Holly Willoughby questions Dancing on Ice scores for Brendan Cole leaving fans unimpressed

Holly Willoughby came under fire from some Dancing on Ice viewers as she questioned the judges' scores for Brendan Cole, highlighting a very slight error during his first routine in the final.

Former Strictly star Brendan was second favourite with the bookies going into Sunday's finale and he and partner Vanessa Bauer got things off to a great start when they earned a perfect 40/40 for a moody paso doble infused skate to an operatic medley.

There was a very slight stumble during the number, as other skaters got involved but, either they chose not to acknowledge that or didn't see it, as all four Dancing on Ice judges gave it a 10.

Holly called out the error as she questioned the judges' marks. Raising an eyebrow, she remarked: "Chris, 10s across the board, despite that tiny little stumble?"

Olympic legend Chris replied: "Well the other stumble happened with the other boys." Holly responded: "Ahhhh," as Brendan interrupted to say: "Yes, that's a really good point."

Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield had mentioned the slight mistake moments earlier, but it was Holly who felt the wrath of some viewers at home. One took to Twitter to rant: "WTF is Holly's problem tonight calling out Brendan's perfect score 'cos be made one little stumble really? It's the finale. Who the hell cares seriously?

"Not as if the judges scores even properly count anymore anyway so what's the point exactly? Regan stumbled too."

Equally unimpressed with Holly, a second fumed: "I find Holly making comments like did Brendan tripped up which he did not Christopher Dean corrected her, then she said to Ashley they should be winners after their 10’s I think she is trying influencing the public."
