ITV Dancing On Ice viewers can't believe The Vivienne 'vile' comments

Dancing on Ice viewers were left 'sickened' by comments on the hit ITV programme on Sunday, February 12. The latest dance-off saw former EastEnders star Patsy Palmer axed from the series, however, it was a conversation with The Vivienne on the show that got viewers turning to social media to air their thoughts.

During the live show being hosted Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Drag Queen star The Vivienne was chatting to the presenters after scoring a whopping 33.5 out of 40 for a routine performed with dance partner Colin Grafton. The pair performed to Halo by Beyoncé on Sunday night.

The Vivienne, admitted: "It's been a really emotional week, getting ready to do this without my armour and then hurting my shoulder this morning and then having some diarrhoea."

Holly Willoughby then interjected: "It happens...it happens." With co-host Phillip Schofield adding "Never on the ice,". However it was the BBC RuPaul's Drag Race star's reply that troubled viewers after the 30-year-old joked: "Nearly had a slush puppie."

Viewers soon expressed their horror at the comment. "Slush puppy, really? We know what you mean, and I’m f***ing eating #dancingonice #DOI", fumed one person on Twitter. Another moaned: "Will never look at Slush Puppie the same again #dancingonice." A third agreed: "I can never see a slush puppy the same again #DancingOnIce".

The comments continued. Birmingham Live reported the outrage: "NOT A SLUSH PUPPY #DancingOnIce". Others complained: "Was there really any need to hear about his issues and his disgusting comments after were just vile and un-needed". Another asked "Can you not control them?"

Twitter was on fire with viewers comments: "The public; Awww Vivienne’s dance was lovely The Vivienne; I had diarrhoea #DancingOnIce", said one person.

Dancing On Ice continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
