It is props week on ITV1's Sunday night entertainment show Dancing on Ice and viewers have shared their surprise at one celebrity's high score. The Vivienne, a drag queen from Colwyn Bay, and her professional partner Colin Grafton impressed the judges with their elaborate routine - but The Vivienne was also critiqued for making an error.
Performing with a chequered flag as her prop, a nod to The Vivienne previously having won Ru Paul's Drag Race, she and Colin made a mistake during their routine and dropped the prop. However, the judges still scored the Welsh drag queen highly, as she was awarded nines from three of the four judges, and scooped up a total score of 35.5 out of 40.
Viewers were not impressed The Vivienne scored so highly. One surprised viewer said: "That was never a 9. Dropped the flag, not enough speed and didn't finish on time with the music. #DancingOnIce". Another added: "They weren't fast enough for the tempo of the song. NO WAY was that 9. #DancingOnIce".

A third viewer added: "@dancingonice Vivienne was marked too high, with dropping the prop, as well," whilst another viewer said: "the Vivienne wasn’t a 9, it was very basic skate, it was a 8, even 8.5 at the most #dancingonice #DOI".
A fifth said: "Overmarked ! They dropped something #DancingOnIce"
Elsewhere in the show judge Jayne explained why she was appearing on the show with her arm in a sling. Chatting to host Phillip Schofield, Jayne explained she had injured her arm and needs to have surgery. She said: "Talking of things going wrong on the ice, I've injured my bicep tendon so I need to get surgery...I am going to have to have surgery," while Christopher joked: "I am studying up for it!"
Jayne added: "I'll be fine and we will be back on the ice soon". It is believed that Jayne's injury happened very recently as videos from her helping the celebrities earlier in the week show her without the sling.
