Mollie Pearce hit with brutal ITV Dancing on Ice blow ahead of next show after disappointing skate
Mollie Pearce could be saying goodbye to her Dancing on Ice competition this weekend as worrying new data has emerged ahead of Sunday’s instalement.
Last weekend, Pearce and her partner Colin Grafton skated to Chappell Roan’s Hot To Go but unfortunately didn’t impress the judges.
Feeling pleased with her performance, Pearce told hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern: “I thought the performance side would be the hardest thing for me but I am really enjoying it actually.”
Receiving her scores, Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse gave Pearce a seven, before Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean gave the star a 7.5.
Giving their feedback as to why their scores were quite low, Dean said: “I love the skating, I love the confidence that you have out there, you are right, the performance is just coming out of you.
“But what I am finding now is I want more originality. I feel this routine is similar to last week’s routine.
“It is not so much the elements it’s how you transition from one element to the next, the originality in the arm holds and the position you have with each other. Bring that at the marks will go up for me.”
Mabuse agreed and added: “I don’t think that was the cleanest skate that you have done or that we have seen you do.
“When you are doing lines I would love to see you elongate your lines and when you’re doing your lifts to land a little softer and hold yourself stronger when you are in the lifts.”
Torvill admitted she loved the energy of the performance but agreed with Mabuse when it came to finishing her lines and emphasising her shapes.
Banjo echoed the same sentiment and reiterated: “We are week five now and I think from this point onwards it is all about refinement, the details and I think we are going to be more picky than before.”
It seems her tough scores and critical feedback have rubbed off on viewers and bookmakers as her prices to go this weekend have crashed.
According to Gambling.com, The Traitors star has odds of 5/1 to go home on Sunday night – a blow considering it’s a stark contrast to the 66/1 odds from last weekend.
However, Anton Ferdinand still remains the favourite to go home next at 8/11, but after achieving the third-best score last weekend it could all change.
EastEnders star Charlie Brooks is sitting between them both with odds of 2/1 of being chucked from the competition.
Michaela Strachan remains the 11/10 favourite to win this year’s Dancing on Ice after scoring 35.5 points, her highest of the contest so far – but she has some new main competition.

The Only Way is Essex star Dan Edgar also received his highest score on Sunday night and is now priced at 5/2 of winning the competition.
Coronation Street actor Sam Aston is out to 4/1 from 7/2 last week, despite a solid 33-point score, which is also his highest of the competition so far.
