Bez leaves Dancing on Ice after partner Angela Egan falls but fans argue he should have stayed

After keeping millions of viewers entertained for over a month and sparking some controversy, Bez was voted out of Dancing on Ice on Sunday night, after partner Angela Egan fell in the skate off.

But some fans argued that Bez should have stayed, accusing skate off rival Sally Dynevor of being 'carried round' by her pro Matt Evers.

The Happy Mondays icon and music legend has found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard after a dramatic start to life on the ITV show, after banging his head on the training rink and then contracting coronavirus.

Bez has worn all manner of different costumes and a crash helmet as Torvill and Dean handed him some entertaining routines.

The former Celebrity Big Brother winner survived even landing in the bottom two, as the likes of Rachel Stevens and Liberty Poole all got the boot.

But, at the end of a week that saw him the target of a backlash from Dancing on Ice viewers over him still being in the competition, Bez found himself in the dreaded Skate Off, after finishing rock bottom with the judges yet again.

Bez had to battle it out with Coronation Street star Sally and his final skate wasn't without drama as pro Angela took a tumble during the performance.

After both Bez and Sally skated again, all four judges, and guest panellist Arlene Phillips all chose to save Sally, although Ashley did heap praise on Bez for 'always doing his best.'

Dancing on Ice host Holly Willoughby looked gutted at losing Bez from the show, and his exit sparked a big reaction online.

Some fans were adamant that Bez should have stayed over Sally, with one tweeting: "how the judges can send Bez home over sally is beyond me!!! They said the quality of the skating??? Sorry but don’t think sally’s blades touched the Ice."

A second reacted: "Sally never let go of her partner! and Bez skated on his own!!! WTF!"
