Dancing On Ice’s first celebrity elimination revealed as fans slam judges for ‘underscoring’ stars

DANCING On Ice has waved goodbye to its first celebrity contestant - after just two weeks of live shows.

One of the new stars was voted off after failing to impress the judges and the audience at home.

John Fashanu was sent home after failing to impress the judging panel and viewers at home with their routine tonight.

John, 62, who is partnered up with pro-skater Alexandra performed a lively routine to Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum for the dance off.

But after failing to impress, he waved goodbye to the show, with viewers devastated at the result.

The new series of Dancing On Ice kicked off last week - with the eleven new stars revealed to audiences.

The line-up included The Wanted Singer Siva Kaneswaran, actress Michelle Heaton and former The Only Way Is Essex star Joey Essex.

Holloyaks star Carley Stenson, comedian Darren Harriott and Love Island's Ekin-Su Cululoglu were also named.

The line-up also included former EastEnders star Patsy Palmer, Coronation Street's Mollie Gallagher and RuPaul's Drag Race winner The Vivienne.

While Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson and former footballer John Fashanu complete the list of celebrities.

Love Island star Ekin-Su was the first to find herself in the skate-off as the first half of the contestants performed.

Tonight's second episode saw the second half of the contestants take to the ice to try and avoid the skate-off.

But Ekin-Su and John Fashanu ended up in the bottom two, with John ultimately sent home after the judges' final decision.

It comes after fans hit out that some of the stars on tonight's show had been "undermarked" during their routines.
