DANCING On Ice fans have claimed that the judges “saved their favourite” during Sunday night’s semi-final.
It was Olympic medallist Kye Whyte and Paralympian Stef Reid who ended up in the skate-off.
Judges Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse and Christopher Dean decided to send Stef, 37, home.
Many viewers were left fuming with their decision and think that it was because they wanted their “favourites” through to the last stage of the competition.
It meant that Pussycat Doll’s Kimberly Wyatt, The Vamps star Connor Ball, Strictly’s Brendan Cole, Son of legendary footballer Paul Gascoigne Regan Gascoigne and Kye are still in with a chance of winning the ITV show.
Many took to Twitter to share their anger.
One wrote on Twitter: “#dancingonice well that’s the three judges favourites are through.”
Another said: “Judges kinda being way too easy giving out 10’s this week. Brendan, Kimberley & Regan? Clearly tryna make sure their absolute fav’s don’t miss out on a place in next week’s Semi Final #DancingOnIce 
.”
“just like kimberly, reagan always gets favouritism from the judges,” a third added.
A fourth chimed in: “Apart from Connor and Stef tonight, i have been really bored tonight. It just the same favouritism and overmarking from the judges to be honest. #dancingonice.”
Others viewers of the ITV show saying that the show is a fix because “wrong star was thrown off the show”.
They thought it was unfair as Stef has been struggling with a horror injury after her death-defying headbanger move.
It was hoped she’d be the first disabled star to win Dancing on Ice after impressing viewers.
Another added: “Very unfair for Stef, thought she be the first disabled person to ever win #DancingOnIce. Total fix from the #JudgingPanel.”

Someone else said: “I’m so sorry, that result was a fix.”
One angry viewer said: “#dancingonice what a flipping fix. No way should Stef been voted off. I thought she was amazing.”
Another added: “Very unfair for Stef, thought she be the first disabled person to ever win #DancingOnIce. Total fix from the #JudgingPanel.”
Someone else said: “I’m so sorry, that result was a fix.”
Against the odds, injury-prone Connor Ball made it to the semi-finals – after he managed to stay on his feet for his entire routine.
Connor revealed he has had to undergo treatment for a nasty cut on his leg – which made host Holly Willoughby want to “throw up”.
Meanwhile it was a big night for Brendan Cole, Kimberley Wyatt, and Regan Gascoigne who all got perfect 10 scores.
Bowing out of the competition, Stef said: “I have absolutely loved every moment of this show.
“It’s just not something I ever thought I would be able to do.”
It came after a jam-packed show, which was described by host Phillip Schofield as “the best we’ve ever done.”
He went on to reveal next Sunday will be a double elimination.
