Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner has blasted the `favouritism' on the show. The Australian choreographer gave his reaction to the panel choosing to save Daniella Westbrook over Mikey Graham in the skate-off last Sunday night.
Gardiner and Nicky Slater both wanted to keep Graham in the competition but they were out numbered by Robin Cousins, Karen Barber and Emma Bunton.
The trio voted to keep the former EastEnders star in the contest despite her struggle with the required element, a solo spin.
Gardiner told The Sun: "In the skate-off Mikey upped the ante and nailed three solo spins which was the required element.
"So how you can put through somebody who couldn't get the proper required element?"
He added: "Mikey was very graceful and elegant and it was a good solid performance. He was robbed. He can be very proud. He shouldn't have gone.
"I'm shocked the other judges didn't vote Danniella off - there is no doubt everyone has their favourites now."
Speaking on the night, the Boyzone singer said that it had been an "amazing journey" but it was "time to leave".
