Dancing On Ice fans were in uproar as the 2022 finalists were revealed.
A double elimination whittled down the couples in the semi-final and Dancing On Ice viewers were fuming as The Vamps musician Connor Ball and BMX racer Kye Whyte were sent home in double elimination.
Viewers took to Twitter to cry 'unfair' that three professional dancers skated through to the final in two weeks.
