Dancing On Ice under fire as fans felt sick after watching Torvill and Dean skate

Viewers of this weekend's Dancing on Ice show felt like they wanted to be sick after watching Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's drone-filmed dance.

The legendary ice skaters-turned-judges caused fans at home to experience motion sickness as they performed to the Beatles' Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds which was filmed entirely in one shot by a drone.

But as the camera followed them around the rink, viewers struggled to keep watching as they were left feeling increasingly dizzy.

Debbie said: "Stick to usual camera work Drone was very nauseating #dancingonice."

Sarah said: "Never knew watching from a drone could cause Motion Sickness …..Until I watched tonight #DancingOnIce please don’t do it again."

Ann said: "I don’t know whose idea it was to use a drone but don’t do it again, it was ridiculous. It made me sick and dizzy watching it, in the end I had to look away. Give the cameraman his job back. #dancingonice."

Lynn said: "Please no drone, I was really looking forward to the skate but drone made me feel travel sick. #dancingonice"

The show also saw Ben Foden became the first contestant to be kicked out of the competition after going head-to-head with ITV presenter Ria Hebden.

The rugby player was voted out by all of the judges but went on to praise his dancing partner.

He said: "I really have enjoyed it, this woman is incredible and it's the people who make this experience."
