ITV Dancing On Ice fans confused as they spot missing detail in Oti Mabuse's performance

Dancing On Ice's Oti Mabuse took centre stage on Sunday night as she made her debut performance on the show.

The professional dancer joined the ITV skating show as a judge back in January but was finally able to return to her dancing roots days after announcing she had quit Strictly Come Dancing.

In a show first, Oti was choreographed by skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean for what was billed as an "elaborate fusion of ice and dance."

The routine was expertly adapted from her stage show, I Am Here, which will see Oti perform at more than 50 show at venues around the country from April.

Oti, 31, donned a sensational, bedazzled gold outfit with a matching pair of gold heels as she kickstarted her routine in the Dancing On Ice tunnel before being lifted and skated to her own mini stage on the ice.

The fiery routine gave a glimpse into her tour which pays homage her home of South Africa and her journey as a dancer.

But as some Dancing On Ice fans branded the routine 'hot', others were a little baffled.

"Am I the only one that when Oti said she was going to be doing a routine... I actually thought she meant on ice," @whitesandshomeaccessories said.

@sllanburnessphotograhpy asked: "Where were her skates?"

Oti was lifted across the ice during her routine (PA)

"I wonder where her skates are," @sanannwoods68 echoed.

@silverfairy22 commented: "Three words: dancing on ice. Should have got former dancer who learnt to skate like @jamesjordan1978 at least he was on the ice."

"#dancingonice Okay she’s a brilliant dancer but what’s the point of this is Oti is not dancing on ice with skates??" @Giannini6221 wrote.

@FanOfTV05 tweeted: "I'd have thought Oti would have danced on ice, considering that is the point of the show? #DancingOnIce."

"Why did i expect Oti to be ice skating #dancingonice," @Rachel27xox added.
