Dancing on Ice fans have clashed over the result of Sunday night's final, with 'fix' claims sounding out around social media and Kimberly Wyatt fans very annoyed she only finished third.
After over two months of hard fought competition and hugely entertaining TV, the ITV show came to an end for another year, with a finale that pulled in millions of viewers. Just Kimberly and her skating rivals Brendan Cole and eventual winner Regan Gascoigne, were left standing in the race to victory and, after all three skated two routines with their pro partners, the leaderboard was tied on 80 points each.
Only the two couples with the highest public votes got to do Bolero and, while she was dressed in the obligatory purple outfit, it was Kimberly who missed out after finishing in third alongside Mark Hanretty. And Kimberly's final position was the first bone of contention for plenty of people watching Dancing on Ice at home.

One tweeted: "Kimberly was robbed should have been Kimberly and Regan in final, Kimberly has been consistent all the way through," with another equally annoyed viewer reacting: "No this is not okay kimberly and mark are better then the others"
Her third place finish was enough to spark shouts of a fix on Twitter and the same accusations were levelled at the final result, when Regan and Karina were announced as Dancing on Ice winners.
While loads of fans were quick to delight in Regan's win and heap praise on him and Karina, others felt Brendan and Vanessa were the better couple. Swift to vent their anger, one viewer fumed: "Brendan and Vanessa were robbed should have won it's a fix as their bolero was far superior."
Feeling exactly the same, another tweeted: "Brendan Cole & Vanessa my winners by a mile. Yet another fix! Shameful!" A third blasted: "Dancing on ice what a fix ! Bo**ocks...another programme that should be scrapped."
Prior to the winning announcement, some other Dancing on Ice viewers had accused it being fixed for Brendan to win, after he still got 40 for his first performance in the final, despite a stumble.
