Dancing on Ice-Jennifer Metcalfe is voted off ice.

 Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe was booted off the ice last night after the judges unanimously voted to save Rob aka ‘Ice’ at the skate off. Judge Jason said his decision was based on the skaters’ personality on the ice, leaving Jennifer speechless and in tears as she left the competition.

The outcome of the public vote also came as a surprise to the other celebs and viewers as two of the top skaters Jennifer and Ice were chosen to perform again for their survival, while bottom runners Kerry and Comedy Dave escaped, proving it really is anyone’s game.

And that wasn’t the only drama last night as judge Jason and trainer Karen came head to head in a vicious argument. It all kicked off after Jason claimed he was ‘indifferent’ about Johnson’s performance, prompting Karen to defend the former soldier who said it was a bigger challenge for him than the other skaters. Jason replied ‘If your opinion was so important you’d still be on the panel’, while Karen defensively said ‘you bring nothing to the panel.’ Jason did later attempt to apologise but as he branded Karen too emotional she threw it back in his face by calling him a ‘nasty, nasty man’, handbags , or should I say ice skates at the ready.

Last night’s show was the first of the Ultimate Skills test in which celebs have to perform required elements, the first being a step sequence by themselves but in time with their partner.

There was also a Vegas theme, however it was clear none of the production team have visited Sin City what with the programmes over-use of show girls wearing feathers and the tacky decorations and sparkle, fortunately the skating was much better.

Sam was once again at the top of the judges’ leaderboard with an impressive 25.5/30, Laura hot on his heels with 24/30 and Chloe with 22/30. The most improved skater was Jeff who achieved a score of 20/30 with what Emma Bunton called a ‘smouldering, strong and confident’ performance. Whereas Kerry Katona, who admitted she was close to quitting, was exposed by the step sequence leaving her with a low score of 10.
