Fearless celebrities take to the ice every year to dazzle audiences with their courageous efforts – but sometimes more drama happens from the ice.

Even though the show has been praised for its entertaining value, Dancing on Ice is also often plagued with fixed rumors.
Fans also questioned whether it was a popularity contest because some celebrities stayed longer than expected.
Here, The Sun looks at the most memorable scandals ahead of next week’s finale.
Professional dancers
Fans shouted that it was a “fix” that three of the finalists for next week would come from professional dance backgrounds.
Spectators were blown away by the talents of Kimberley Wyatt, who is from the chart-topping dance band The Pussycat Dolls.
Regan Gascoigne also dances for a living.
Perhaps the star who has dealt with most of the “fix claims” is Brendan Cole.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star has been blindsided from the start, with some fans claiming he had an unfair advantage.
Brendan dismissed this, saying, “I think everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
“And you can not compare apples to pears. Yes, I find it easy to record a choreography, because it’s something I’ve been doing for years, where someone else can fight it.
“There will definitely be a competition within a competition for those who have dance experience, of which there are a few.”
Dancer James Jordan also did very well in 2019, and fans thought
Perri Kiely also had a slight advantage in 2020 with his dancing background.
Popularity Contest
Despite their obvious entertainment information, fans thought some celebrities were staying longer than they should have.
They questioned how Gemma Collins stayed on the show after she fell on the ice – a moment that almost broke the internet.
Reflecting on the drum in 2018, Gemma said at the time, “I remember thinking, ‘I’m almost done, I’m not done yet, this is a miracle, maybe I’ll have another week. remain.
“I’m so excited, I just went over the top with my movement, what not to do in the skate and my toe was caught – and clapped.”
She continued: “I thought I was dead. I literally thought I was dead.”
Happy Monday’s rocker Bez also entertained the audience with some tuning just to see his comedy performances this year.
Others rejoiced when he was finally dismissed.
The Nineties legend became the fifth star to leave the ITV show after losing Sally Dynevor in the skate-off at Coronation Street.
Some spectators called it a fix that he survived so long because he could barely stand on the ice.
Others claim that judges Oti Mabuse, Ashley Banjo, Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean chose to rescue the actress as she worked for the same channel.
But Bez, 57, thinks only one race of celebrities has a boost – and that’s dancers.
He said: “For everyone we are all in the same boat. Everyone has to learn how to skate and that is such a difficult skill to learn.
“You have to give everyone credit for that. To put it on ice, it’s such a difficult skill.
Being a dancer will make your skating sport truly graceful and beautiful.
“But they all started in the same boat and they did all the work and I think it’s not fair to criticize people because they have dancing skills.”
