Dancing On Ice fans say ‘that must have hurt’ as they accuse celeb of throwing pro ‘too hard’ before tumble
DANCING On Ice fans were quick to accuse one celebrity of throwing his pro skater ‘too hard’ before they tumbled on the rink.
Dan Edgar and Vanessa James channelled the wild wild west with a performance to Oklahoma.
As the pair skated, Vanessa took a tumble, which left viewers flinching in the comfort of their own living rooms
But despite Vanessa’s slip up, the couple still scored 37.5, with fans left taken aback.
Firstly, fans reacted to the fall on X, with one saying: “Ouch. That must of hurt.”
“Down she went! Good recovery though,” said a second.
But then viewers began to slam Dan for “throwing” Vanessa “too hard”.
One person said: “Thought he threw her too hard in rehearsal, whoops.”
“So he skated well but kinda threw his partner to the point she fell. Maybe marked too high?” asked a second.
A third then fumed: “Dan’s scores are a jokeeee, that routine has no life and he basically dropped Vanessa.”
While a fourth said: “I honestly don’t think Vanessa was at fault for that, he didn’t do the setup properly and launched her too hard, I bet that landing hurt too.”
“Don’t worry about the mistakes and the fall. You still get 9.5 Dan,” said a fifth.
While a sixth added: “Dan was chronically overmarked – that is shocking from the judges.
“The bias towards him is sickening. There was a massive fall that should’ve been reflected in the score.”
