Short ad breaks causes panic on Dancing On Ice

A short ad break caused panic on Dancing On Ice.

Hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield couldn't help comment 'that was quick' as the ad break ended and the action returned to the ice on the ITV celeb skating contest.

Holly even took to shouting fans back into the room to make sure they didn't miss any of the action on the rink while they were making a brew.

"If you're in the kitchen we're back! Come back in, don't miss it!" she cried as magician Ben Hanlin prepared to skate with his pro partner Carlotta Edwards.

Fans watching at home commented on the short ad break.

Contestants Ben Hanlin, Lisa George, Libby Clegg MBE, Perri Kiely, Joe Swash, Lucrezia Millarini, Caprice, Trisha Goddard, Kevin Kilbane, Maura Higgins, Ian 'H' Watkins and Radzi Chinyanganya (ITV)

"That was a quick ad break, didn't get chance to switch kettle on," tweeted one.  

Another complained that they had missed the next performance.

"Damn! Misjudged the ad break and missed Ben and Carlotta," they grumbled.

"That was a quick advert break," tweeted another.

"The 30 second ad breaks on #dancingonice are brilliant," said another fan.

But another viewer disagreed with them, replying: "Not brilliant when I’m trying to make my tea between the break.

"Halfway through making it, run upstairs and a whole performance has been and gone."

And another viewer commented: "Didn't know that ad break was so short. Had to unmute my TV FAST. Anyway here's Ben and Carlotta."
