Kimberly Wyatt's Dancing on Ice final position prompts same accusation from angry fans

Dancing on Ice fans have all said the same thing about Kimberly Wyatt finishing third in the final, with many arguing she should have finished higher and that she was 'robbed.'

Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly has been at or near the top of the leaderboard since day one, having receiving a plethora of 10s from the judges. But, to earn her place in Sunday's Dancing on Ice finale she had to battle it out in a three way skate-off in the semi final earlier this month, having failed to earn enough support from viewers at home.

The judges unanimously voted Kimberly and pro partner Mark Hanretty through to the final and they opened their account on Sunday evening with a moving skate to Joni Mitchell classic River. Kimberly and Mark scored a perfect 40 for that routine, with rivals Regan and Karina and Brendan and Vanessa also getting full houses of 10s.

Kimberly and Mark kept up their own high standard with their second skate, a reprise of their powerful and red hot performance to Santa Maria by the Gotan Project. That too earned 40/40, meaning that after both couples skated twice, there was nothing between them, with a three way tie on the leaderboard.

Only two couples got to skate Torvill and Dean's iconic Bolero in a final bid for glory and unfortunately for Kimberly and Mark, it wasn't them. After Phillip and Holly announced Brendan and Regan as the final two, Twitter was awash with tweets from angry fans, before Regan went on to be Dancing on Ice winner.

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"

A third fumed: "WHAT AN ABSOLUTE FIX KIMBERLY BEEN FAULTLESS ,FIXED FOR BRENDAN TO WIN,THE LAST TIME IM WATCHING THIS SHOW AFTER THIS SHAMBLES!"
