Dancing On Ice judge John Barrowman has claimed the male stars in the final have to work much harder than the women and insisted Faye Brookes may actually do a lot less skating.
The ITV show is in its final week and comes to a conclusion with the grand final this weekend.
Faye, 33, is the only female star in the top three, competing against Sonny Jay and Colin Jackson.
John, 54, has given his thoughts on the final three celebs, and admitted he thinks the male stars have to work harder because they have to learn how to do lifts.
The Doctor Who star said because Faye will spend much of time being lifted by her partner Mate Evers - she actually will do less skating than the men.
Speaking to The Sun, John explained: "It is difficult for the male skaters.
"They not only have to learn how to skate but have to learn how to lift and do spectacular lifts in order to impress.
"The female skaters, having learned how to skate, get lifted and don’t spend a lot of time on the ice because the lifts are so spectacular.
"We need to make sure there is a balance so it's not Faye up in the air all the time being spun around because there is no skating there."
This series of Dancing on Ice has been plagued by problems as five celebrity skaters were forced to drop out as well as two pros.
Billie Faiers, Denise Van Outen and Jason Donovan all left the show due to injury problems, while Rufus Hound and Joe-Warren Plant had to quit after testing positive for cornavirus.
Professional skater Yebin Mok was ruled out after a horror accident during rehearsals with Olympic skier Graham Bell and Hamish Gaman suffered a nasty finger injury.
The show used up both of their reserve skaters, Amy Tinkler and Matt Richardson, and were running out of celebrities as they continued to drop out.
It has mean show bosses were forced to move the final forward by a week.
An ITV spokesman said in a statement: " ITV have taken the decision to move the final of Dancing on Ice forward by one week.
"The competition’s final will now take place on Sunday, March 14.
"Our production team and cast have delivered a fantastic show during incredibly challenging times.
"Continuing to make the best TV for our viewers is our top priority and we look forward to the rest of the series, on air from this Sunday at 6pm."
Dancing On Ice returns to ITV at 6pm on Sunday.
