Dancing on Ice fans call for Liberty Poole's exit over awkward Madonna confession

Dancing on Ice viewers called for Liberty Poole to be eliminated after admitting she didn't know the huge Madonna which hit she performed to.

The Love Island star danced last night to Vogue, Madonna's 1990 single, but confessed to partner Joe Johnson that she had never heard the iconic tune before, leaving viewers shocked.

She made the admission when Joe planed her the song for the first time, in a clip seen before the couple's routine.

On Twitter, one person said: "Liberty should be voted off immediately for NOT knowing Vogue", while another person commented: "Liberty needs to go tonight simply for not knowing Vogue. Youngsters these days lol."

Others were simply confused by the 22-year-old's admission.

One social media user said: "Did Liberty just say she didn’t know this song? Vogue?! Madonna?!" and another added: "how does liberty not know vogue, what planet is she on."

One person asked whether Liberty lived under a rock, due to her confession, while another pointed out her young age might be the reason for her ignorance.

Others were sympathetic to the star, with one Twitter user saying: "Considering Liberty had never even heard of 'Vogue', she did a great job there. Enjoyable routine and a big improvement on last week!"

One person said: "Really impressed with Liberty and Joe this week, huge improvement in Liberty's skating love the Vogue styling!"

Another simply praised the pair for their "great routine".

Liberty received 27.5 out of a possible 40 points from the judges.

S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens was booted after a tense skate-off with Kye Whyte.

Speaking after her exit was confirmed, she told hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern: "It's definitely been a process. I've loved it so much and dancing with Brendyn."
