Dancing On Ice fans were quick to complain over an 'unfair' exit on Sunday night. It was announced earlier on Sunday, 26 January, that contestant Josh Jones had withdrawn from the ITV skating competition due to sustaining an injury during rehearsals. Dancing On Ice announced in a statement: "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 with his recovery.".
Many viewers had hoped that this would mean no celebrity would leave on Sunday night due to Josh's, 32, exit from the competition. One person said: "They are now two celebrities down-I wonder if they will have a week without a skate-off?", a different account wrote: "Please don’t send anyone home tonight give everyone a pass to next Sunday please" while another added: "I hope no one goes out tonight!".
However, Dancing On Ice still proceeded with the elimination as they revealed the skate-off had been ditched. Host, Holly Willoughby, said: "Tonight, there are no second chances, the lowest placed couple will go straight out the competition with no skate-off to save them!".
Later in the show, following the vote, Ferne McCann was eliminated as the tearful TOWIE star admitted she was 'gutted'. Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers expressed their dissatisfaction over the 'unfair' exit especially as Ferne and professional partner Brendyn Hatfield scored 28 points and were middle of the leaderboard.
