Dancing On Ice viewers complain about new set in latest series
They don't like it!
Author: Alex RossPublished 5th Feb 2018
Dancing On Ice returned to our TV screens after a four year hiatus last month, and whilst the revival has seen a high number of viewers tune in, some fans really hate one aspect of the new set.
As they sit in front of the TV and watch the likes of Kem Cetinay, Jake Quickenden and Brooke Vincent take to the ice, viewers of the ITV show have expressed their dislike over the new, smaller than usual ice rink.
For the brand new revival series, a new purpose built set was created, featuring two rinks, a training rink and a performance rink.
The main performance rink is a lot smaller than it was in past series of Dancing On Ice, and it seems viewers aren't happy with the change, with some admitting it has led to less quality.
Despite complaints about the new set, it seems the majority of fans are loving the new series with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
ITV said, “The show's welcome back has exceeded our expectations and it's been fantastic to see the audience at home loving it. The recommission is a no brainer and it's brilliant for everyone involved to know it'll be back next year.”

In other Dancing On Ice news, former Bucks Fizz singer Cheryl Baker was the fourth celebrity to leave show after finding herself in the skate off with Donna Air.
Cheryl and her skating partner Dan Whiston found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard with a score of only 16. Despite finding herself in third place on the leaderboard with a score of 23.5, Donna Air found herself in the bottom two.
After both pairings performed again, the judges decided to keep the former Byker Grove star in the competition, sending Cheryl home.

Coronation Street actor Antony Cotton also impressed, despite performing with a broken rib. Read more about that here.
After his performance, Antony took to Twitter to thank everybody who voted for him on Sunday night. He wrote, 'Booted up and back on the ice. Let’s hope the ribs stay put! Thank you EVERYONE that voted for us. @YayItsBrandee and I are thrilled we made it so far, and to this week especially. We have a beautiful skate that means the world to us. You’ll see why on Sunday.' sic
Dancing On Ice continues on ITV on Sunday evenings.
