It's almost Dancing on Ice's semi final but fans were left less than impressed with tonight's episode

Dancing on Ice fans have branded the show a fix after they saved Kem Cetinay in the skate off despite him making a mistake during his performance.

In tonight's show [25th] all the couples had to perform twice; their own dances and the group performance. It was all going so well; no one tripped, Jake Quickenden scored a whopping 38 points and Disney on Ice performed on the show.

Following the public votes both Kem and Alex Beresford were left in the skate off however viewers were not impressed that the Love Island star made it through to the semi final after he made a mistake in the skate off and the GMB presenter didn't.
