Dancing on Ice's Perri Kiely the 'winner already' as Diversity star gets near perfect score

There is still a long way to go until the end of the new series of Dancing on Ice but viewers claim they know who's won the show already, with some throwing 'unfair advantage' accusations at the show.

The hit ITV programme returned to our screens in January and has given us plenty to talk about over the past month. There has been Vanessa Bauer's horrific training accident, Kevin Kilbane's engagement to pro skater Brianne Delcourt and of course ALL the drama surrounding Caprice 'parting ways' with partner Hamish Gaman.

The live shows continued on Sunday night when the theme was Dance Week, with all of the remaining couples performing routines to classic dance styles.

And Diversity star Perri Kiely had his best week yet as he and pro partner Vanessa earned a near perfect score of 38 out of 40 for their Jive inspired skate to Johnny B.Goode. The score put Perri at the top of the leaderboard once again, where he's been since week 1, when he sparked fix accusations from some viewers.

His consistently brilliant performances have now led many Dancing on Ice fans to say he's won the series already. One tweeted: "That was amazing from Perri, it’s hard to see anyone but him winning this series," and another reacted "they must all know Perri has this in the bag. At this point they’re all competing for 2nd place."

A third posted "Why don't they just give Perri & Vanessa the trophy now" but others are still angry about the "unfair advantage" Britain's Got Talent winner Perri has. One posted "Well not sure if it's good thing or bad thing but obvious Perri has this in the bag, I'm still in my opinion think he has unfair advantage!" and, in agreement, another tweeted: "what a load of c*** this dancing on ice load of bulls**... @ james jordan ex pro dancer won it, perri pro dancer looks like he has won it. fact pro dancers just wasting peoples time phoning to vote get contestants with no dancing experience and his mate a judge fixed."
