Dancing on Ice's Patsy Palmer takes nasty fall as viewers praise recovery but question scores

Patsy Palmer has found herself at the centre of a scoring row on Dancing on Ice, after she took a nasty fall during Sunday's show, but still scored higher than Michelle Heaton, with confused viewers hitting out at the judges.

Like Michelle, EastEnders icon Patsy was near the bottom of the leaderboard after her first skate, finishing just ahead of the Liberty X star. Both women were hoping to bounce back in style as Dancing on Ice staged its annual Musicals Week, with Michelle appearing early on to skate to All That Jazz from Chicago.

However, there was more disappointment for Michelle when she got just 20 out of 40. Patsy was second to last skate, as she and pro partner Matt Evers took to the rink to skate to Wicked anthem Defying Gravity. Things started off rather well for the pair, with a stag lift getting applause from the studio audience, but disaster struck as the song reached its crescendo, as Patsy stumbled and fell onto the ice, with Matt helping her up.
