final as they are ones without a dancing background.”

Another remarked: “Ugh so the 3 pro dancers reach the final, what a surprise so unfair on Connor and Kye.

“They need to stop getting dancers on, it’s stupid. #DancingOnIce”.”

A third commented: “Both boys were incredible and smashed that skate off but was a tad unfair as Kimberly is a professional dancer and let’s face it her lines and elegance are second to none.”

Before adding: “It’s gonna be an incredible final with these three superstars #DancingOnIce”.

While another fan suggested: “A petition should be made for next series of #DancingOnIce to either involve all professional dancers or none.

“Mixing the both makes it unfair in my opinion.”

Sunday saw Phillip Schofield presenting the show solo for the first time as Holly Willoughby was forced to miss the semi-final due to Covid.
