Dancing on Ice's Liberty Poole takes a tumble during performance - but viewers blamed her partner

Love Island star Liberty Poole suffered a fall during her Dancing on Ice performance tonight - but viewers blamed her skating partner for the error.

Viewers gasped as the 22-year-old fell to the ice in the final moments of her performance to Flo Rida's Right Round.

Dancing on Ice praised the couple for finishing the performance, posting on Twitter: "Like any great rollercoaster, there’s always ups and downs… but Liberty is such a pro for finishing the ride! Well done Liberty & Joe #DancingOnIce"

But fans were quick to point the blame on Joe, with one fan replying: "To be fair it wasn’t her fault. Joe slipped"

One viewer took to Twitter to say: "Absolutely gutted for @Liberty__Poole looked like the skates collided. However great routine! @dancingonice"

As the couple reached the rink-side, host Phillip Schofield said: "We thought you were home and dry."

Liberty replied: "What happened? That hasn't happened before, but sometimes it just happens when it's never actually happened before."

Phillip replied: "The most important thing is you got up and carried on."

Liberty and Joe still managed to bag their highest score of the series, earning 28 out of 40 for their performance.

But judge and Olympic medalist Jayne Torvill admitted she would have scored the couple higher if she hadn't fell during the performance.
