Dancing on Ice in shock elimination as fan-favourite is axed from ITV skating contest after tense dance-off

DANCING on Ice has sent home its latest star after an incredibly tense skate-off.

Charlie Brooks became the latest celebrity to be given the boot after failing to win over the judges support after being sent into the dance-off with Anton Ferdinand.

After both delivering their night’s routine once more, it was down the the judging panel – Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo – to have their say on who should be going home next.

Ashley, Oti and Jayne opted to eliminate Charlie meaning that no vote from Chris was required.

As this week’s head judge, Christopher Dean had the responsibility of making the casting vote and although it was not required, he insisted that he would have voted to axe Charlie as well.

It was Anton’s second time in the skate-off but the first for soap star Charlie.

Speaking alongside pro partner Eric Radford, Charlie admitted she was ready to leave the show.

Talking to the programme’s hosts, she revealed that she had begun to feel “out of her depth” as she confessed that she was the “right person” to go home.

They became the sixth star to exit the contest after Love Island star Chris Taylor skated away last week.

The current series of Dancing on Ice has not been without its shock eliminations with two of the stars expected to take the crown being booted out in the first two weeks.

Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey was eliminated first and she was quickly followed by ITV reality star Ferne McCann.


Comedian Josh Jones was also forced to pull out owing to injury whilst Sir Steve Redgrave also was shown the door after being consistently at the bottom of the leaderboard.
