Dancing On Ice fans have been left fuming at 'harsh' and 'inconsistent' scoring by the ITV figure skating show's judges. Viewers were particularly annoyed at the scores given to Michelle Heaton for her Chicago-themed routine for Musicals Week last night (January 29).
Fans were impressed by the singer's clear improvement compared with the week before - with even Holly Willoughby, who co-hosts alongside Phillip Schofield, commending her boosted confidence, reported the Daily Star. However, the four judges - including Nottingham pro skating duo Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean - were less impressed, giving scores of 5.5, 5, 5 and 4.5 for a total of 20 out of a possible 40.
It left some viewers scratching their heads, claiming other celebrity contestants had performed worse but scored better. And it ultimately led to Michelle, who did have a few wobbles as she skated around the rink, being voted off the show after the public vote was factored in.
