Dancing On Ice returned to our television screens on Sunday night but viewers were left less than impressed when the popular ITV programme was brought to a stop for "breaking news".
This week the skaters celebrated Movie Week with The Vivienne putting on a performance to Mary Poppins, while Coronation Street's Mollie Gallagher skated to Ghostbusters.
It was just before her routine that those watching at home were taken to the ITV News studio, where presenter Lucrezia Millarini made an announcement as she warned of paranormal activities.
Mollie and her pro-dance partner Sylvain Longchambon then took to the rink. However, fans of the show were left less than impressed, writes Liverpool Echo.
Many have branded the segment "insensitive" following the discovery of a body yesterday in the search for missing mum Nicola Bulley.
Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: " "Not sure #dancingonice that the Breaking News segment was in good taste with everything going on"
Another said: "I did not like that dance at all… the news interruption wasn’t funny I didn’t think it was funny I thought it was rather rude of them regarding a serious case. not me getting scared that was a legit breaking news broadcast"
A third added: "funny joke @ITV?? yeh let’s put a breaking news in the middle of the show even though there’s some awful stories in the news atm"
And a fourth penned: "Cor did anyone else’s bum go with that “breaking news” before the ghostbusters dance? My first thought was “what now?"

Dancing on Ice’s Mollie Gallagher is gearing up to attempt one of the most dangerous moves on the show - with a shopping trolley. The Coronation Street actress, who plays Nina on the ITV soap, was asked to attempt ‘the headbanger’ earlier in the series. The death-defying move, also known as the Bounce Spin, sees a skater picked up by their ankles and spun around by their partner.
Some viewers were not impressed when they tuned into This Morning on Wednesday and heard Sir Bob Geldof repeatedly misgender Sam Smith.
Dancing On Ice viewers saw Joey Essex try to kiss his pro skating partner Vanessa Bauer at the end of their High School Musical routine this weekend. And after Vanessa pulled away on live TV, our columnist Jake Quickenden - who was partnered up with Vanessa in 2018 - says "people have read too much into it" and says it's obvious how much Joey, 32, and Vanessa, 26, like each other. The 34 year old hit back at the comments online, revealing the moment between them was "playful" and he believes that Vanessa didn't pull away from the kiss as a rejection.
