Dancing on Ice’s Lady Leshurr was booted off the show tonight after their showdown against Colin Jackson in the skate off.
This year, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, the hit ITV skating series has been hit with knock after knock ahead of the final as it saw five celebrities and two professional skaters be forced to pull out early.
Despite this, ITV bosses have kept the show going as it made its way to the semi-final tonight.
During the series one show was cancelled at the last minute and last Sunday’s showing was delayed by 15 minutes.
But tonight four couples still took to the ice to battle it out against one another.

Coronation Street star Faye Brookes and her partner Matt Evers, rapper Lady Leshurr and her partner Brendyn Hadfield, former Olympian Colin Jackson and his partner Klabera Komini, and radio presenter Sonny Jay and his partner Angela Egan were the final four pairs battling it out this evening.
Rebekah Vardy and partner Andy Buchanan sadly just lost out after they were evicted last Sunday.
This weeks show saw all acts dance twice – both completely different performances.
The first skate saw them have to use an object as a prop, Faye and Matt were told to include included golf clubs, while another couple had to skate with a kitchen chair.
For the second dance off, it was inspired by moving stories and songs which saw fans and the acts get very emotional.
In the skate off tonight was Lady Leshurr and her partner Brendyn Hadfield and Colin Jackson and his partner Klabera Komini.

After Lady Leshurr and Brendyn Hadfield were kicked out following the semi-final, viewers rushed to Twitter to share their views.
One tweeted: “Well done @LadyLeshurr very proud of you. Nearly had me crying when I see your family on the screen.
“You put your all into every performance! You deserve all the praise. You’re a winner in my eyes. Congratulations #dancingonice.”
Another wrote: “The wrong ones have gone tonight! Should never have been Lady Leshurr #dancingonice.”

“Aw, man. Gutted for @LadyLeshurr #BrummieTalent but well done to @ColinJackson. Go for it in the final! #dancingonice,” tweeted another.
“Absolutely gutted for Lady Leshurr and Brendyn. After tonight alone, they 1000% deserved to make the final even if they were never going to win,” said one fan.
They continued: “Chris might’ve said that Sonny improved the most but I think it was definitely her (or Colin). #DancingOnIce.”
One viewer commented: “Personally I thought Colin was very wobbly in both his performances tonight and especially in the skate off!
“Absolutely gutted for @LadyLeshurr but she should be so proud of herself. She’s come so far. #DancingOnIce.”
Dancing On Ice airs on Sundays at 6pm on ITV.
