Christopher Dean, Jayne Torvill, Ashley Banjo, and Oti Mabuse were bowled over by the former Strictly Come Dancing star’s routine with professional skater Vanessa Bauer and hailed it ‘effortless’.

Oti said she was so emotional after the performance, adding: ‘For weeks I’ve been saying I want more and I know you.

The Dancing On Ice panel was clearly wowed by Brendan Cole and partner Brendyn Hatfield after a fabulous routine inspired by the musical Jersey Boys.
