Michelle and Patsy Palmer were the celebrities with the fewest votes.

After her exit, a very emotional, Michelle - who was partnered with Lukasz Rozycki - said: "I'm gutted. I've loved every second and loved everything I just did there.

"This man has been amazing, I'm so sorry it's been cut short."

Earlier in the evening, Michelle earned a score of 20 for her dramatic performance to All That Jazz from Chicago alongside her professional partner Lukasz Rozycki.

The stars were scored by the judges as normal but those scores were then combined with the public’s votes and the lowest ranked couple got the boot.

The  move meant the Dancing on Ice celebrities couldn’t rely on being saved by the judges if they find themselves bottom of the leaderboard.  

But those watching at home were not happy about it at all and think she was set up to fail tonight after being underscored.

Many felt that Ekin-Su was awarded higher marks - despite making a number of mistakes.

One person wrote: “I dont understand how ekin su stumbles but still gets good marks nothing but a fix.. #DancingOnIce #DOI #ekinsu.”

A second said: “Oh I get if I see why ekin sue got Overly generous score. She's this series #Fix seems every series has one.”

While a third commented:  “This is clearly a fix omg #DancingOnIce.”
