DANCING on Ice has been plunged into a new fix row after ITV star Sally Dynevor made it through to next week after her skate-off with Bez.
It comes as her pro partner Matt Evers has leapt to her defence saying she only had 3 hours to train.
Fans were split over the judges’ decision to send Bez home and took to Twitter to say it could be a ‘fix’ as Corrie’s Sally was an ITV star.
One said: “Don’t forget people. Sally works for the ITV. Dancing on Ice is screened by ITV. Need I say more.”
A second said: “Bez does more skating on his own whereas Sally has to be hand held all the way. But then he’s not in Corrie on an ITV show.”
Others thought Sally was the better skater and were delighted Bez was sent home.
One Tweeted: “Sally was so enchanting, she deserved to stay,” while another said: “#Bez out finally! He should have gone first it was like watching your granny at a rave.”
Meanwhile Best Magazine columnist Matt has defended his partner Sally saying her skate-off was ‘her best skate yet.’

Matt, who is partnered up with all the show’s biggest stars, said they ‘only had 3 hours of training compared to everyone else who had 5-12 hours,’ adding he was ‘so proud of what she was able to accomplish.’
Speaking on Best Mag’s Instagram, Matt said: “The Skate off was the best she has ever skated.
“Sally’s schedule – she is still filming for Corrie and we are finding it harder and harder to get through these routines.
“This week we only had 3 hours of training compared to everyone else who had 5-12 hours, and I’m so proud of what she was able to accomplish within that small amount of training time.
“She’s doing this for fun. She has a real job, a full-time job with Coronation Street so we are just trying to get as much done as we can throughout the week.”
