Viewers were left furious during Sunday’s movie night episode – after hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern revealed a major twist.
In keeping with the theme, they were dressed as Wicked’s Glinda and Elphaba, respectively.
Holly shared: “Well tonight, there are no second chances. The lowest placed couple will go straight out of the competition with no skate-off to save them.”
To which Stephen then joked: “Yep, and we know how well that went down on social media, don’t we?”
As Holly laughed, she added: “All we’re going to say is you have to vote then, don’t you!”
Fans soon took to social media, sharing their disappointment with the format change.
One wrote on X: “Hate theres no skate off. Makes it just a popularity contest and not much about skill. Shame”.
Another added: “Wait? Have they scrapped the skate-off then?”
A third chimed in to demand: “Bring the skate-off back!”
It comes following comedian Josh Jones having to pull out of the show.
Josh, 32, was forced to bow out after sustaining an injury during training.
The full statement on their withdrawal read: “Josh Jones sustained an injury during rehearsals and has had to withdraw from Dancing On Ice.
“Josh and Tippy’s partnership will be greatly missed.
“We will be helping to support Josh and wish him well in his recovery.”
Referencing Josh’s exit, a fan penned: “The fact there’s one less person and they still can’t find time for a skate-off.”
Dancing On Ice continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
