As reported by the Mirror, Bez took to the stage with dancing partner Angela Egan to give another decent performance, given the amount of distractions that took place.

After taking a tumble on the ice last week, Bez was ready to prove his worth on the show during his performance of 'Bat Out of Hell' in Musical Theatre week.

The production also threw in all sorts of exciting props to help the performance, including extra skaters and fireballs - but it wasn't enough to distract from the average performance.

At one point Bez was even lifted into the air with a pair of huge bat wings, but even that couldn't give him better scores.

Fans of the show were desperate to hear Arlene's thoughts on the performance - but host Phillip Schofield went down the judging panel line, missing her out.

Fans believed her commentary was relevant given her expertise, but others joked that perhaps the show cut her off because "she wouldn't hold back".

One comment read: "How come Arlene didn’t comment on Bez? I suppose she’s not really allowed to say 'that was crap'."

Another fan said: "They didn't ask Arlene what she thought about Bez were they afraid of the brutal truth,"

A third viewer added: "bez was right about the distractions. he does the same thing every week. think its time for him to go and did phil forget to ask Arlene what she thought or did i miss it!"

Meanwhile, a fourth fan asked: "why did Arlene not get to comment on Bez?"

Bez was voted off the show on Sunday with a low score of 22.5.

Dancing On Ice airs Sunday at 6pm on ITV.
