Dancing On Ice fans have been left furious during tonight’s show as they called the judges out on their “tactical marking”.
James Jordan opened the show and scored a huge 34 points with 8.5’s across the board with his beautiful routine.

But the judges said he needed to push himself harder, and Jason Gardiner called him out for his poor spiral given he’s a dancer.
Melody Thornton came onto the ice a few skaters later and performed a great routine to Frank and Nancy Sinatra, that viewers at home loved.
But despite the judges heaping praise on her, they scored her 33 which was a point less than James.
Given fans thought her routine was much better and she’s a talented skater, they think the judges have decided they want James to win and Melody is suffering in the scoring because of it.

What is wrong with the #DancingOnIce judges!! Tactical marks as they clearly like James. Melody is leagues ahead of him, and much more likeable

#DancingOnIce How the hell did Melody not score more highly than James?

Looking for any reason to take points off melody they are just so James stays top….sorry but she was miles miles better #DancingOnIce

Jayne and Chris giving Melody an 8 just to keep James on top of the leaderboard it's quite obvious. (It can't be all in my head) #DancingOnIce

It got even worse after Wes Nelson performed and stumbled a few times, yet at 33.5, he still got better marks than Melody.
Fans were even more fuming.

Elsewhere, Brian McFadden stumbled and dropped his partner, yet scored higher than Jane Danson, who completed a clean routine.
And Saara Alto performed a slow and emotional routine, a huge part of which she skated solo, yet only scored 31 points – and fans were also not happy about that, insisting she’d been under-marked.
Only 7.5 from Ashley Banjo and Jayne Torvill for that beautiful routine? Really? I guess if she stood on ice like Gemma Collins it would have been higher… #DancingOnIce

Scoring seems so wrong tonight on DOI I think Saara deserved higher score she started off on her own. That deserved a 9.0!! #dancingonice
