ITV Dancing on Ice fans fuming as first couple in skate off announced

Fans of Dancing on Ice were livid as the bottom two skaters were announced on tonight's show.

The ITV show returned for another brand new series tonight, with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield at the helm. Six celebrity contestants took to the ice, with the remaining line up set to perform next week.

At the end of the show, it was time to reveal who's place in the competition was in jeopardy and who was set to face the dreaded skate off next week. It came between Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Michelle Heaton, as Phil announced that it was Ekin who would be in the head to head.

Ekin struggled to hide her disappointment and the smile faded off her face as soon as her name was called. When asked how she was feeling, she replied: "Absolutely gutted. You know, but it's fine."

She added: "I've been really ill as well and I know it's not an excuse but I just got back up and... yeah."

Holly reassured the former Love Island star as she said: "You can do this. You've got this."
