ITV Dancing On Ice fans cry 'unfair' over Kye Whyte's skate-off routine as he's saved over Stef Reid

It was Stef Reid's turn to bow out of the competition tonight after she faced Olympic BMX racer Kye Whyte in the dreaded skate-off.

Track and field Paralympian Stef and her professional skating partner Andy Buchanan were up against Kye and Tippy Packard.

And the judging panel chose to save Kye.

The pair have now skated through to the semi-finals of the long-running show.

But viewers watching the ITV celeb skating contest took to Twitter with questions.

They clocked that Kye and Tippy, who have landed in the skate-off a few times, have been skating to the same song - Sanctify by Years and Years.

@isthatbrandonn shouted: "ARE KYE AND TIPPY DOING THE SAME DANCE THEY DID IN THEIR SKATE OFF LAST WEEK??????"

@ThomDWTS asked: "Is Kye gonna skate to Sanctify again?!"

And last week they wondered: "Don’t they usually change the skate off song after using the same song twice?

@the_clara_bella said: "Swear Kye and Tippy do the same dance every week in the dance off #dancingonice."

@russelltruran observed: "Surprised they’ve let Kye do the same skate-off routine every week. #DancingOnIce."

@LizColeman_xo asked: "Anyone else waiting for the same dance again…"

Other viewers said it seemed 'unfair' to repeat their routine.

@Cameron_934 said: "Unfair how Kye could skate the same routine multiple times and Stef gets eliminated."

@Lisalisey87 said: "Doesn't seem fair that Kye can perfect a routine about six times and Stef goes on the first time she performs her skate off routine #dancingonice."

And @LindyLaQueen agreed: "They should only be allowed to perform it a max twice then change.

"Or go back to the old days of repeating their earlier skate. Definitely fairer."

But erinz_ cheered: "I get to hear Sanctify again so all good #DancingOnIce."

After the skate Kye said: "It's my favourite routine."

And host Holly Willoughby quipped: "It's definitely the one you know the most."
