Dancing on Ice result sees Carly Stenson suffer 'painful' exit as fans question outcome

Carly Stenson suffered a painful exit from Dancing on Ice quite literally, after she sparked injury concerns in the skate-off, before crashing out of the competition in an unanimous result.

Former Hollyoaks star turned West End leading lady Carly had been a consistent high scorer, alongside professional partner Mark Hanretty since week one and was a hot tip for the final in the eyes of many fans. However, on a night when a number of couples got their highest score of the series so far, Carly and Mark found themselves in the risky position of being just below middle of the leaderboard, placing fourth out of six couples with the judges' scores.

And their standing wasn't enough to keep them out of the dreaded Dancing on Ice skate-off. While bottom of the leaderboard pair, Molie and Sylvain got enough viewer votes to escape elimination, Carly and Mark had to battle for their place in the competition against Siva and Klabera.

There were a few mistakes in Carly's routine and, as the music ended and she joined Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, the actress admitted that the skate had been 'painful', thinking that her shoulder had 'popped, whole assuring everyone she was OK.

The Wanted star Siva followed Carly onto the ice and delivered a cleaner performance, with all four judges choosing to put him through to the semi final at Carly's expense.

A visibly tearful Carly looked gutted at being voted out and many Dancing on Ice viewers shared in her upset, with one tweeting: "Utter b***ocks! Sack the bloody judges. Carly is more assured, technically, better, and far more adventurous. Ridiculous." In agreement, a second reacted: "Don’t agree with that - Carly is much better," while others were more concerned that Carly wasn't in too much pain.
