I’ve never watched Dancing on Ice before this year, but it did seem to be a little bit harder than the rest of those sorts of talent shows. Thing like Strictly Come Dancing can’t really complete with the level of skill needed to do something like ice skating and spinning someone round your head while making sure you don’t smash them into the ice.

However, Laura claimed perfect tens in one of her dance routines so should she have been the real winner?

I dislike shows like this where it’s half down to the public and half down to judges, because half the time the public make the wrong decision. That’s why people like Wagner were in the X Factor for so long.

While Sam was obviously good at what he was doing, I disliked his attitude some week and his fake romance with his partner. It just all seemed a little fake, even though he could obviously dance.

So what do you think? Should Sam have won last night?

The popular show, in which celebrities learn to ice skate with the help of former ice skating champions Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean was rocked when Jason Gardiner – a judge on the show – compared Olympian Sharron Davies with ‘faecal matter’.

The comment sparked a deluge of complaints to ITVs website and forums calling for the Australian judge to be sacked from his role.

Gardiner’s comments were directed to the outfit Miss Davies wore – a brown, sparkly leotard – during hers and her instructor’s dance to Carole King’s ‘You’ve got a friend’. The routine earned the pair praise from the panellists – except from Gardiner, who told the former Olympic athlete:

‘You look like faecal matter that won’t flush, that goes around and around but doesn’t go anywhere.’

Campaign group Mediawatch were quick to condemn the judge’s remarks on the show which aired on Sunday reported the Daily Mail.
