Dancing on Ice result sees Lady Leshurr go home as judges divided on who should make final

There was a split vote to decide who made it through to the Dancing on Ice final after the judges were torn on who to save and who to send home from Sunday' semi.

For the second week in a row, a casting vote was required, this time from Christopher Dean, after a closely fought skate-off.

But, unlike last week when she made it through at the expense of Rebekah Vardy, it was Lady Leshurr who was axed this time, thus missing out on a place in next weekend's grand finale.

In a shock turn of events, given that she was the first celeb to score a perfect 40 and finished joint top of the leaderboard on Sunday, the rapper landed in the bottom two yet again, this time against Olympian Colin Jackson.

And things went right to the wire after the crucial skate off as, after Ashley Banjo and John Barrowman both went on "performance" and saved Lady Leshurr, Jayne Torvill said she was "looking for skating" so saved Colin.

This required her long-time skating partner Chris to have the final say and, taking the same approach as Jayne, he too opted to put Colin through to the Dancing on Ice final.

Reacting to the decision, Lady Leshurr said: "I am actually so happy because I love Colin. I was shaking my head saying 'please guys not again, don't let us through, because I genuinely wanted him in there."
