ITV Dancing On Ice fans spot 'reason' for numerous falls during latest episode

Dancing On Ice fans think they've figured out the reason for numerous falls during the latest trip to the rink.

It was time for week five in the ITV skating competition on Sunday night with the remaining couples taking to the ice for their latest performances.

Despite the episode airing a day before Valentine's Day, Dancing On Ice scrapped its love theme and gave the celebrities a bit of control with a performance inspired by their favourite things.

Happy Mondays dancer Bez took to the ice in a beekeeper suit while Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor harked back to the 80s with a routine set to George Michael track, Faith.

But there were also a few falls and stumbles during the two-hour-long show.

Love Island 2021 star Liberty Poole suffered a fall during her skate to Right Round by Flo Rida.

The rollercoaster-themed routine saw her lifted by her professional partner Joe Johnson but lose her footing during the landing, dragging Johnson to the ice.

However, the pair quickly regained their feet and finished their routine just as the music ended.

And the pair still managed to bag their highest score of the series with a score of 28 points out of 40.

Bez also took a tumble during an energetic routine dressed as a bee-keeper to Walking On Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.

Frontrunner Regan Gascoigne also seemed unsteady on his feet in places during her routine to Shivers by Ed Sheeran inspired by his love of reptiles.

But despite the almost tumbles, the son of England footballer Paul and his professional partner Karina Manta earned an impressive 36.5 points out of 40.

And one eagle-eyed Dancing On Ice viewer thinks they've spotted the reason why the mishaps happened.

@loopylisa80 said: "Every time Holly mentioned valentines day someone either fell or made mistakes. Brings the saying falling in love."

She was referring to host Holly Willoughby who, alongside co-host Phillip Schofield, was on hand to introduce the couples and chat to them after their latest performances.

The falls sadly proved costly for Liberty and her partner Joe as the pair landed in the dreaded skate-off opposite Kye Whyte his professional partner Tippy Packard.

Judges Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill, and Christopher Dean voted to save BMX Olympic medal winner Kye, who was also in the bottom-two last week, with only Oti Mabuse opting to back Liberty.
