Dancing On Ice fans took to Twitter to call for a major shake-up as they complained that the 2022 series final was 'boring' to watch. Professional dancer Regan Gascoigne, the son of footballing legend Paul Gascoigne, lifted the trophy with his skating partner Karina Manta.
Viewers moaned that they were fed up of every dance getting a perfect score as Regan, Strictly Come Dancing pro Brendan Cole and Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt competed in the final.
The judges awarded 10s across the board on the ITV celeb skating contest. And while fans watching at home were impressed with the talent, many said the scoring in final was 'pointless.'
@DavidMackayy tweeted: "10’s yet again.. what a shocker."

@ChrissiX said: "This is a farce tonight. Why are the judges scoring them if they are just going to give everyone 10’s? Have them there to comment but scrap them scoring the final."
And @Cameron_934 complained: "Literally every dance will get 40 so it’s incredibly boring to watch."
During the final, while the judges score performances, the results are based entirely on the public vote.
Some fans of the long-running show, which launched in 2006, also think it's 'unfair' to include professional dancers in the celeb line-up.

@AmyJoanne_ tweeted: "What p****s me off is the fact that all the finalists are trained dancers #DancingOnIce."
@Dee23361117 asked: "If there is #DancingOnIce next yr, how about no professional dancers competing?"
And @immayo1 said: "So all the finalist on #DancingOnIce are professional dancers? All the other contestants had to learn two skills, dancing and skating. I'm turning off."
