Dancing On Ice star Ben Foden’s wife has lashed out at the show after her husband became the first celebrity to be axed from the show.
Jackie, 35, didn’t hold back as she took to her Instagram account to slam the show, furious at the decision to kick Ben, 36, off the show on Sunday (January 23) night.
Posting on her story on the social media site, the New Yorker didn’t hold back her feelings on Dancing On Ice – or the UK as she admitted she couldn’t wait to get back to the US.
She wrote: “What’s the point of saying it’s a skate competition when it’s really just a popularity competition?
“Why divide the skaters into two weeks, groups of your choosing, and why not judge all their scores together after the two weeks?
“What’s the point of getting a bunch of people together and then not judging them together afterwards?”
Jackie then questioned why they even have judges when the show results are based on public votes and popularity.
She continued: “And what’s the point of having a judging panel when it’s all down to a public vote.

“That’s not a skate competition, it’s a popularity competition. What’s the point of anyone doing this really practising and trying to learn if you’re just going to be judged on your popularity?
“It’s a bit unfair, and we’re a bit sad, the worst skater wasn’t the first to go, I don’t really see the point.”
She added: “Yes, it’s how the show makes money but maybe leave the public vote for the save me skate offs or something?
“Otherwise it’s just kind of pointless to even try.”

Jackie then admitted that she can’t wait to get away from England for a while and back to her life stateside as her anger continued.
She posted: “And I’m glad we get to go home to NYC sooner!! Had my fair share of England for a while, time to get back to the real world and get our lives back.”
Prior to Ben being voted off Jacki had been joking that she hoped he would get the chop so he wouldn’t cheat on her with Rachel Stevens.

At the time of his exit, Ben thanked his skate partner Robin Johnstone for her guidance over their three months of training.
He said: “I really have enjoyed it, this woman is incredible and it’s the people who make this experience.”
Dancing on Ice continues Sunday, January 30 at 6:30 pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
