'flipping fix'
Dancing On Ice in new fix row as furious fans claim ‘wrong star was thrown off show’
DANCING On Ice fans have furiously claimed last night's skate-off was a fix - saying the "wrong star was thrown off the show".
Track and field Paralympian Stef Reid, 37, became the latest star to get the boot after the judges chose to save Kye Whyte.

But some felt it was unfair as Stef has been struggling with a horror injury after her death-defying headbanger move.
It was hoped she'd be the first disabled star to win Dancing on Ice after impressing viewers.
Instead judges Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse and Christopher Dean thought Olympic BMX racer Kye deserved a place in the semi-finals.
One angry viewer said: "#dancingonice what a flipping fix. No way should Stef been voted off. I thought she was amazing."
Another added: "Very unfair for Stef, thought she be the first disabled person to ever win #DancingOnIce. Total fix from the #JudgingPanel."
Someone else said: "I'm so sorry, that result was a fix."

Against the odds, injury-prone Connor Ball made it to the semi-finals - after he managed to stay on his feet for his entire routine.
Connor revealed he has had to undergo treatment for a nasty cut on his leg - which made host Holly Willoughby want to "throw up".
Meanwhile it was a big night for Brendan Cole, Kimberley Wyatt, and Regan Gascoigne who all got perfect 10 scores.
Bowing out of the competition, Stef said: "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, which was described by host Phillip Schofield as "the best we've ever done."
He went on to reveal next Sunday will be a double elimination.
