ITV Dancing On Ice praised for 'genius' Liberty Poole choice as fans make claim

Dancing On Ice has been praised thanks to a 'genius' Liberty Poole move.

The Love Island star has swapped the Spanish heat for the coolness of the ice as she made her debut on the ITV skating show on Sunday night.

Liberty is among the 12 celebrities who have signed up to take part in the 2020 series.

The 22-year-old was among the second lot of celebrities to take to the ice on Sunday night as the performances were spread over the first two weeks before the first skate-off.

But the choice of song for Liberty's first routine, alongside professional partner Joe Johnson, is what really got Dancing On Ice viewers talking.

The pair performed a fun routine to Little Mix's Shout Out to My Ex and those who watched Liberty in Love Island last summer couldn't help but comment.

@roscoeleebarnes tweeted: "Liberty skating to Shoutout To My Ex. Genuis #DancingOnIce."

"Omg Liberty dancing to Shout Out To My Ex #DancingOnIce #DOI," @JessLMas said.

"Liberty Poole dancing to Shout Out to My Ex has me creasing #dancingonice," @callysheps added.

And it caught viewers' attention as they made a claim about who the song was aimed at.

@JodieCarnie said: "If Liberty's first dance song isn't aimed at Jake I don't know what is #dancingonice."

"That song choice though Lib, hey Jake is at home KICKING himself!!! @dancingonice @Liberty__Poole #dancingonice," @louisemartistry commented.

Love Island fans will remember Liberty hit it off with Jake Cornish from the start when they entered the villa last June.

Liberty appeared to have found the perfect romance after coupling up with Jake in episode one and going on to become an official couple.

But just days before the Love Island finale, their relationship hit the rocks, and their split lead to a shock exit for them both.
