OHMYGOSSIP — Denise Van Outen has claimed ‘Dancing On Ice’ judges need to be tougher on more experienced contestants.
The 46-year-old star was forced to quit the ITV figure skating competition last month after injuring her shoulder, and has now insisted she and Myleene Klass – who was eliminated first – were judged too harshly.
She told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “I found it quite frustrating because I’d never done it before – and Myleene hadn’t either.
“We got quite low scores and were compared to others in the competition who had a lot of experience.
“That’s a bit difficult. I was like, ‘I can’t do any more, I only learned to skate two months ago.’ ”
Denise claimed other celebrities on the show have “had advanced training” which gives them an advantage.
She added: “A lot of people in the competition have trained a lot and had coaching but I think it’s quite obvious to see from home.
“You can see who’s had advanced training because they’re the ones doing all the tricks and lifts and skating on their own.
“We were two mums just giving it a go. It was like, ‘We’ve never done it before!’ ”
The actress and presenter was forced to bow out of the show after her first routine when she took a tumble on the ice during rehearsals and ended up with three fractures and a dislocation in her shoulder.
She recently said: “After the rehearsal I spent 15 hours with my shoulder being dislocated because we didn’t really want to bother the NHS knowing that they’re so overstretched.
“So it wasn’t until the pain was so unbearable that they advised I went in to see them. They put my shoulder back in but it popped out again, and then I skated on it in the most excruciating pain I cannot tell you.
“After that, I had an MRI, and it was fractured in three parts. So I’ve got three fractures and a dislocation.”
