Stunned Dancing On Ice viewers have taken to Twitter after Lemar Obika was saved from the skate-off for the third time

Dancing On Ice has had no shortage of dramas since it returned to our screens after a four-year hiatus earlier this month.

Not only has Jason Gardiner fallen out with fellow judges Torvill and Dean and one professional skater been hospitalised, but viewers have been left scratching their heads over the results on more than one occasion.

And this week is no different.

After three weeks in the bottom two, Lemar and his partner Melody Le Moal really picked up the pace this week to avoid being in the skate-off once again.

But the routine sadly did not go down well with viewers, who placed him at the bottom of the competition once again - this time, against Olympic athlete Perri Shakes-Drayton.

Both pairs took to the ice once again to perform their skate-off routines - which Lemar performed this week for the third time - and every single judge chose to save him over Olympic athlete Perri Shakes-Drayton.

Perri was very gracious in her defeat, and said: "I was enjoying it, I wasn't ready to go home. Unfortunately Lemar was the better skater today and my journey ends."

Her partner Hamish added: "It's disappointing to go because it's such a fun experience. It's great every week with the Perri building the routine."

Head judge Christopher Dean added: "Lemar has had three goes at this and he just got better. It's going to get harder for him each week now."

But of course, viewers were in shock that Lemar had survived the skate-off for a third time.

However, some fans of the show defended their choice.

This show is FULL of dramas...
