Commenting online, one fan penned: "Early prediction; Mollie for the win."

Support for Mollie continued to roll in as a third wrote: "@ColinGrafton and mollie. Omfg wow!!!! What an incredible start to ur dancing on ice journey!!!!
"Incredible routine and amazing choreography!!!! Huge well done."
Mollie's routine was even more impressive given that she had to take four weeks off from training as a result of an injury.
It led one fan to quip: "What a great first skate from Mollie and to think she had 4 less weeks on the ice than the others, definitely one to watch."
Mollie fractured her wrist before even meeting her pro partner Colin Grafton, leaving her unable to train for weeks.
The Traitors star said: “Before I met Colin, I actually fractured my wrist.
“So we were off the ice for four weeks. We had some tough days with that. I think we were really excited to get back on, and you know, it felt like a big setback.”
But the pair made the best of a bad situation.
Colin explained: “We used it to our advantage and practised in a dance studio. We got to know each other better. It was difficult being off the ice and not training, but we’re back better than ever.”
