    However, Love Island beauty Ekin-Su and EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer found themselves in the bottom two.

    But while in the skate off, unfortunately, Ekin-Su and partner Brendyn Hatfield didn't do enough to keep themselves in the competition leaving fans at home gutted with the results.

    Sharing her thoughts on her departure an emotional Ekin-Su said she "fell in love with the ice".

    Speaking to presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, she said: "All the other work I had and commitments at the time, this was my priority and I really gave everything to it.

    " I love it, I fell in love with the ice."

    Chiming in, Phillip told her she should be "really proud" of how well she did on the show.

    But despite the positive energy, fans at home were left feeling gutted.

    Taking to Twitter, viewers shared their thoughts as soon as the news of their departure was announced.

    Last week, Dancing on Ice underwent a format change, which left several viewers confused.

    At the start of the show, presenter Phillip Schofield announced that there would be no skate off and the viewers vote would be the final say.

    Unfortunately, Liberty X star Michelle Heaton received the fewest votes and had to leave the competition immediately.

    Following her abrupt exit, Michelle told her fans online that she was feeling "heartbroken" that her time on the show had come to an end.

    She wrote: "What a ride … I didn’t want it to end. Heartbroken.

    "Though hear me when I say, I am overwhelmed with the support on this platform & others, I hear the frustration .. trust me, I am sad too.

    "But guys, as one door closes another must open coz it’s the only way! We get up dust ourselves off and fight for the next dream.
