‘What do they know?’ rant furious Dancing On Ice fans as they call for new judging panel and say star was overscored
DANCING On Ice fans have ranted at the judges asking them, “what do you know?”.
It comes after some viewers have claimed Love Island star Amber Davies was majorly overmarked for her routine last night.
On Sunday night there was no skate off – so that meant that the celebrities only had one chance to impress the judges.
Viewers watching the ITV programme weren’t very happy with some of the scores that the celebrities received. – and even called for a new judging panel.
This came when Amber was awarded a score of 31 – topping the leader board – for her Barbie performance.
Viewers immediately took to X/Twitter to say they thought she had been “overmarked” and slammed the judging panel, with one saying: “Dancing on ice I’ve just made an appointment for the opticians… I think I must have missed something.
“Amber was good… but not that good. There was no solo skating and she got the highest score… how??? why???”
While another commented: “Lou did more skating than every other female celebrity in the show put together.
“I guess her ungainly posture is what they’re looking at. Can’t believe Amber scored 31 for being carted around.”
This one fumed: “can anyone explain how Amber’s getting high scores for just being lifted around? She seems lovely, but…it’s all lifts..”
Another tweeted: “I don’t get the hype with amber, she didn’t do at solo skating, she held on to simon the whole time omg absolutely overscored! I completely disagree with the judges.
“And they need two new judges what do oti and ashley know. They dont have skating experience
Meanwhile fans also slammed the judges for “under-marking” Lou Sanders, while others have put forward that the show is a fix.
One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Wtf is going on with this score for Lou #dancingonice She was better than Claire. She skated on her own more!!”
Another said: “Nah I’m so sorry to be negative but DOI is so blatantly fixed this year. How is Lou marked less than Claire when Lou did half that routine on her own & the best Jane could complement Claire on was a chase. Nothing against Claire but Lou is objectively better.”
“Claire six ! You mean Claire fix !,” a third added.
A fourth tweeted: “Omfg theyve done it again!! Claire will never be able to skate as well as Lou did. The fix is in (to keep the corry viewers?) so I’m out.”
“#DancingOnIce wtaf are the judges on? The show is a fix. I will predict now that Adele will get the highest score of the night. It’s all about popularity and not about their skating efforts. Jokers,” a fifth wrote.
Another tweeted: “Here we go again! I tweeted it last week, and I’ll tweet it again! Claire got carried and scored higher than Lou who gave it a go skating independently AGAIN!! ITV fix it for certain people on EVERY talent show.”
Last night also saw S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt eliminated from the competition.
Hannah replied: “It’s sad to see anyone go.”
Holly added: “You did such a beautiful performance in front of your girls and family,” to which Hannah said: “It was nice to finish on Elsa.
“Everyone has been fantastic and to be partnered with Andy has been an absolute joy. Thank you for the journey.”
