Dancing on Ice voting figures published after 'fix' claims following Regan Gascoigne win

ITV have released the voting figures for the Dancing on Ice final, after some viewers levelled 'fix' accusations at the show.

After making its return to screens for another year back in January, the hit show has had millions of viewers glued every Sunday night, to watch the likes of Happy Mondays legend Bez and Coronation Street icon Sally Dynevor battle it out on the rink.

By the time of Sunday's final, there were just three stars left standing - Regan Gascoigne, Brendan Cole and Kimberley Wyatt., The final saw all three celebs, together with their pro partners, perform two routines. They opened their accounts with a Showcase skate, before following that with their 'best of', which saw Brendan and Vanessa reprise their rain-soaked number to Harry Styles' Falling; Kimberley and Mark do their tango to Santa Maria and Regan and Karina bring back their Barnum routine.

After the vote was frozen, Kimberley and Mark were voted out in third, leaving Brendan and Regan to skate to Torvill and Dean's iconic Bolero, with both versions having the judges on their feet. The dying moments of Sunday's Dancing on Ice finale saw hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby announces Regan and Karina as 2022 champions, before Regan nearly dropped the trophy, next to a panicked Holly.

As with all TV talent shows, the Dancing on Ice result didn't please everyone. Some fans argued that Kimberley was robbed, while others felt Brendan and Vanessa were the stronger couple.

And now ITV have published the voting percentages for Sunday's finale, which show that Regan and Karina were clear winners, but Kimberley wasn't far from being second.

Before first vote freeze

Regan and Karina - 48%

Brendan and Vanessa - 29%

Kimberley and Mark - 25%

Final vote for winner

Regan and Karina - 62%

Brendan and Vanessa - 38%

After the confetti fell on Regan and Karina's victory on Sunday, the Dancing on Ice cast and crew headed to an after party, which saw host Phillip give a speech and everyone belt out S Club 7 classic Reach.
