Torvill and Dean explain their controversial decision on Dancing On Ice
What did you think?
Dancing On Ice judges Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have stood by their controversial decision to send home Stephanie Waring, after fans were in uproar on Sunday night.
Stephanie, who was partnered with Sylvain Longchambon, was voted off by the judges over Lemar, who had also appeared in the previous week's skate-off.
But today (24th January), Torvill and Dean have stood by their decision to favour Lemar over Stephanie, even going so far as to say it "wasn't a hard decision."
Speaking on Lorraine this morning, Jayne said, "It wasn't a hard decision for us because it is a skating competition and, stumbling aside, Lemar did more skating, and certainly on his own as well."

Chris backed her up, adding, "When you look at the overall picture, Lemar could stand up by himself, he could propel himself, he could skate faster over the ice, forwards and backwards.
"He had a stumble, but when you look at the quality overall it was still greater.
"We're here to promote the skating side of it, and so we want to see a good skater."
This comes after Stephanie herself appeared on Lorraine earlier in the week, saying that she'd been "very confused" by her knock-out from the competition.
She said, "The way I always thought Dancing on Ice was, was that the skate-off is just based on that skate and everyone has the chance to improve. You go on to improve.
"I wanted the opportunity to improve on my last skate and grow in the competition just as Lemar does as well. So I was like, we can’t make a mistake, it all rests on this one skate."
Discussing Lemar's performance, she then added, "So I was very confused when there was a trip and yet I’m the one to go home. It is a lot of hard work just down the toilet, really."
Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday evenings on ITV.
