DANCING On Ice is known for providing audiences with a song and dance, but viewers were left in shock tonight when the Magic Mike troupe made an appearance on stage.
The act took place while the ice skating couples took a break from performing routines for the panel of judges.
Adults at home watching the ITV show with their families were taken aback when the group of six dancers began to strip off on stage.
Once shirtless, the men gave the audience a raunchy performance which included hip thrusts and gyrations.
An embarrassed Holly Willoughby could be seen covering her eyes with a jumper.
Appalled parents took to social media to protest, with one person writing: "Think of the children. Their poor eyes."

Another added: "Not sure the kids were impressed with half naked men gyrating."
A third viewer complained: "What on Earth has happened to Sunday evening TV? Where's Songs of Praise?"
A fourth questioned: "Magic Mike is now wholesome family viewing? What the f**k happened there?"
However, some people watching at home saw the funny side of the situation.
