After it was revealed that Ferne and pro partner Brendyn Hatfield had been given the axe, fans took to X to brand the show a ‘joke’. Much of their anger stemmed from the fact that there wasn’t a skate-off, meaning the couple with the lowest combined viewer votes and judges’ points would leave immediately without a chance to save themselves.

Earlier today, it was claimed that Ferne took her exit very badly, with The Sun writing that she felt ‘humiliated’ after performing a lively Trolls-inspired routine for her daughter, Sunday, in honour of Movie Night. The publication claimed that the reality star ‘cried hysterically’ after filming ended, with a source adding: ‘Ferne kept saying, “This doesn’t make sense” and, “It wasn’t meant to be like this”.’.

They also alleged that Ferne ‘couldn’t understand how she didn’t get the votes—despite having the most followers online.’. ‘It was made even worse that she was voted out on the night she was dressed like a troll. She feels humiliated.’. However, the allegations of a backstage temper tantrum have now been quashed, with a source explaining to Metro that Ferne was more concerned with comforting firstborn Sunday, seven.
