ITV bosses are said to have changed the dance-off as the stars will no longer have to skate a new performance if they find themselves in the bottom two, according to The Sun .
Have YOU got a story? Email [email protected] Dancing On Ice has changed the structure of the show in a huge shake up designed 'to avoid upsetting the celebs'.
A source told the publication: 'On Dancing on Ice, in the past all the couples had to prepare a special skate-off dance which would be ready in case they were voted into the bottom two. 'Bosses have rethought the plan moving forwards and couples in the bottom two will now be asked to simply repeat the same dance that they performed on the main show.'The news comes after it was revealed that the show introduced a 24-hour hotline for stars to raise any concerns, following the Strictly Come Dancing bullying scandal.
A source said: 'ITV puts the welfare of show contestants at the heart of what they do. No one needs another Strictly — and Dancing on Ice bosses want their stars to feel like they can speak out if something isn't right. Dancing On Ice bosses have reportedly introduced a 24-hour hotline for stars, following Strictly's bullying scandal
The show was then hit with a fresh wave of scandal when Graziano Di Prima was sacked in July for 'kicking' his partner, Love Island star Zara McDermott. Posting on X, Barrymore wrote: 'I find it bewildering that BBC's #strictly is the only production under fire this week when ITV's Dancing On Ice treated their celebrities and dancers exactly the same - if not worse. Even I witnessed abuse from producers at @ITV and I had a very short stint with them…'Reacting to Barrymore's comments, an ITV spokesman told MailOnline: 'We do not recognise these unsubstantiated claims.
