Posters on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, have complained that the judges on Dancing On Ice are being harsh on comedian Lou Sanders and giving her lower marks than she deserves.

Wendy aka @woowoowend posted: "Hang on what??? #DancingOnIce yet again #LouSanders undermarked….skated on her own, more skating than Claire Sweeney…..what am I missing"

Dr Suzi Gage agreed: "In fairness I've never watched #DancingOnIce before, but I really don't understand the scoring. Why is Lou Sanders getting so much lower scores when she's doing really good skating?!? It's so odd."

Gilnay posted: "@dancingonice Am I missing something - no way is Lou Sanders deserving of those low scores - I have a feeling the judges aren’t digging her - lower marked than skaters being held up by their professional skaters"

Kris Richens posted: "The scoring is what the judges think. I think it’s time #DancingOnIce thawed. Lou Sanders is great but gets scored down by them lot. If they don’t like you, you don’t get scored well."

I am only comparing Jane and Chris' scores not the artistic ones.Please judges be consistent"
