Dancing on Ice in new ‘fix’ row as viewers accuse judges of ‘copying’ each other’s scores
DANCING on Ice is in a new ‘fix’ row after viewers accused judges of ‘copying’ each other’s scores.
Fans have complained about judges copying each other for years.
Roxy Shahidi received identical scores of five points from all the judges, while three out of four judges awarded Ricky Hatton three points each.
One user took to X/Twitter and wrote: "Another series of Chris copying Jane’s score again."
Another added: "Will Chris and Jayne have different scores this year? Early days."
Referring to previous years, one fan wrote: "Everyone thinks Ashley is copying Jason but I'm sure its Karen and Robin #bore the same scores all the way through!"

Another added: "I'm sure Emma is copying Robin's scores, get your own score! lol."
On Saturday night's show Ricky Hatton punched presenter Stephen Mulhern as he made his debut – leaving Holly Willoughby gobsmacked.
In a comedy sketch, Ricky was tasked with holding the microphone, but comedian Stephen playfully attempted to tease him.
Holly said: "Just hit him Ricky please."
Following that, Ricky delivered a convincingly executed left hook, causing him to take a tumble live on air as part of the performance.
Holly, who reappeared on TV tonight after a three-month absence, initially looked surprised but then cheered at the humorous remark.
She made a comeback to host the show on Saturday night, donning a sparkling silver gown.
Since resigning from ITV's This Morning in October due to an alleged kidnapping plot that shook her world, the 42-year-old Dancing On Ice host has hardly ventured outside.
Just two weeks ago, she officially announced her return to host the skating competition.
In light of the announcement, ITV's head of entertainment commissioning Katie Rawcliffe described Holly and Stephen's partnership as "the start of an exciting year for the show".
She said: “Holly and Stephen are two of our best loved presenters, so reuniting them twenty years after they first appeared on screen together to host Dancing on Ice marks the start of an exciting year for the show.”
