The reality star became the second celebrity to be eliminated from the competition. Ferne McCann broke down in tears after becoming the second celebrity to be eliminated from this year’s season of Dancing on Ice. The former The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) star, 34, performed a Trolls-themed routine to “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire with her professional skating partner Brendyn Hatfield.
McCann and Hatfield scored 28 points for the choreography, based on the Dreamworks musical animation, which included a move in which the reality star sat down in a chair position while skating. Many Dancing on Ice fans presumed there would be no elimination in week three as comedian Josh Jones withdrew from the competition after sustaining an injury in rehearsals on Sunday (26 January).
However, presenter Holly Willoughby confirmed a contestant would still be axed from the series despite Jones’ withdrawal. “Tonight, there are no second chances,” she said. “The lowest placed couple will go straight out [of] the competition with no skate-off to save them.”.
When it was revealed McCann would be leaving the competition, the TOWIE star tearfully said: “So gutted, but it is what it is. It’s been amazing. Thank you so so much. It’s just been brilliant. So fantastic.”. The reality star’s partner added: “We’ve had just the best time skating together and learning and growing, and she had so much more in her.”.
