A DANCING on Ice in favouritism row has erupted as fans slam the judges scores.

Mollie Pearce won the nation over when she was the runner-up on BBC’s The Traitors in 2024, and now she has won the nation over once again.

But it seems that the Dancing On Ice judges aren’t on the same page, with 22-year-old Mollie and her skating partner Colin Grafton’s score dubbed as low by viewers.

For Movie Week on the hit show this evening, the pair skated to Beauty and the Beast.

Enchanting those watching, fans were fuming when the judges scored them 30.

But with a possible top score of 40, fans were quick to say how they thought the pair had been undermarked.

Reacting to Mollie and Colin’s performance, one person wrote: “Omg why did the judges score Mollie the same as Ferne when Mollie did solo skating and Ferne didn’t do any! One word….. BIAS.”

Another said: “Mollie and Colin were undermarked.”

While a third wrote: “They overscored every single person except for Mollie…. oh that’s a choice.”

“That was amazing from Mollie, were the judges watching something else?!?!” asked a fourth.

While a fifth penned: “No way Mollie was on the same level as Anton. What a joke she deserved higher.”

A sixth then said: “The judges obviously watched something else! Mollie was amazing!”

And a seventh fumed: “Mollie and Colin being lower on the board just shows what’s wrong with the scores because they had one of the best routines of the night.”

Despite the judges having “undermarked” Mollie, fans still think she should be the first female winner of the show in 12 years.

“Need Mollie Pearce to be the first woman to win #DancingOnIce in 12 years,” penned one person, last weekend.
