Dancing On Ice 'makes HUGE change to format in bid to avoid upsetting competing celebrities'


ITV bosses are said to have changed the dance-off as the stars will no longer have to skate a new performance if they find themselves in the bottom  two, according to The Sun .

These measures come after Dancing On Ice's BBC rival Strictly's milestone 20th year has been marred by scandal - after actress Amanda Abbington unexpectedly quit the show last October before claiming her partner Giovanni Pernice was abusive towards her. Posting on X, Barrymore wrote: 'I find it bewildering that BBC's #strictly is the only production under fire this week when ITV's Dancing On Ice treated their celebrities and dancers exactly the same - if not worse. Joining them are former footballer Anton Ferdinand, Hollyoaks' Chelsee Healey, TOWIE star Dan Edgar, Love Island's Chris Taylor, presenter Michaela Strachan and Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey.
