DANCING On Ice’s Stef Reid left the competition tonight as Phillip Schofield said that not one, but two pairings will be sent packing next week.
Stef, 37, landed in the skate-off against Kye Whyte, who was unanimously saved by judges Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse and Christopher Dean.
Tonight’s head judge Jayne Torvill agreed with the decision to Stef home, and the track and field Paralympian star told hosts Phillip and Holly Willoughby: “I have absolutely loved every moment of this show.
“It’s just not something I ever thought I would be able to do.”
It came after a jam packed show that host Phillip described as “the best we’ve ever done.”
Sunday’s show saw Brendan Cole earn a perfect score from the Dancing On Ice judges for a second week running.
The former Strictly Come Dancing professional secured 40 points for his skate to Let’s Face The Music And Dance from the film Follow The Fleet, after ending his routine with a successful headbanger move.
The celebrity contestants performed routines inspired by Olympic champions and show judges Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
Brendan was first on the ice alongside his pro partner Vanessa Bauer during Sunday night’s show.
Asked how he found the routine, Cole said: “Scary, full-on scary. There was so much content in there and we wanted to do justice to Jayne and Chris.”
Torvill told him “everything flowed beautifully together” before fellow judge Ashley Banjo described the routine as “near-perfect”.
Last week, Cole earned 40 for a performance to Falling by Harry Styles, which saw him dance as ‘rain’ poured down on him on the ice rink.
BMX Olympic silver medal winner Kye Whyte delivered a fast-paced, 1950s-inspired routine to At The Hop by Danny & The Juniors, ending with a headbanger.
He completed the routine successfully, despite suffering a fall during rehearsals.
He scored 37 out of a possible 40 points, his highest score of the competition.
Dean told him: “When you were skating, I was skating it with you. That’s the sign of a great performance. We were with you all the way.”
Last week, Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor was eliminated from the show after losing in the skate-off to Whyte.
