Dancing On Ice fans question 'forgotten' judge as Arlene skipped during Bez commentary

Dancing On Ice fans questioned why guest judge Arlene Phillips was missed, during feedback for contestant Bez.

Bez and his skating partner Angela Egan took to the rink again with another steady performance, this time with loads of distractions.

After falling on the ice last week, Bez was shown taking it pretty easy as he moved around the ice and attempted some jumps.

This week, the production team threw all sorts in to distract viewers, it seemed, from Bez's skating - including extra skaters, fireballs and other effects.

At one point Bez was lifted into the air with a pair of huge bat wings, but it wasn't enough to give him better scores.

Viewers were desperate to hear what choreographer, dancer and theatre star Arlene had to say by the amusing routine.

But they were disappointed when host Phillip Schofield went across the judges, but didn't go to her.

Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene did score Bez a mark of four, while she didn't get to explain her score or her thoughts on the performance.

Fans believed her commentary was relevant given her expertise, as others joked perhaps the show cut her off because "she wouldn't hold back".

Predicting some savage comments about Bez, fans took to Twitter to question why she wasn't included in the comments.

Of course sometimes, due to limited time, the hosts only go to some of the judges, and this week there is an extra judge.

But fans were not impressed, with one writing: "How come Arlene didn’t comment on Bez? I suppose she’s not really allowed to say 'that was crap'."

Another fan said: "They didn't ask Arlene what she thought about Bez were they afraid of the brutal truth,"

A third viewer added: "bez was right about the distractions. he does the same thing every week. think its time for him to go and did phil forget to ask Arlene what she thought or did i miss it!"

Meanwhile, a fourth fan asked: "why did Arlene not get to comment on Bez?"

Dancing On Ice airs Sunday at 6pm on ITV.
