Things are NOT looking very friendly between Dancing On Ice judges Jason Gardiner and Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean

Although Jason Gardiner worked well with Torvill and Dean for YEARS on Dancing On Ice when they were in their previous roles as coaches to the celebrities, it seems that things are looking rather frosty (...sorry) between them now that they all sit on the judging panel together.

This year's series has taken the Olympic champions from coach to head judges, which means that they get the final say on who leaves the show if the judges' votes are tied.

Paul Gascoigne's son Regan Gascoigne was crowned the 2022 winner of Dancing On Ice, in perhaps the most competitive final in history! Regan and his pro partner Karina Manta were up against Brendan Cole and Kimberley Wyatt in the final.

Of course, this has NOT gone down very well with notorious diva Jason, who is apparently fuming over the fact that his peers get the status of head judge, giving them more power than him.

After their controversial decision to save Lemar over Stephanie Waring last weekend, Jason has apparently been left "annoyed" that he doesn't have the same status as them since he has been a judge for longer.

A source told The Daily Mirror: "Jason was disappointed with the decision and that was down to Torvill and Dean, and Jayne having the casting vote.

"The week before, Chris made the final decision and Jason doesn’t always agree with them, so naturally he is annoyed.

"With his experience as a judge on the show he feels he is more than worth his place and his comments are often the most memorable."

But judge number four Ashley Banjo disagrees with Jason, and told the publication that it should be Jayne or Chris that makes the final decision.

He said: "If someone said as a panel, 'There’s four of you, a split vote is inevitable. Who should be head judge?' I know Jason disagrees with me but I would say Jayne or Chris.

"They come as a partnership. Jason thinks it should be split between us all."

Ooh 'eck. We cannot WAIT to see the fireworks on Sunday...
