Michelle Heaton has been backed by Dancing on Ice fans, who have accused the judges of being 'overly harsh' with their scores, as she bowed out of the show in cruel circumstances on Sunday night, with no opportunity to save herself in the skate-off.
Liberty X star Michelle had an emotional start to her journey on the ITV show, admitting she was left in tears when the call came through to say she'd landed a spot on the line-up, before then being left close to tears after she and pro partner Lukasz performed their first routine.
While her husband Hugh and children Faith and AJ cheered wildly for her in the audience, the judges weren't so kind about Michelle's skating, with their scores seeing her end up at the bottom of the leaderboard. After avoiding the dreaded skate-off, Michelle and Lukasz were ack in action on Sunday night, with Michelle fulfilling a career dream of becoming Roxie in Chicago, as they performed to All That Jazz.
