Dancing On Ice fans rejoice as show returns but viewers all have same complaint
Share:
Dancing On Ice returned to ITV on Sunday to the joy of fans - however, many had the same complaint when they tuned in to watch the latest batch of celebrities skate for praise. Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern were both back to host the iconic winter sport reality competition - with football pundit Anton Ferdinand and TV presenter Michaela Strachan among the stars taking to the ice to try and win the trophy. While many were excited to see the show back for its 17th season, some took issue with the "cringe" jokes that host Stephen, 47, cracked.
The TV host showed proved he is still at the top of his light-entertainment game - as he had a running joke where he made mistakes over some of the contestant names and jobs, joking that Anton would need a net, rather than realising his skate partner is called Annette Dytrt. And there was a joke about Michaela being a "naturist" rather than a nature expert.
Many took to X to complain about Stephen's repertoire, with one writing: "These jokes they’re not even funny #DancingOnIce." Another typing: "The jokes between Stephen and Holly are soooooo cringe #DancingOnIce." And a further fan complaining: "Who’s writing the script, the jokes are cringeworthy #DancingOnIce.".
But many others were thrilled to see Dancing On Ice back on the TV - and to have Stephen back too. One impressed fan wrote: "@StephenMulhern Back on my TV. Love seeing his face. He never ages #DancingOnIce." And another remarked: "#DancingOnIce love the skating professionals they're so good at what they do!".
