ITV Dancing on Ice viewers 'sick' after watching Nottingham's Torvill and Dean skate

It's not the reaction you want from fans, but ITVs Dancing on Ice has left some viewers feeling 'sick'.

As Nottingham's own Olympic skaters took to the ice, what was meant to be a stunning performance actually had fans reaching for the off switch, according to the Mirror.

Former world champions, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, performed to the Beatles' Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds ahead of the results.

Their routine was filmed by an overhead drone but it was this camera, which followed the pair around the rink, that left viewers feeling queasy.

Fans soon took to social media to share their views.

Heading for Twitter, fans complained that they had been forced to switch off their tellies due to nausea.

One tweeted: "ok i love Torvill and Dean to bits, but couldn't watch most of that performance cus of the weird drone shots. Felt sick and dizzy watching it #DancingOnIce."

While another commented: "#dancingonice that made me feel sick watching that drone filming."

A third wrote: "Don't know about anyone else, but that made me feel quite sea sick #DOI #DancingOnIce."

"#dancingonice Well that was a shame, couldn't watch Jayne & Chris via drone - head wrecking, motion sick!" another complained.

One added: "#DancingOnIce I'm feeling a little sick with the drone."

One fan simply posted an image of a drone and wrote "#DancingOnIce biggest loser of the night".

A fan pointed out: "I know they’re intentionally making it trippy to match the song, but the camera work during Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean’s dance made me feel crazy sick. #DancingOnIce."

Soon afterwards, Ben Foden became the first contestant to be kicked out of the competition after going head-to-head with ITV presenter Ria Hebden.

The rugby player and Celebrity X Factor star was voted out by all of the judges, including Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne and Chris.

Speaking to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, he praised his pro partner after three months of training for the ITV show.

He said: "I really have enjoyed it, this woman is incredible and it's the people who make this experience."

Phil said the standard was so high this year suggesting Ben might have been at a disadvantage.

He replied: "I know, I thought there’d obviously be someone who couldn’t skate, and it turns out it is me! Literally everyone was so good."

Dancing On Ice returns on ITV on Sunday or catch up on ITV hub.
