Stef Reid has become the latest celebrity to be booted from ITV’s Dancing on Ice, but many fans weren’t happy about the decision.
Paralympian Stef, 37, landed in the dreaded skate-off alongside BMX star Kye Whyte on Sunday’s quarter-final (March 6).
Both stars were desperate to make it to the semi-finals of the competition, but only one celebrity could make it through to next week’s semi-final, and it was Stef’s time to leave.
All of the judges, including Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, and expert figure skaters Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill, voted to save Kye and his skating partner Tippy Packard.
Jayne also had the deciding vote in the matter, but it seemed all of the judges were in agreement during a highly competitive week.

However, many fans watching at home were upset about Stef being voted off, with some mentioning the fact Kye had been in the skate-off four times.
One fan wrote: “Kye & Tippy have literally been in the bottom two 4 times now, so their clearly somehow still not connecting with the public.
“How the hell do the judges still not realise that seriously? Poor Stef, literally just missing out on a place in next week’s semi final”
A second said: “Don’t agree with that result Stef should have stayed”
A third wrote: “Stef should of stayed this week. Kye doesn’t deserve to be in the Semi Final.
A fourth weighed in to say: “Totally ridiculous. Kyle is saved again. Stef was amazing.”
A fifth added: “stef was robbed”
Other fans were pleased for Kye and praised his performance.
One wrote:” Gutted for Stef chuffed for Kye. Great skate off from both. It’s really tough at this stage”
A second said: “Kye & Tippy are a great couple and performed superbly tonight. Again! Stef has been incredible along with the brilliant Andy. What a show”

Stef and her pro partner Andy Buchanan managed a dazzling routine from Mack and Mable on the rink – bagging their highest score of 36.5/40.
Kye and Tippy managed to win 37 points out of 40 for their 1950s diner-inspired routine – which saw him pull of a flawless headbanger.
Torvill and Dean week incredibly impressive, because three stars, Brendan, Kimberly and Regan, received top marks in the episode.
All three sailed through to next week’s semi-final.
Next week will see a double elimination, which means only three pairs will make it to the Dancing on Ice final on Sunday March 20.
