DANCING On Ice fans have hit out at the judging panel after disagreeing with them on the scores given for one couple.
Fans of the show were up in arms and quick to slam the judges for ‘overscoring’ The Traitors star Mollie Pearce.
Asking “are they watching something different?” after Mollie and Colin took to the ice, fans didn’t agree with the 35.5 score the pair nabbed.
For Musical Week, Mollie & Colin skated to Mamma Mia! and received three scores of 9.0.
The pair did the headbanger during their routine, which is always met with baited breath – but the pair smashed it.
Although the couple seamlessly carried out the risky headbanger, fans didn’t agree with their high score.
Ashley gave the pair 9.0, Oti followed suit with a score of 9.0, and so did Jayne who gave 9.0, while Chris gave the pair 8.5.
After he scores were given, fans rushed to social media to fume over the high scores dished out to Mollie and Colin by the judges.
Fans were disappointed with the high scores the couple received, with many quick to say how Mollie needed to skate on her own more.
One person on X said: “Overmarked I think, not much solo skating for me. Pretty sure they told her last week they wanted to see more solo skating #dancingonice.”
A second then echoed: “I love Mollie but that was overmarked #dancingonice #doi.”
“Mollie still being carried around and scores 9s! How she keeps getting through week after week beats me,” penned a third.

Are they watching something different?!” asked a fourth.
While a fifth pleaded: “Ice skate on your own mollie please… the others get told why dont she…”
A sixth added: “I agree with Chris about Mollie – there were a few jolty moments I loved the Headbanger though and Mollie & Colin are a brilliant couple.”
“Well done Mollie and very brave. Although slightly overmarked IMHO,” added a seventh.

While an eighth said: “I like Mollie but decent headbanger doesn’t disguise a lack of solo skating.”
And another viewer chimed in: “Mollie was good but the standard required to get a 9 seems to have lowered in comparison to other years!”
But despite the criticism, some fans want the 22-year-old who is from Somerset to win the trophy at the end of this year’s series.
After the series began, one person said on X: “Need Mollie Pearce to be the first woman to win #DancingOnIce in 12 years because that was IT!!!”
